I make a concerted effort to talk to new people, to include others when we go out for dinner on Sundays, to invite folks over to our house for dinner and get-togethers, ...but on Sunday nights, when I go out for coffee, its going to be with my closest friends.  Sometimes we add on a couple of newbies, but I need that time with my girlfriends.
We need both, actually. We need to be friendly and inclusive with everyone, and at the same time, we need to make time in our lives for deeper relationships.
