After many (~7) years without a serious relationship, I'm getting comfortable being in one again with a great guy. So we're socializing with each others friends and getting invited to a lot of events, and it's been great.
Last weekend, we went to a cookout of about 16-18 guys or so, and I made the observation that the only guys there were in relationships. There were no singles.
My boyfriend then told me about one of the hosts who had previously commented to his partner about only wanting to socialize with other couples. I was a little offended about this exclusionary preference. What kind of thinking is this? I guess I want to make sure that I don't become like that. Any others notice this happening with friends/acquaintances?
