It's not fair. *crosses arms and pouts* Mike's friends called and want to have another boy's night/weekend. Now before you go getting mad at him, he wouldn't go if I didn't want him to and he doesn't give me grief what-so-ever. I'm stomping around more because his buddies DO plan those kinds of outings every now and then and call to invite him. Girls never call me for a girls night. Ever. I try to set up girls' nights but they pretty much never pan out due to one flakey excuse or another. I have tried to plan way in advance or a few days ahead. It doesn't matter. Then I either hear a story weeks later about this girl or that girl and their girls' night with their friends. But no one ever calls me. I have tried girls' nights in, girls' nights out. No takers.
When my friend from China comes to the U.S. she is all about girls' night. Then suddenly, girls that never reach out unless we are hanging out as a co-ed group, are interested and want to be invited. The few times that maybe it would just be nicer for it to be she and I since we rarely see each other they ask me to call them.
Am I that awful to hang around or am I just not memorable enough for people to think to invite me too? Often when we are hanging out as a group, the girls seem excited to see me and they are often the ones who say we should get together. Blah, blah, blah. I've just come to accept it's all just niceties. They are girlfriends and wives of my husband's friends. That's the extent of our "friendship."
It just sucks. I would like to be called and asked to run away for a girls' night or weekend every once in awhile.
On a positive note: I got to talk to my dear friend Amanda for an hour last week and a nice brief chat today. Glad to hear things are starting to take shape for her. <3
