[quote=Anonymous]I do have a nice group of friends here in DC, most of whom I met because we became moms together. We are friends for the same reasons people become friends throughout life: a combination of proximity, shared experiences, and chemistry (I find them all funny, which is important to me). It took me over 20 years in DC to build this. My oldest daughter, OTOH, moved to a European country famous for its friendliness and has immediately become part of a very tight knit group of friends. In three months! DD is not a gregarious person, though friendship is super important to her, and it has been amazing to watch how open these people are to forming friendships quickly. It’s like everyone there meets people wanting to be friends, vs assuming they won’t be friends. [/quote]
