well i'm in my twenties, i believe as people get older and married, there will be less and less of this happening.


for example, clubbing, eating, watching a movie, or going on a vacation together, my friends (who bought their friends) would ask me to go, and i can ask my friends to go. all in all, we would meet new people thru mutual friends. what im saying is that not everyone will get along, I might not like someone, or someone calls all the shots on what to do. what do you do in this kind of situation?

I have in the past, met people thru friends, and since i dont want to hurt my friendship with my friend, i wont argue with their friend. if i argue, i might loose the friendship, since the friend is in the middle of everything.


I think this applies to folks who are not married, or from 20's to 30's. I do this stuff less and less, as i have less free time as i get older, and i just dont want to deal with BS.

I usually just don't say anything as there's so many other people for me to interact with in that group. But I wouldn't go out of my way to talk to them.

If a small group of us are going to be hanging out and I don't want to talk to them, wont go!

Ahhhhh to be young again and have this type of thing be what I worry about the most. You are correct, as you get older and marry and start a family of your own, life of your own, you will end up with only a few close friends and then you more than likely will not see them all the time. There is no way to predict what will happen on a vacation where there are lots of people and lots of new people..bound to be a few issues but I wouldn't go on vacation looking for the issues to happen. If it were me, I would go on a vacation where there perhaps just 4 of us..all friends and just see where it takes us.
You have so very many years left on this good earth to plan vacations and to live your life as you see fit. Don't jump into the middle of a puddle of GOO over vacation issues, just go and have a great time.
By the way, I am 65 years old, female and I still see friends from when I was 17 years old! You will keep a few special friends as you age, I promise you.
