Do you have a close knit group of girlfriends? Why or why not?

bizzy592 · September 2015

I have some very close female friends, but nothing anyone wants to make a sitcom about. I also have very close male friends.

anjemon · September 2015

I do right now, but it's new that we can hang out. Two of my really good friends from high school and I try to get together on a weekly basis. One of them was my roommate for a few years before marriage. But the other just moved back to our area last winter. So I'm loving having my oldest friends around to hang out with.

Other than that I don't feel like I have a lot of close girl friends. But I'm working on getting to know my H's friends wives better. There are a couple who I really like and I'm hoping we can be really good friends sometime soon.

Nope. My best friend (female) is joined to the hip with her fiance, so it's unheard of to do anything "girls only" with her. The kicker? They live and work together (met at work). It's a sad situation and IMO unhealthy to be with your SO all. the. time (work too!). I think he went on a business trip once without her, so she was alone for like 4 days.

edit: she told me one time her only 'alone' time was in the car. They both drove separate cars to work. two cars. Same place. But then they ran into some money trouble, and then carpooled. I just don't get it.

Liatris2010 · September 2015

Nope. I move around a lot for school and work, so I have female friends, but they don't all know each other and we are not a friend group. It was really fun to get them all together at my bachelorette party and watch them al get to know each other. A few of them are facebook friends now, but I doubt they'd ever all have the hankering to hangout as a group again. And I am A-okay with it. There is no friend group drama where S is mad at T and wants you to be at her too because there is no one group.

Maybe you aren't seeing her as much because she is tired of having her relationship judged by you.

Kahlyla · September 2015

I did in my hometown, an awesome bunch of gals that I met at university, and a few from outside of school. But no new group since moving.

emmaaa · September 2015

I'm really lucky that I have a close knit group of 5 or 6 girlfriends. Most of them I have been friends with since kindergarten and through high school.

madamerwin · September 2015

Nope. I have a few female friends from college who I keep in touch with, but they're scattered all over the place. H and I have a few circles of friends (mainly couples) that we hang out with on a regular basis, but I am not really close enough to most of them to consider them "girlfriends". And we have a few individual couples we get together with, including our neighbors (the wife and I do hang out just us occasionally).

I only have two female friends in my town who I make much effort to see, and while they are friendly with each other, they would never hang out together unless it was through me. I am pretty happy with my friend situation; H and I are both pretty private homebodies, and we enjoy our solitude.

climbingsingle · September 2015

Yes. Why - I don't know how to really answer that. My group of girlfriends are my best friends from high school. We've known each other for 20+ years. We've been through a lot with each other, and have always remained close.

vikinganna87 · September 2015

I have a close knit group of girlfriends in Boston since I lived there for 15 years after college. [I recently moved to NH, but I'm only 1hr 20mins away.] Within that group some of us are closer than others but most of us have known each other 10+ years. We used to go out about once a month but now we try to at least celebrate each others' birthdays and other milestones.

I moved around a lot when I was growing up, so my friends are a combination of work, book club, running club, friend-of-friend, grad school, Scandi club combinations. Aside from the group of aforementioned girlfriends, it's an eclectic mishmash and they only meet each other if I'm having a party.

As I get older I prefer doing something athletic like hiking or trail running or more quiet one-on-ones in the evening. I spend a lot of time with H and Rufus the dog and our immediate families, though I try make time twice a week to meet up with a friend or group of friends.

Maggie0829 · September 2015

Nope. I am kind of a loner and always have been. I consider my best friends my Mom and my H. We, as a couple, have a few friends, but I personally don't have many friends. I do have a group of girls that I have met on here and we talk off the boards and I consider them great friends, but in regards to people that I hang out with, face to face, on a regular basis, not so much.

Why? Well like I said I am more of a loner. I also have gotten burned a few times in the past by groups of girls I consider very good friends and I personally just don't have time to deal with that kind of shit now that I am an adult. And really any free time I have I just prefer to hang out with H and my pup.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I have few close friends in town and those who I consider my closest friends live the furthest away.

