BCG...

I agree with Lilith.. you need to go at your own pace.

I can relate tho.. being the ONLY single person in the small group that I socialize with (7 couples and myself).. altho they in NO WAY purposely place pressure on me.. it is there.. Being the odd man out is often difficult for me.. and they do not understand.. it is just something that I toughen thru..

You and I are different in that you DON'T want that serious relationship... so I imagine that the "odd man out" syndrome doesn't apply to you.. for that you are fortunate. Just continue at your own pace and make time for these friends when you can... and most of all be understanding that now that they are in a relationship they may have other priorities and time restrictions.
