Married Female Seeking Same

I have always been a lover of women. Not in the literal sense mind you, I just enjoy the company of women. I have some fabulous female friends. I really do. We have seen each other through broken hearts, the ups and downs of our respective careers, marriages, pregnancies, child rearing, illnesses, and everything else in between. These gals live in my heart for now and always. Unfortunately, most of them live hundreds and hundreds of miles away with an exception or two who do live nearby.

Recently, I have made a conscious effort to make some new gal pals that live closer to me. A gal that I can call up at anytime to say whatever is on my mind, that can meet me for coffee without advance planning, or provide moral support when those skinny jeans just ain't working. A gal that can lend her ear, her shoulder, and her own unique expertise to whatever is going on in my life, and I will do the same. Yep, I am a married female seeking other married females for fun, laughter, tears, and the occasional girl's night out.

Problem is finding a new BFF is a lot like finding a new significant other. Not every gal you meet is going to be a good match. You must have chemistry with your potential BFF! Without it, doesn't matter how much you have in common, the friendship is going nowhere. Just like dating. And, just like when I was dating, this is where I am floundering. I know quite a few women in my community but haven't yet been able to really connect with someone special. Oh, I have a few I am hopeful about, however, thus far, we are just on the fringes of a real girlfriend bond. I suppose it gets tougher to find just the right girl when you get older. Most women I know have few precious moments to themselves. It is harder to be as carefree as we once were in our 20's and 30's. To be fair, we aren't just managing our life, but the schedules of a whole household of people. A one time potential BFF made it clear to me early on in our "dating" that she had no time for a BFF but was happy to be "just friends" with me. Felt a lot like it did when my twenty-something boyfriend said he wasn't ready to be in a relationship. And, to think I thought my "dating" days were behind me after I met Honey. Oy. On a positive note, one gal I've had my eye on for some time invited me to girl's weekend to celebrate her 40th birthday! Yippee! She must really like me! I'll keep you posted.
