a hard know to think.

19 Feb 2003

making friends.

Here in Connecticut, things are not going too well on the socialization front. I'm afraid we lost our ability to mix well once we got married. Consider this conversation we had over fast food last night:

K: Those people look nice. We could be friends with them... Try to spill something on them on the way out.
M: Our clumsiness could be our ticket in!
K: I bet those spilly people in the Pasta Pro commercial have tons of friends.

How do you make friends?

Try internet dating. I think they even have some websites that are geared towards couples.

Oh... Wait...

Go to other people's weddings.

Well it works for me, anyway.

By showing an interest in other people. By asking lots of questions, but not obnoxious questions. It makes people feel good and they like you more.

But spilling stuff on them can work, right?

We feel your pain. Things were like this for us in S'pore for a LONG time. We finally ended up meeting a friend of a blog friend and now we have people to play with.
My best friend, Karen, and her husband, Tom, live in Hartford. Is that near you guys?

Hartford is about an hour away. Not stop-by-for-dinner distance, but maybe meet-halfway-for-?? distance. :)
