my main focus is my own ‘couple’...I’ve been so busy and we’ve had so many things going on that I just want to re-connect with my husband right now…perhaps after I feel like I’ve done that I will add this one back…but for now I’m clearing my list except for the really important ones!
How to cultivate more 'couple' friends
How I did it: I filled out as much profile information as possible on several site. Then, I contacted as many couples in my area as possible. I spoke with several via email and set up meeting times. I would say 1 in 3 was compatable, but all were professional and that's a better ratio than I had with singles dating.
Lessons & tips: Just put your self out there as much as comfortable. People are not willing to put in the time or make the initial contact, but once in contact, many people are pleasant!

one of the previously mentioned couples is now no longer a couple…and with my job change I now work with almost entirely single people…so still struggling with this one.
have almost no ‘couple’ friends…we each have some friends…but we have very few friends where we as a couple are friend with them as a couple. I would like to have more of these kind of friends that we could do things together with…my parents had several close couple friends…and they always loved getting together and doing things as a group. One problem…DH works where there are only 2 other people in his office (one being related) so he doesn’t have a whole lot of opportunity to meet other people and among my friends, most are either single or I really can’t invision what their spouse could possibly have in common with my spouse and therefore I can’t imagine much fun conversation for them. My hubby is not big on social things so I would want to make sure it wasn’t like him entertaining the SO of my friend while the two of us got together, so I’m looking for someone he’d have something in common with that he could enjoy spending an eveing with…instead of it seeming like a chore.
