The thing about Lois is that all her most impotant friends are a step ahead. And while she can't imagine doing the next step with anyone but Toby she's not totally sure she want to take it just yet. But Toby does and she'd rather go at a quicker pace then not stay in time with him.
Her friends suggest it's weird that he's leading it. Feel like their fellas needed to get something out of their system before they agreed to settle.
One of the things about Lois is she's a great friend. Listens, picks people up when they're down. Is truly warm. And one of the people she's devoting time to taking care of is someone whose husband has been banging someone. And she feels like she rushed him into settling. He'd been a late bloomer and then she'd come along and he hadn't got it out of his system.
That sparks something for Lois but the problem is she's generally a listener not a listened. Toby's the person who listens to her. And she can't talk to Toby about it so she doesn't run it past anyone just let's it make her go a bit demented.
So the people she parties with are not quite her best friends. They're work people. Younger than she is. Funner than her other friends. And she doesn't feel they see her as a particularly older (she's right although there is a little bit of admiration for how sorted her life seems to be, she's got the whole package but is still able to have fun). But every now and then she feels the gap.
So they should be people she feels she can tag along with on a night out and crucially people she would like to set Mark up with, but they're not bosom buddies. So they may sort of see what's going on but are not in a position to tell her.
