Three years here and we have still not met one other couple in this
Posted as we_know_nobody_here
- Looking for
- another couple, for friendship, with genuinely no expectation beyond it
- Experience
- Together nine years, this between us for five, nothing outside the house.
- Around
- the mid-cities, Dallas
We moved here for his work in the spring three years ago and we have made colleagues rather than friends, which is a distinction you only notice on a long weekend.
Thirty four and thirty seven, out in the mid-cities. This has been part of our marriage for five years, entirely at home, entirely between us, and very good. What we do not have, and increasingly want, is anybody at all to talk to about it.
So the honest ask is friendship. Dinner with another couple who know. Conversation that does not require either of us to edit ourselves for an hour. If in a year that became something more because four people wanted it to, fine, but we are genuinely not writing this as a coded version of anything.
We are aware of how that sounds on a personals board. We have read the posts that say the same thing and mean something else. All we can offer is that we will be extremely boring about it and will not push. He leads at home. She does not. That is settled and not open to discussion or exploration by anybody. Both of us work in fields where discretion matters, which we suspect is going to be true of anybody we meet in this metro.
Not looking for a single person. Not looking for a couple where one of them was brought along. Not looking for a first meeting that is anything other than four people in a public place having a conversation, and probably a second one exactly the same.
