Do y'all have a lot of single friends left? Almost all of ours are married, so it works out. What about you singles who have tons of married/Long-term relationship pals -- is it weird?

Most of our friends are married or in long term relationships at this point. It's hard to hang out with our single friends because they get uncomfortable.

Same! Not all of them but it's weird when we hang out with our single guy friends because all they're trying to do is find "tail" and I hate the "hey Michael look at her" crap -- it's just annoying (even he gets tired of it). Not that I care that he looks (used to, got over that -- I'm the one with the ring), but it gets old after a while.

Most of the girls I'm friends with are either married or in long-term relationships. I have a few single friends too and the only thing that I've noticed is that there are some things that they are really not too interested in talking about. But that's okay...I've save those topics for the other girls. :)

ETA--Ryan still has a lot of single friends but they are pretty good about (at least in front of me) not saying anything to offend me. I'm sure they save their remarks for when I leave the room! ;)

Most of my friends from home were single, but the two girls I'm closest to just recently both got boyfriends! Scott's closest guy friend in this area is single, but most of our coworkers are married. So it's a mixture of both. It hasn't ever been weird for me to hang out with my single friends; I just leave Scott at home because he doesn't want to hear the girl talk :lol:.

I have 1 friend that is getting married this summer and one that got married last summer but the rest of them are all single, They don't even have boyfriends!

Majority of Evan's friends are single as well, He has one friend that is in a long term relationship other then that they are nowhere close to getting married!

Evan's friends that are single are always looking to get laid as well it is soo annoying! They are all so excited for the bachelor party!

most of our friends are either married or in committed long term relationships. dh best friend is single and no plans of committing anytime soon. we kinda lost touch with him beacuse all he wants to do is party since he has no responsibilities. and it sucks but itll change sooner or later

Most of our friends from high school are still single, but they have kids....go figure. We don't really see/talk to many of these people anymore. We just don't have anything in common anymore.

Most of the guys Tom works with and we socialize with are married and have kids.....and only one of the investigators here in my office is married, the other two are single, though one is in a long-term relationship.

Most of my college friends are married. There are only 3 left to get married, and none of them are dating anyone. My single friends I'm still close to because I was single for so long with them, but I'm sure they feel weird now.

Most of our friends are guys and they are pretty much single and or just now dating. We are so ready for more weddings to happen and them to all settle down.

We seem to have a mix of both.... However, I would say 90% of our single friends are male.

I think I'm the only single member here! :ovation: :lol:

Yeah, all of my friends are at least coupled up if not married, so it can be a little strange by times, but we do our best to not make each other uncomfortable. It's funny though, sometimes we'll have conversations that go something like this:

Them: "Ooooh, so-and-so has a friend who's single!"
Me: "Oh yeah? What's he like? Do we have anything in common? Is he cute?"
Them: "Oh, I don't know, but he's single! We should set you up!"

as if the fact that we're both single means we're a perfect match. :laugh3:

Nice Tanya, got to love understanding friends like that, huh? heheh....

anyways, we are the first of MY friends to get married, but it seems like all of his friends are already married. In fact, it's split nearly down the middle.

I only have one friend who is about my age that is married. Other than that I'd say it's split about a 50/50 for single and those in LTR.

Most of my friends are in serious relationships, a few are married. His friends, however, are mostly single. I think they want to settle down but are too focused on getting a piece and drive the good girls away.

The only thing that bothers me is FH will sometimes use me as a reason not to go out with them.(Jill wants to do this. or Jill wants me home.) I got a text from one of his friends a few weeks ago asking me if FH could go out with him that night. Geez.

Most of my friends are single. It usually doesn't get complicated....I still go out and have fun with them,...just not as much as I used to.

Umm, ours is kind of 50/50. Some are married, some are still playing the field. But our friends have a very wide variety of ages, so you'll have that.

Katie~ you made it! woo hoo!

A few of my friends are married, and we will be the first out of all of FHs group of friends.

Alot of my closest friends are married (some with kids) so I often feel like the third wheel when I'm hanging out with them. I sometimes feel like I'm being pitied because I'm still the "single one." It's like there's a challange of "who can we set her up with?!" :(

We'll be the first out of our friuends to get married. The friends that we have in common are all couples in serious relationships. Our friends that we have individually are a 50/50 split.

Most of our friends are either married or engaged. Some of Brent's friends from way back are still single and still in that *party hearty* mode. I have a few single friends from college that keep asking if there are going to be any hot girls/guys at my wedding for them to hook up with.....:lol:

FH and I have a wide circle of friends.
On my side, we are the last to be married.
On his, there are 2 other couples not yet married.

We have 1 single guy friend and Bruce's sister is singe. We have 3 friends who are married and 2 that are getting married next year. It is sometimes a little weird when the unmarried guy friend is around. He seems to be a little umcomfortable at times.

I think at this point our friends are probably about 2/3 "coupled" & 1/3 single. AFAIK, our single friends don't feel weird hanging out w/ couples... we pretty much all just dissolve into a big silly group beast when we're together, so who's paired w/ whom is kindof a non-issue.

Thinking about it, I know very few married couples... though most of our coupled friends have been together for a couple of years, at least. Eeenterrresting...

My married girlfriends have moved out if the area and the only ones that are left are completely single. I love to go out with them but it feels like there is always a lot of drama when we do. We always have to hunt down this guys that one met on myspace or the one that just sent a text and, "Oh my God! He was with another girl!" or "He didn't even talk to me!" I just laugh and thank god that I don't have to deal with all that uncertainty anymore!

I have one best friend (and really only friend) and she's got a 6yr old daughter (never married) and single.

We live a good 25-30 minute drive apart. But don't get to see each other much.. One of us is always busy or something :)

We have been friends for like 8 yrs now.

Most of both our friends are single or dating. A few are in relationships, and a couple are engaged or married. The engaged or married ones are a couple of Luke's friends.

It's hard sometimes because I feel that I can't relate to them as well I used to. They're planning sorority events and I picking out a wedding dress.

I had this problem when I was taking classes. I had a lot of school friends but they were not at the same point in life so it was hard to hang out with them. Even the ones I was close with couldn't seem to understand why I was getting married so young.

Most are married. But it is kind of strange b/c we don't hang out as married couples. We have yet to make those "couple" friends if you know what I mean. For the most part it is still my friends, his friends and they don't really get together.

I would like to make some married friends where we can all hang out together.

i'm with you in singledom tanya!

and i have a wide variety of married, coupled, and single friends... i am beginning to find that the coupled ppl are the most awkward to be around actually, the married couples are solid enough in their relationship they can hang and be normal whereas the couples all are cling-ons...
oh, and i too hate the incessant need to set me up with ppl or pushing me to be in a relationship i don't want...
