[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the replies but the whole DH knows not a single detail about his holding buddies is a guy thing.  My DH will tell me his cousin is getting married and I will ask, well where did he meet the bride, where is the wedding, when is the wedding, how did he propose etc, and DH will give me a blank look.  We have been together long enough that he will now ask a question or two for my sake but it still amazes me the differences.

As for finding new friends in the area, I will say it takes time to find people you might want to be friends with and years to deepen the friendships.  Also, people have different comfort levels so I wouldn't be vacationing with another couple unless we have been friends for years, and even then there are people that if you travel with them, you may not be friends anymore.  I'm not into the whole my best friends are my work friends either as I may have been in my twenties.  I think the lines can be blurred when you have to deal with people professionally and really know the good and bad as friends.  I tend to befriend more closely ex-coworkers or people where the working relationship isn't quite so close.

So anyway, there are believe it or not people looking for a fun couple to hang out with.  We are married with older kids (7 & 8) and enjoy having girls night out, boys night out, and couples night out every so often.  We probably were not ready for much of that when the kids were under 5. With kids we obviously need to plan more and daytime activities are harder unless it is just one of us.  I'm a lazy planner in general and you are right that people are so busy around here.  However, if someone provides the planning and I have enough notice, I tend to be up for going as long as it wouldn't have me away from DH and kids excessively (eg not going out every night or every other night that week).  You just have to find your activity that brings people in like a book club, or having a Super Bowl or holiday party ( say where you get to meet the wives of the golfing buddies) that people get to socialize with both of you.  Or you get a group to go to a baseball game or Maryland football game together.
