[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to your friends from college and grad school?[/quote]

We’re moving soon and I blasted all my friends and acquaintances for new people and family intros in the city where we are relocating too.  It’s hopefully a good start.

We also plan to recreate all our communities again there a church group, sports teams for kids, arts classes, car pool friends. It takes work but can be done. I had to do it before Covid and then another round after two years of shutdown… maybe DC area is more transient so people are amenable to it. Hope our. We place is too…[/quote]

This is a great way to approach moving. It takes a lot of effort to meet people these days. We all don't hang out on porches or meet up in laundry rooms or resident cocktail hours anymore. This can all be harder if your spouse isn't anywhere near as social as you are. If they're just fine watching a movie at home with the kids rather than attending soccer games, church, block parties, parks, it will be an uphill battle. I will say, though, I don't think kids activities necessarily always work out well these days with cellphones. Everyone gets buried in their phone, brought along a grandparent they're obliged to converse with for the entire swim meet, or they already have a group they associate with and don't have any interest in engaging. You can't make people talk to you. [/quote]
