Remember when I was excited social butterfly? Now I'm more like a languid social catepillar. I spent some time this week with two women whom I've known but am getting to know better. I was really happy to spend that time with them. On Friday I had scheduled some ladies night with another person I'd like to get to know better. It was not fun at all. I enjoyed the conversation we had but could tell right off the bat that we are too different to hang out one on one. We are definitely better as husband/wife couple friends. That night really bummed me out. I was hoping there would be that spark where we would just click and have an awesome time! But no. It was not meant to be!
I went back to meetup.com today to check out the new activities that my groups have going on and noticed there was a camping trip scheduled!! I love camping! And... then I saw it cost 100 dollars. That's not happening. Can these meetups A: happen on a day when I don't have to work? and B: happen to be a lot less than 100 dollars?
So, being the proactive friend finder that I planned on being, I decided to start my own meetup group. However, that too costs a good chunk of change that I am not parting with. I decided to search other groups. And I found a group where I could have so many friends!!! But it's a gamer group and there would most likely be all guys in it.... I need to find a girl friend!!!! So I decided to create an event in one of my groups and I proposed hiking at Clinton Lake next Sat. So, we will see if anyone wants to join up!
I also looked at joining a running group in Lawrence, but I do not run as many miles (right now) as those groups do. I just started running again after taking a break due to the summer heat.
Well, I'm still at it. I'm still trying to find that best friend. And if I meet some other friends along the way there is nothing wrong with that! However, I long for that girl that I can call and say "I really need to get out for a run, you down?" and she replies "Hell yeah!". Where are you?
