That's funny...I'm still friends with most of my best friends from college, and we tend NOT to reminisce about old days. Perhaps it's because we all have such great things going on in our current lives...such things as pursuing careers, traveling, and doing the things upwardly mobile twenty-somethings do.
I would also advise against depending on socializing as couples--it doesn't always last. Most of the couples my parents (mid 50s, married for just under 30 years) used to hang out with are divorced. As a result, most of my parents' friends are widowed or divorced--they (gasp) like eachother because of shared interests, not the fact that they're married!
After all, wouldn't you want to socialize and make friends based on real life interests?
