Flaky Friends

Hey there! So I have four friends...yeah a bit pathetic...from all paths of life (grammar school, high school, sorority).  Unfortunately they are all flaky (babies, grad school, jobs). I am in need for reliable friends. I tried groups within my church, but they are all over 40! (I'm 24.) Not sure where to go from there, and I can't depend on my hubby to entertain me all day every day for the next 60 years. Any suggestions? Any one in need for a new friend?

Thanks!

Re: Flaky Friends

  • find a new church with a more mixed congregation.  i don't think i could ever go to one with no one at all in my life group.
    volunteer for an organization you're interested in--animal shelters, habitat for humanity, soup kitchen, the library, whatever.
    take classes.  there are cheap ones offered by cities, community colleges, and other organizations.

    if i weren't a flaky grad student, there are a million hobbies, classes, and activities i'd love to pursue. oh wait, if i weren't a grad student, i'd probably have a job that would take up most of that time.

    seriously, though, i'm busy, but i do make time for my friends when i can.  and when i disappear for months at a time, i'm lucky enough that they understand (without calling me a flake), and we pick up where we left off. 

  • Hi Ashley! I am totally flaky and perpetually late, so I'm definitely not a good friend for you. However, if you list some hobbies / interests, I'm sure we can better assist you.

    Actually, I totally call you a flake behind your back.

     

    Just keeping it real.

  • Those are great suggestions! Thanks.It's just pisses me off sometimes b/c a simple courtesy call and chat I appreciate but these girls are very preoccupied. I just need to vent sometimes. Thanks again!

  • Hey I totally feel you on the needing friends thing. As far as suggestions, I have recently been using meetup.com I haven't made any true friends yet, but at least it gets me out of the house, last week I met a group of 30 girls for dinner and a movie. you should check it out, I was totally nervous the first time, but it's not so bad. I could always use a new friend. Right now MH works all day and I am not working right now, so he comes home and just wants to relax, and I want to go out and do things, I think i may be driving him crazy : ) let me know your schedule maybe we can meet for coffee or something.
