I have quite a few lovely friends, but I find it very hard to get to the next level. Highlighted recently when I realised that a subgroup of my group of friends were going away to spa hotel for the night. I thought that I was "in there", but it seems not. I am a bit sad, just because I adore my friends.
I am fairly shy at heart, but I am always the first to offer (genuine) support if someone needs help. I am reliable and kind and never bitchy. I am never down or a drag. But I am pretty low key and relaxed. I do arrange social things and invite everyone along. Am wondering if I am just not "sparklely"/fun enough (I am fairly quiet - more of a listener than a talker).
So how do you help develop girlie friendships (in your late 30s). I have a loving marriage and family, but would love some close girlfriends.
