I too came on this site because I feel soooo lonely and yes, it is disheartening when people don't reply to messages. I feel as if life is passing me by and don't have any real friends nearby, just acquaintances. I would so like to have someone to chat to, meet up with and just have a bit of a laugh. My home life isn't good, relationship isn't good, but, on the bright side I do have four lovely sons, three grown up and away from home now, but they do keep me going. To make matters worse, I walked out of my new job last week as it was such a nightmare - and now trying desperately to find something else. Still, I suppose I've got my dog to talk to...!!

Hi Callie ... I'm with you its exactly why I joined this forum...... because I have NO friends ...a few aquaintances who I have tried to be a friend with but they aren't interested ..... not because I want MORE friends
Crossing my fingers for you

Have you found any friends yet? It doesn't make you feel good to actually admit that you don't have friends does it? Makes you feel like you're either doing something wrong or not interesting enough - which makes you feel pretty bad.

Just how long do you cling to the hope that someone will reply to you ?
I've been here around 3 years and in all that time there has has only been one lady write first to me and she wasn't in my area ......... from the ladies I have sent messages to most have either read and NOT replied or never even read them .... like the last 3 sent ! |

It is strange feels a bit clicky to me not sure I will bother for much longer. Flogging a dead horse springs to mind. How about us three chatting to each other that way we know where we stand?

Hi Jaine
 Hows the weather in your part of yorkshire ? Sunny here today  I struggle to understand why people 'register' and then don't come back or just don't answer ?? Have you ever counted how many are from Swindon?  I think they have a recruitment officer there You not had much luck either ? Love to chat anytime

Hi funny since my post I have 3 nice responses so that's been unexpected. The weathers been dry but cold here but compared to the last two years it's been great. I have not looked too deeply into who is where etc I have been more drawn to some people than others. Not too bothered if they don't live too near me as living in Scarborough you get used to living off the beaten track. Hope you have a good weekend and look forward to our next catch up

Don't dwell move on and look for someone else to contact friendship comes from places/people you least expect. If they contact you eventually you don't have to respond straight away give yourself time. Will message again soon ttfn

Your not alone in feeling alone....I live in the Cornwall/Devon border area which although is a very beautiful part of the country is also a very lonely one...I have virtually given up on here too.

I honestly feel it is a sign of the times and just how much we have been conditioned, no one really trusts others anymore, our door isn't open to others the same as it was.
All due to the media pumping fear into us from right left and centre. As for thinking others having more fun, you are seeing 2seconds of someones life. Look within for your happiness. I do agree it's getting harder to socialise and it's frustating. Keep the love flowing and reaching out to others.What's the alternative. |

you all may disagree with this, what I am about to say but gonna say it anyway.
apparently, Geminis have been in a social abyss for some time but from now and some considerable time we are entering a period of auspiciousness and social happiness, which will emanate and attract friends and, dare I say it, lovers.........! if this be true then BRING IT ON! I cant welcome it enough. and will share it with all you other lovely people. X |

The rules still apply - keep on trying, make sure you are "out there", don't beat yourself up, don't beat the others up either, keep on joining anything you can possibly join and if you're single, remember there are billions of dating sites so you might meet a friend of the opposite sex even if you don't have a romance.
Don't give up! Some of you have just made some positive-looking contacts on here and even if you don't live in the same area there is always potential for building up those friendships. Keep trying and good luck! |

DO NOT NEED HUMAN FRIENDSHIPS, YOU BUY THAT WITH PINT OF BEER, WOULD RATHER A BAG OF OATS, ANYONE WITH A TOOTHBRUSH AND A BUCKET OF WATER.
