Remember way back when you were "cool"?

Okay, so I am in need of some creative (or just regular) ideas or ways for the hub and me to meet new "married friends".. Wait I just saw the way that read, and let me clarify lol! All of our friends (we are those ppl who have a few good close friends rather than a phonebook of "sorta" friends) But 1) All of our friends are from before "us", though we mesh great with each others friends they are still "his" and "hers" and 2) None are married, or even in a serious relationship so its fun here and there but it's hard for my friends to relate to having hubby stuff, credit stuff for new house etc. My hub and I are over the "partying" scene and are more comfy doing the redbox and sushi thing on a Saturday night so it's not like we hit up bars and clubs to meet new ppl either. (which is fine with me!)

So with all that being said, are we the only couple in Dallas that has no other married friends? We want to have "coupled" friends to share and do things with but it seems those "good ole friends" you have cocktail and house warming parties with really only exist in the movies!

Hoping I am not the only one with this issue!!!

Re: Remember way back when you were "cool"?

  • Hi!  I answered this when you posted this last month.  Here you go again:

    Do you go to a church and do they have an adults/couples group?

    Are either of you an alumni of a university with a former students association in the area and have you joined?  Many universities have local clubs and are quite active here in DFW. 

    Do either of you belong to professional organizations and do you both go regularly to their functions?  

    Do you volunteer?

     

  • I'm sorry but I take offense at this title. Just because we're married doesn't automatically make us "uncool."

  • I have to go with Julie on this one. Mostly I started becoming friends with my husband's friend's wives and now I think they are just as much my friends as they are his. Do you have old friends that may be married you could reach out too? We still go to the bars and clubs, but I don't think meeting couples there would be an easy task.
  • Hmmm, do you have any co-worker/friends?  Maybe you guys could take up a hobby and meet people that way?  We don't have a ton of married friends--most of Ben's friends are still single.  And the ones that are married have little kids, which we do not.  Most of my girlfriends are single.  So yeah, we don't go out with other couples much either.
