So I made a new friend last week. He lives in a city a half hour away, and in turns I will be relocating to the city where I already have 2 friends. The only thing is this new friend is married, so would it be worth my time to invest in a relationship? If people are married, then do they still invest time in friendships?
For instance right now, I have 4 single friends. One of those 4 is moving, and one I don't see as much because he works over 40 hrs a week and has college courses on top of that.
So this weekend I plan to hang with 3 of my friends. One Friday, one Saturday, and one Sunday. So Thursday or Friday I was going to see if my new friend wanted to go hiking. And this new friend is more like a mentor, but he is 22 but like has been through my struggles and is where I want to be after college.
Any advice is appreciated. Is it too soon to enter this friendship and is it worth investing the time? The guy is making an effort though to be a good mentor. And we also attend the same church sometimes.

Make friends with the wife too. Just don't be a homewrecker.
Also, moving to a place a half hour away doesn't really seem like much of a move... A lot of my friends that I see regularly live further than 30 minutes away

How do I make friends with the wife? Invite her to a hike too? But wouldnt that make me a third wheel too then?
And what is homewrecking?
And yeah 30 min is not much of a move ha ha. I could still keep in touch with my friends back in my hometown.
Huh? Where does it say anywhere that the OP is a female? The only gender I picked up on is that the new friend is a male. I read the question being as would married people invest time in a friendship if they're married. I'm not reading into the OP is a female and the new friend is a male.

Who the heck looks at "investing time into a friendship" with the same sex..
The OP is either gay or a teenage girl moving with her parents

I don't make it a habit of investing time to be friends with men. I don't think my husband would appreciate that. If someone is looking for friendship, guidance and a mentor, I would look for the same sex, as there would be more things in common.
Right. This guy is grooming you to be his new "friend"...just saying.
