question...
Okay, so this will probably sound like a lonely creeper, but trust me, I'm not...just had a conversation with my husband, and thought I'd post it on here... 
We moved here (North Austin/RR area) a year ago, got married, and have been doing the grown up thing - work work work, basically. lol. We are young - I'm 20 and he's 23, and we have no kids. People our age are usually just partying and/or in college. That's fun and all, but not our normal life style. I work in childcare, so most people I meet there have kids...again, great, but just not our lifestyle. We grew up in a small town, so the friends we left behind in North Central Texas were people we grew up with our entire lives. We've never really had to make friends. But now, we're in a strange place and know no one...still...even after a year. I mean, we know people we work with, but we don't really like them. We don't go to church. So here's the question I asked my husband and will ask you...
How do grown ups make friends?
Is that creepy? haha :P
Re: question...
... sadly, I don't have many "grown up" friends.
I have some friends at work (thankfully, I work with some great people) - and I have met a couple people through the nest/bump that are friends too. Otherwise, not too many friends.
Actually, now that I think of it - DH and I made a really great "couple" friend through his soccer team. Austin Sports and Social Club has some great recreational sports and we had a great experience with people on our team. DH plays premiere soccer in Austin, and I meet a lot of wives/girlfriends when I go to watch his games.
It's hard. I know.
We have GTGs every once in a while. I know the north nesties meet pretty regularly. Maybe you can get on the invite list???
"The House We Built."
A journey of building the dream.
Same boat here, it's NORMAL.
I like the GTGs, but as pp mentioned, I also made friends through work (I'm a teacher). Lost my job for next year though, so I'm screwed friend-wise.
I'm also thinking about joining a church just to see. Our problem is we're 28 and although we will try for kids soon, none yet, and just about everyone I know has kids or lives 500+ miles away.
Post your email and I'll add you to the list. We have a GTG coming up in a couple of weeks.
This is not creepy, and you are totally not alone! I posted something along these exact lines about a month ago. Since then, I've gone to one of the North GTG (and am planning on going to the next one!), and joined the Austin Nesties Book Club as well (which was also great!).
It's amazing (in a less than fun way) to realize that you have to work to find friends as an adult -- you don't seem to just stumble across them the way you could while in school, because work has you interacting with the same people day in and day out.
Keep your chin up, and come out with us to some of the GTGs! I'd love to meet you -- I'm definitely still working on making friends in this town!
Thanks for all the responses! Feeling so much better just to know that it's normal!

Totally not creepy! haha. My husband and I just moved here 2 weeks ago.. and that was (is) one thing I've thought about more than once. We know NO ONE here.. okay, I mean, we've talked to the people in our apartment office, and the guy that sold us our car wants to hang out sometime, but that is literally all, ha. It makes living in a new place even harder, not having anyone to get out of the house with, or someone to talk to (aside from husband, of course).
I'm 24, and my husband is 26, no kids, either. We don't go to church, and the partying style just isn't ours either. So I definitely know what you mean :]
thanks, steph. Glad I'm not alone on this...or creepy! haha
I'm throwing my email out here for anyone who wants to chat.
