What do you mean? When the time is right i guess?

If you mean how often, well that depends. Weekly / bi-weekly / monthly it really just how it goes.

Just because we dont meet up we dont just suddenly become strangers.

It was more of a joke comment about your response. OP says he doesn't have time to spend with (more) friends and your response is to just spend more time with them.

Although I know that's not quite what you meant, I'm pointing it out in a deadpan way as to highlight the absurdity.

I wish I would see any of my friends monthly. I haven't seen my best friend in like 4 months or so.

Weekly meetups with 3+ friends, that's something you can do before you have a wife, kids and a job.

10 years ago, I had a really large social circle, with a group of ~15 people who met 1-4x per week. That was all fine and easy when the only commitment was university and part-time jobbing. But with a full-time job and kids, all that just disappears.

A week only has 168h. With work, sleep and family, there's not a lot left.

Wait for it ;) It's gonna get you like anyone else.

Except if you stay childless and then you are the rando with too much time while everyone else you know just disappears into sleep-deprivation-induced zombie mode.
