I only did the maid of honor once and that was more than enough for me. So in that respect, your friend is doing you a favor.
I think Capt Noonie's idea is pretty good. I tend to gravitate towards other ppl with dogs. In my last neighborhood, I made "friends" while walking Magnus/Zoey. Started out with just saying hi but after a while, strike up conversations. Even at outdoor shopping plazas. While walking around, all sorts of ppl come up wanting to say hi and sometimes, we share pictures/stories. LOL
