[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if it's so much a Harvard thing as a "college was the best time of my life!!!" thing. Some people just really love to keep their college circle together even if they don't have much in common. It is also about differences in social styles: some people love to have lots of events with a big social group, and the best way to do this is to keep up with your college circle.

Personally, I dated a guy like this and really did not like that aspect of our relationship. His circle was boring and only seemed to hold together out of inertia. I prefer to do things one on one with close friends, instead of endless barbecues and dinners and brunches with a group that I don't really connect with (not dislike, just feel "meh" about.)  and another aspect is always feeling judged as an outsider if the group has any particular political or philosophical bent.

So anyway I think you just have to accept that this social circle will be part of your life, and do some negotiating tools sure that some of your social time is spent with people you truly enjoy.[/quote]
