Dear Eric: One of my sisters and I share a mutual friend. My sister knew her from work. When I moved to a different home, my sister’s friend lived on our new street and came over with a gift and introduced herself. Since that point, I had neighborhood brunches to get to know people. From there, my sister’s friend/my neighbor went out to happy hour with our husbands occasionally.
The mutual friend told my sister we all were going out. My sister and friend had never gone out; they’d only exercised together. My sister then texted me immediately and asked if we all could go out.
