I really wanted to get together with one of my friends last weekend. I knew it wouldn't happen until early afternoon so I called her around 3. She didn't get home until after 8:30 when I got an email from her. I think she totally forgot about it and was going out to the lake the next day. I said something about our weekend plans and she never said boo about it. I was hoping it would work out for this weekend but she tells me she is going out of town over the weekend. Great...this weekend is going to be a repeat of last weekend. I don't have many other friends that I do things with..i need single friends. The only things I'm looking forward to this weekend are going to church and being able to move back home after a very long 12 days of pet sitting for my parents. I hate that I live so far away from my aunt and cousins. I am in SC, they are in Ohio.

" enjoy getting back into your own home this weekend...take some time to yourself to do things like tend the laundry or garden if you have one....see if any of your neighbors missed seeing you regularly by mentioning you had been away had they seen anything unusual around the place when you see them it will give you an idea if they have an eye out to protect you and that is always nice to know and the conversation may be simple nope but it opens doorway to talking to neighbors again around your home....I do not know if you live in a house or a apt complex or even in a flat of few houses grouped together but it is important to take time to talk to neighbors....hugs bill "

" have you ever tried www.meetup.com? I am a very shy, introverted person, but I've had some very good times at the meetup things I've forced myself to go to. And I've met some very good friends, too. Look into it. If you're like me, it ain't easy, but everyone there will be pretty much in the same position as you and some are just so nice that you will feel like you've always been their friend! Honest. "

" I agree with all that's been said. A lot of times the other person may be thinking like you and just give up. Take a chance an see what happens. I've found most people to be ok and actually thankful I made the first move. If it doesn't work, big deal .... on to the next one! Good Luck! "

" I am glad to be meeting with my spiritual director this morning. Will probably go find some lunch by myself after that. Tired of eating alone! :( After this appt, I'd just as soon fast forward to Sunday morning. I do look forward to church, I am going to be the greeter again. Then my parents, provided they get all their flights back to Charleston, will be home Sunday night. "
