Does anyone ever get bored and just want other gals to talk to???

Not much to add to that...pretty self explainatory....anywho.  I got married in March of 2013, have a wonderful relationship with my H, (don't get me wrong....we have our disagreements, but nothing unusual or out of the ordinary). Sometimes, I would just like more social interaction.  Anyone up now?  Ha, ha.

Lol, actually yes.  I do go out with my girls, but things really slow down with peoples' lives.  Friends have kids, while we do not.  So lots of my gfs are really difficult to get with these days. I love my H, but yes I would like a little more social interaction sometimes.  Lol.  I would assume that is pretty for the norm?

I'm in the same boat.  Most of my gf's live too far from me to see them regularly...we have to schedule weeks in advance.  I joined a Booze and Books book club and DH and I are hoping to find some way to meet other couples in our area...we need more friends.  :P

I would like less LOL. I am an introvert but with my job I work with people all day long.

Yes.  I would like more girl friends, but I'm pretty shy and am slow to open up to someone.

I have my husband but I still keep my girlfriends from highschool, college and gradschool. I always try to cultivate new relationship if I feel a connection. Having my close girlfriends have made my marriage better :-)

 My best friend is my husband, but I know how you feel. My female bff moved to Scotland this fall. I really miss her. We Skype and stuff but I miss being able to go get sushi and hit up Marshall's with her. I have other girlfriends but they just aren't as awesome as her. She is just fun and full of life plus she is one girl who I know will always have my back. It's hard to find friends like that. But they are out there. I'm just happy because she'll be back in the USA for Christmas!

My H and I run our business from home, so YES.  We moved to NC about a year ago and my closest friends are scattered around PA and Florida.  We moved into a neighborhood where we are the youngest and without kids so it's hard to connect with neighbors.

Yes. I'm awkward in that I'm not single, not partying, not in school, and not pregnant. Some days it feels like 98% of the girls I meet fall in this category! The closest friend I have like me works with me...and she's 3 years older than me, but I guess that's where I am!

I am so glad I found this post!  I feel exactly the same way.  My good friends are all scattered everywhere and its hard to make new ones.  I hate drama and fighting so I feel like 80% of females I meet are not friend material for me.  It feels lonely sometimes!

Seriously though!!! I too, not in school, not pregnant, I do work, but don't have any "friends" I work with. All of my friends have kids and that is all they talk about! I mean, I love kids, don't get me wrong and I can't wait to have our own. But, it is difficult when we get together and that is all they talk about, oh and their jobs, lots of them are teachers. I feel so alone sometimes, even when we get together. It sucks. I find myself becoming closer with my H's friend's gf, and she is just all over the place. I used to make friends no problem, but I find myself having a problem with most females because they are so much Drama! Lol ugghh

AHH! I Love this! DH and I got married in July 2012, I'm in school but I'm older than 50% of the students and significantly younger than the other half, most my GFs have friends or are really hard to get together with, we have no kids, all my friend from college live about 2 hours away, DH goes to work at 3am, so i spend most evenings hanging with our pets.  The winter is rough, I feel like I'm suffering from minor depression (SAD) and lack of people to socialze with. my only friends here who are readily able to hang out are guys, and that makes DH feel uncomfortable, so most the time i make-up excuses and avoid it.

DH is my best friend, and I would rather have him than all of my friends any day; but I do miss having girl time some days. I got married young, and graduated early, so all of my friends are still way behind me in terms of maturity.  I started a blog, and while it is not real girl time, it does give me a place to talk about things, and it gives me something to do when DH is working nights. I spend a lot of time babysitting my sister's daughters. I love doing their nails, and they love playing with my hair and doing my nails. So even if I can't talk to them about things, it is nice to see them. Not to mention the fact that they love it!
As far as actually having some one to talk to that can understand what being married is like and having girl time with. I don't have that right now, and I won't for a long time; but I have DH and he doesn't have any guy friends right now. Really, we just like talking to each other. I do get lonely when we is working nights, but we just got a Furbaby and she is my baby. Plus, all of the ladies on the boards here are great to talk to!
Sorry if I rambled and if there is any miss spellings, I have been up way too many hours studying for a mid-term!

OMG what is a Stich N' Bitch group?!  I want to join one! 

To the OP:
Yes, I would loooove to become friends with some new gals! I do love my friends that I have, but sometimes I'd like to branch out more.
Sometimes I wish we had more "couple" friends. A lot of my gfs have husbands, but, they all seem to already have their couple friends...we can't seem to find any

I'm in the same boat. I come from a very small community and am very wary of making 'casual friends' with people, there's so much gossip! It's sad but true. I'm not a socially outgoing person but love company and being with others, I'm just not so good at getting 'out there' and making friends! I often think I'd quite like a couple of like minded girl friends where I live; I have a couple of close friends who I only see once or twice a year as we live so far away.

I'm sorry, but I just can't help myself. DH is your BFF because you are 16 or 17 freaking years old!!! When I was that age all I wanted to do was be with my boyfriend too! Agh! Who,let's their 16 year old CHILD get married?!

Sugarplum97

He is not my best friend because I am that old. Everyone's husband should be their best friend. If you don't want to spend time with him, ad be happy just sitting together and watching a movie. Why would you marry him?

formerlyGDaisy09

Love DH dearly, however there are many times when I wish I had more friends who lived around me to do "girl things" with.  there are movies that I want to see that DH doesn't want to watch, he has no interest in joining me for a pedicure.  And his response to a proposal of "want to split a bottle of wine and knit (or talk about a book)" would most definitely be uncontrolable laughter. 

Feeling frustrated with my friends here, I became friends with them as DH and I were dating and planning our wedding, most of them were single at the time.  however in the past year or so they have all become involved in committed relationships, while I am happy for them all, they have pretty much dropped off the face of the earth.  invitations to do things are quickly shot down (if anyone responds), they've developed a nasty habit of canceling plans last minute, I'm feeling lonely.
