Op same boat. I don't get it shes awesome but just can't seem to make friends. Super hard because I can't hang out with mine without making her feel bad.

Same. Except mine doesn't seem to really care. Sucks, because one of the things I enjoy about dating someone is the expanded social circle.

Introduce her to people you know. Double date with your friends. Engage in more group activities.

Try Bumble BFF! Ive noticed its for people trying to make friends (some just moved to a new city, new job, etc)... The description can help you find out if you have similar interests. This helps if she's not into making friends out of the blue (gym, etc).

If she is really pretty, other girls are intimidated. The most gorgeous women are often the most lonely

I'm the same way. I think it's because I work long hours and the friends I have are in more traditional roles (teachers) so they don't always understand when I can't hang out -- or what I even do.

I've been working on finding new friends in specific places I spend time at lately -- like new workout buddies at the gym or new volunteer friends at nonprofits I commit time to.

I also don't always care; but as you get older it's nice to have people around that share things you like, understand what you do, or can afford trips you can afford.

EY1 -- A) So your advice is that she should...be less pretty?
B) Please stop spouting that "girls are intimidated by gorgeous women" bullshit; it simply isn't true.

Sorry you don't appreciate facts

Is there anything they can do to be more approachable?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
