[quote=Anonymous]PP, the people we meet that we like have zero time to get together, ever. They are consumed with kids' activities and do not socialize as families/couples, except rarely with established close friends. As I mentioned in my original post, most people here are very different from us.  I don't want to mention ethnicity, etc, but please trust that culturally, there are different ways of socializing, and a huge swath of the folks here do not socialize the way we do.

For example, to remove ethnicity/national origin, etc: a couple who would be a good match for us would be: 42 years old (both), one an attorney, one working for an association. Have an inside joke about "that time at the hostel". Like to discuss politics, but not all the time. Taking their kids to Yellowstone, but considering going back to a nice beach vacation next year.

Instead, meet a couple with 58 year old dad who is very established partner in big law firm. Never home to socialize. Wife is second wife and 38. Complains about spoiled teenage step-kids while spoiling own children. Conversations with husband are awkward, because he isn't interested in meeting new people/doesn't deem us worthy of time. Going to resort for spring break, Europe for two weeks this summer, and Vail for winter break.

We would be considering moving to Fairfax County - I believe elementary school goes up to 6th grade? At least some of the time? Would that buy us an extra year?  I'd rather give staying here a last really hard push, and meanwhile make those little repairs/upgrades that would be required to sell the house (that we would enjoy anyway).[/quote]
