I feel a bit like a teenager writing this but here goes.
I have a few close friends which I've picked up from various places, school, uni, work etc and I get on with them well, we meet up maybe up to 4x a year ish and pick up where we left off all good. But I'm starting to feel a bit frustrated as all these close friends seem to have a 'group' of close buddies who all live nearby to them, they go on holidays, meet for dinner/coffee regularly do group birthdays etc I am honestly really happy for them and not so much looking to join their groups as they live far away but I guess it makes me feel a bit sad and lonely that I don't have a local 'group' of real buddies of my own who I can have a laugh with, be honest with see each other's messy houses with no judgement kind of buddies
I can often go months with no-one texting me to see how I am and sometimes feel I am the one doing all the initiating.
I'm a woman in my thirties, married no DC yet (ttc) and feeling a bit of craving for a local group who I can see regularly and you know just have some mutual support/laughs with y'know. Some people who not already too busy with established group and might actually have time and space for a real friend not just another aquantaince.
Is this unrealistic - how do I, without being weird, go about finding some likeminded local people who want to be my friend
