[quote=Anonymous]I have friend groups. I have friends that are not in a particular group. Plus, my husband and I usually host one or two large events at our home every year where we literally invite all of our friends and just see who shows up.

1. Group of seven of us from law school. All over the country. Travel to see each other on average every 18 months. We have a text chain that is always pretty active e. I’m closest now with 2 of them that I see more often. We visit once or twice a year. One of them brings their family to visit my family once a year. Separately, I have a sort of “best friend” from law school that isn’t part of the group.
2. Three women I met in my mid-30s that were all in the same Sunday school class. We try to have dinner once a month. Two of them have been best friends for years and the other two of us are newer. One of the women’s husbands is now close with me husband. We travel on couples trips once or twice a year.
3. A marriage group we are in with 5 other couples. We have gotten together once a month for about 10 years.
4. A variety of other one off friends from college and other places.
5. Friends of my husband’s that I am now close with. Includes one single woman and several couples. Some of them have some level of overlap.

My husband and I are extroverts. We are happy to invite people to things with no reciprocation. My husband is even more interested than I am in turning connections into friendships. Because we invite everyone to hang out together at least once a year and we do lots of smaller events at our house as well, lots of our friends are now what I would call “friendly acquaintances” since they have seen each other for years at various events. Recently, two couples who aren’t close but have now known each other for years through us went on an overnight with us to a resort about 1.5 hours away. We all had a great time. [/quote]
