I've moved around the country a lot. From across the midwest, down to the south, and now to the west, I've looked to each move with fun, adventure, and new beginnings. And I did them all without having a tight group of girlfriends along the way. Sure, I have a best friend from high school, and I make friends pretty quickly in new environments, school, or work. But the whole BFF thing? Me, Nah. I've typically been fine flying solo. Until now-- having lived in California now for five years, I'm still struggling to make some long-lasting connections. It didn't help that until recently, I wasn't working outside of the home. But to make up for that, I joined various social groups through Meet-up.com, where I did meet some great ladies, but no one who comes over to "just hang."
