On the advice of Dr. P. I have been trying to get out and socialize more. I signed up for a ballet class, which I absolutely love. I joined my alma mater’s alumni council. And I’ve been attending activities that sound fun on Meetup.com.
A few weeks ago I saw a play and had dinner with a theatre lovers group. It was fun, but I’m going to be so real when I say a night out with a bunch of couples was not my cup of tea. It wasn’t a couples activity, yet almost every person there was coupled up.
