There are a few guys here that I ride with or we meet at work or the bike shop and talk riding, and I occasionally have a couple beers with a former colleague, but mostly it's just Wifey and me. And that's the way I like it.
Similar. I work for the VA and keep in touch with a few I knew from tours. In total I would say I have six really good mates and don't really have capacity to take on more. It sounds a bit selfish when someone is looking for a beer buddy but I have mine and it's like a private group. Sometimes even sounds stupid hearing myself say it... happy in my little circle.
