[quote=Anonymous]Do you have any friends who would be up for more activity-based interactions? I have a friend I regularly play tennis with (we're both pretty bad) and a couple more I go paddle boarding with.

The climbing gym has belay-partner meet up nights, including ones targeted to women. There are masters swim groups that are really inviting.

A coworker of mine does a ton of baking. She brings something in for us almost weekly.

I like to plan dinner parties and other events. Nobody hosts any more so it is much appreciated by my friend group - and has been good for increasing or social circle.

Lots of volunteer opportunities with faith communities. I checked out a unitarian church recently and if I had more time could see myself getting involved in a community like that.

If you prefer more solo time: get into botany, mushrooming, or bird watching. Learn an instrument. Learn a language. Create Shutterfly photo albums from your daughters childhood or to send to old friends for special occassions.

My dad was a big woodworker in his spare time. I have friends who have gone to women-specific woodworking retreats. I'm kind of intrigued![/quote]
