I am in my early 40s and other than female acquantince(sp?) through work.(.ladies that I talk to very regularly during the work day but do not do anything to do with them outside of work) I do not have any close female friends. I am married and so are they so I/they have never initiated anything outside of work because everyone is always busy with their own lives, families, etc. Plus we see each other at work all the time.
I have had close female friends in the past however they either moved away or contact just became lost. These are women that I did stuff with socially. However that was a number of years ago.
It is something that I do not really think about on a regular basis except when I hear someone talking about how they did a girls night out or a girls weekend with their girlfriends and then I think I do not have any "girl friends" outside of work. I was thinking about this today because a coworker was talking about how her DIL had her girlfriends over for a get together and at those times I think I would have no one to invite.
Is that strange..kind of makes me feel like a bit of a loser..LOL
Sometimes I think with my personality that I am social on one hand in that I enjoy chatting, conversing with people but then I also have kind of a loner side to me in that spending a weekend alone (when H. is out of town working) appeals to me. But then I wonder if that is strange as well..in that I do not go shopping, etc. with girlfriends?