This. Exactly. I've also gotten really close with my sister and consider her friends my friends also.

this is me.

MairePoppy · September 2015

Nope. I have a few close friends, but they aren't a group. I hang out with each of them individually. If I threw a party and invited everyone I knew, it would be a very small party and none of guests would know each other.

[Deleted User] · September 2015

I guess I'm the kind of person who doesn't have just a bunch of friends. I have five female friends whom I am very, very close to. One has been my best friend since we were in first grade. The others I have known since middle school. They are all going to be in my wedding. Outside of that, I don't really have other female friends, though I have been getting a bit closer to FI's friend's wife, who I would love to see more of. I'm also a bit of a loner, and I don't go out of my way to make friends--I guess because I am happy with the friends I have. I also suck at staying in touch with people, so there's that. I had a bigger group of mixed-gender friends in college, but I was always kind of the outsider because I didn't go out with them a whole lot. I think I am just better in small groups

STARMOON44 · September 2015

I have several close girlfriends, but they aren't necessarily close to each other. We hang out in various groupings and everyone gets along, but we aren't one solid group. I like it!

madamerwin · September 2015

TBH when I first saw this thread I thought we were going to be talking about whether TLC was superior to Destiny's Child (yes). Or whether the Spice Girls had any discernible talent (no).

TLC forever. Just saw them in concert recently. Start the discussion!

kvruns · September 2015

Yes although my closeness with the group changes over time. At one time I was closer to my college friends and we got together a lot and talked a lot. Now we don't see each other that often but I've reconnected with a HS group and we talk and hang out a lot. Just depends on life and how things shake out.

I really did too. And instantly began singing "No Scrubs".

Weirdly I went to the 50's and 60's girl groups first.

But Destiny's Child all the way!

julieanne912 · September 2015

Not really. I've moved around a lot and am kind of a loner anyway. I have my one BFF who was my MOH and a few other girlfriends I've met through FI, but no core group of girlfriends.

sassyfrass2014 · September 2015

I have a really mixed group of friends. Pretty even split of girls and guys. I have a ton of friends who are girls, but they aren't necessarily a group!

MyNameIsNot · September 2015

I have a group of friends that I've had since high school. There are 4 women and 3 men that still do a lot together. I see the other women and one wife as my core female group, but I'm friends with the men too. I also have a few female friends that aren't related to this group that I'm closer too.

mileybangerz · September 2015

I had some, but they only talked about licking assholes and being single, so I ditched them.

WinstonsGirl · September 2015

Not really. My BFF lives an airplane ride away, so we only see each other 1-3 times a year. My HS group of friends are all still friends, but they were mostly guys. I like their wives, and they were part of "the group" from Uni on, but they're all super into music, whereas I'm more of a jock. My other super good friend from that group now love in Vancouver, so that connection is kinda missing as well.

Another really good friend got married and has 2 young kids, so she's busy with them. Honestly, most to all of my friends have young kids at the moment (under 5), so it's harder to see them, and many don't seem to feel comfortable leaving their husbands alone with 2+ kids for more than 5-10 minutes, so getting together is harder.

I'm also terrible at small talk, as well as an introvert and pretty independent, so I've usually been ok doing things on my own, leading to fewer possibilities of doing things with people in the first place. I'm really missing that close connection at the moment.

Same here!

HeatherKat · September 2015

I don't pick my friends based on their genitals, so no. I have a close group of friends, but it's comprised of both sexes.

erinlin25 · September 2015

Yes-- but we don't live near each other. I have 3 best friends who I've been friends since we were eight (grew up dancing together, eventually all went to the same HS). I was also close to my college (sorority) friends but when I moved those friendships started to dwindle. Never effected my best friends though-- even though we are hours a part we are still super close and talk/text all the time.

Now where I live I don't have any new girl friends, just a few friends of my Husbands and I get a long with their SO's but unless its a couples date I don't typically hang out with just the girls. We are friendly, just not close like I am with my best friends.
