Basically we are all 25 years old and have had boyfriends, great jobs,etc but she has never really had anything. She has never been on a date and spends most of her time in with her family. That's not really a huge problem, but when we are all out together she is just there...she just had no conversation as she does not seem to have anything to talk about. I just feel like i have moved on from the school days and she hasn't. Anyone had any experience with this and if so what did you do to involve them more,etc? Reply to this Question

She could even be gay and not able to tell you. How about you meet her 1:1 sometime instead of always in a group - that way she may feel more at home.

I mean lets be honest, guys suck. Its hard to find trustworthy guys, and nice guys that dont take advantage. Im still in school and have been in a year long relationship, and honestly i dont think boyfriends enhance or detract from who you are. As for the job bit, if she never really had a job, again these are hard times its not that easy getting a job unfortunately. Real friendsip is sticking with someone during bad and hard times. If you think you shouldnt be friends with her then she wasnt really a real friend to you to begin with. Life is hard, and we need people to help us out sometimes.
