[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work with a woman my age/similar stage in life, and we have been work friends for 3 years give or take. We don't actually do any work together, but are on the same team so we're constantly texting during the workday and outside of work to vent but also talk about our personal lives, and every couple weeks we chat on the phone for 30+ minutes. We're fully remote but live very close to each other. Something she mentioned to me came up in conversation with DH the other day, and he asked me if I'd ever gotten together with her in person, which I haven't. It got me thinking that that would be fun, but I feel kind of weird suggesting that years into our work friendship. Am I overthinking this? Should I just leave things virtual?[/quote]

you can but work friends aren't real friends. Actually there are no real friends other than the people who saw you grow up.[/quote]

That might be true in your life but it isn’t universally true.[/quote]

Of course it is. Childhood friends are more valued and they stay for the good and the ugly. It's a non shallow non pretentious and non transactional kind of true friendship. Rest are network buddies or acquaintances.[/quote]

No way. I’m not in touch with any childhood friends. We have nothing in common anymore.[/quote]
