[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH, DC and I are very introverted and are happy hanging out as a family on evenings/weekends/holidays after school and work.

But sometimes I miss the deep connections I had with girl friends back in school and college days.
How can I find fellow introverts who will be available to meet for coffee/dinner and share feelings/fears and all the big and small things of life.  I dont have any trouble meeting people but most of them are into party/facebook/meetups/group events and seem to have a really large group of friends and no time for one on one private conversations. As an introvert, planning for and attending these group events exhaust me, and I really find no value in these  but I would enjoy private conversations with a small set of like minded folks who will be long term friends.

There is probably no real one answer to my question, but curious what other introverts do to make and maintain close friendships in this extroverted world.[/quote]

I don't know the answer, but I wanted to say I'm in the same boat.  Put yourself out there by getting involved in something (art or cooking class, book club, volunteering) and hopefully you will eventually meet someone like you.  It's hard because someone will have to make the first move to get involved outside of that activity, and it might have to be you.  I've lived here 3 years and only have 1 close friend in DC outside of my husband.  The other friends I made all moved away!  It's exhausting to keep finding new ones, so I'm not really focused on it anymore.[/quote]
