Hello! My girlfriend and I do not have many friends. Part of us likes this because we have two dogs and that takes a lot of time itself. It's kind of like having kids, but you just can't bring them with anywhere you go! We want to go out and do stuff more, like bowling, going to restaurants, seeing different parts of the city, etc. A few nights ago, we met this awesome couple at this even we were volunteering at. They are really nice and down to earth, and we think/have a pretty good idea that they like being around us too! The next night, we went back to the volunteering event thing to see other bands play and met up with them and a couple of their friends up there. We all had a good time and everything is going great. So here comes the question. Since my girlfriend and I don't have many friends, and the few friends that we do have understand that we like being around them, even if we don't call them or go out with them every week. How do we go about doing that with this new couple? We both like them a lot and want to keep in touch (we exchanged contact info), but how do we go about still being on good terms with them and not doing stuff with them on a weekly basis? It's not that we want to, it's just that we all have busy lives and come on the weekends, we have other obligations such as housekeeping/housework, homework, and our dogs. We are both just really excited about it because we have never done anything like this before and it's nice to have somebody new to hang out with! Thanks!
