I’ve always had a couple of girlfriends, but never more than that. I don’t often meet, have much in common, really hit it off to where we become close friends with new women. I recently made a friend where I moved to, but it’s taken over a year for us to warm up. Neither of us pursued the friendship that often. I didn’t want her to feel bombarded by me, and maybe she felt the same. But our friendship has grown some now.

I guess, being in relationships with men, boyfriends or husband, that took up all my time. Girlfriends never made it a priority to get together. I rarely did a “girls night”. The girlfriends when married, were parts of couples where we went out with the husbands more often than just us girls alone.
