Not that this weighs heavy on my mind or anything... its more of an "I don't get it" type of thing. But it seems like every time we invite a big group of people over, most people find a reason not to come. I guess take our wedding for example. We invited 200 people and not even 100 came. (And don't they say to expect 70%?) I guess this is payback for not being as social as I probably should be. I wonder if this means people really don't like us.
Where do you meet people? Work? School?
We met the majority of people here through meetup groups and work. I haven't met too many other people via mutual friends. And honestly, my work just isn't a good "pool" of people to hang out with. First of all, most the people at my work -- I would never hang out with on a daily basis. And second, of the ones I would, they are either too old (because they have kids my age) or they have really young kids and no babysitter.
It makes me feel bad that people don't like to hang out with us. We have like 2 friends who are always up for anything, and I love that about them. Though, we do the same for them... I dunno. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Or maybe we just have 2 friends in this city. Or maybe this means I really do need to move to Austin. I've heard there are more people there like me.

We met some of our friends through work but I'd say the majority of our current social network is due to me randomly getting in touch with a girl I used to work with at FCADV - ironically, we have TONS in common. And now we hang out pretty much every weekend. And we live nearby each other. I dunno - sometimes you just fall upon friends. Its kind of like, you meet someone, then call them up and are like, "so, what are you doing? wanna go to the pool or BBQ?"
That's cool. I think part of my problem is that a lot of people my age here have really young kids and can't go out. Not very many "childless" couples here.
