build lasting friendships

My sweetie & I have made some real friends in “the Lifestyle”. There are two couples in particular that we’ve seen a lot of… we truly enjoy their company and it seems the feeling is mutual. So that’s a good thing! We also have a single woman Lifestyle friend who is a real kindred spirit to me… I hope to spend more time with her in future!

I feel like I’m making progress on this one. Michael, Wendy, and Nadine are all true friends and there has been mutual effort to build and maintain the relationships. I am trying to redefine “friendship” with less focus on how much time I spend f2f with someone. The old “constantly hanging around each other house” model just doesn’t work with my lifestyle. Hell I’ve never met Nadine in the (lovely) flesh… but she is certainly more of a friend than some people I see every day.
