"We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight...
...We would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois' law enforcement community who have chosen to join us here at the Place Hotel Ballroom at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show and remember people that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there's still some things that make us all the same...
...You, me, them, everybody..."
"…You know people, when you do find that special somebody, you gotta hold that man, hold that woman, love him, please him, squeeze her, please her, signify your feelings with every gentle caress…because it’s so important to have that special somebody to hold, to kiss, to miss, to squeeze, and please…"
Well it is because of loneliness that I feel that way. Just a few months ago the realization hit me hard that I am 24 and never even had so much as a date in my life (the closest thing for me is the one girl I was friends with that moved on that I talked about earlier). I try my best to hide it in public but I just do not know what to do.
I never knew Churches even did that. Still I don't know if it is really for me.
Don't beat yourself up about it. She sounds like a tease to me.
Also, get over your phone phobia and stop deciding what other people are thinking. You are not a mind reader.
I am sorry that things worked out for you that way. However, you know she was not right for you. You will find the right girl one of these days.
In the meantime, why can't you just go out as friends with someone? Most younger people seem to go out in groups these days. I find it much easier to meet new people if I am with friends. It gives me more confidence.
Darn.
Good. You know, you could also go to your local Barnes and Noble and get a cup of coffee or whatever and hang out. You might meet someone very interesting there.
A lot of the women here my age are taken as well.
humm....what about sports? My hubby and I used to play on a co-ed softball team together. There were several single women in the league.
Do you go to church, Paul? There are lots of nice girls at church. Even if one of them is not the one for you, she might introduce you to the one who is.
"In the meantime, why can't you just go out as friends with someone?"
In college, I would go out sometimes with my 2 buddies to hang out, but I never met any girls. The only girls that were ever around us were their girlfriends. As for nowadays...I don't know. I don't really have anyone to go anywhere with.
I dropped out of church years ago.
Same for me.
Sports...uggh...I'm not exactly what you could call an "athlete." Still, I could provide entertainment for any single women. You know, when the ball hits me on the head, or I trip over my shoelaces.
I am well aware of that threat. But I do not want to spend my life alone either.
I have never gone on a date of any size or shape.
Same here. As I stated the closest was a girl who was a friend and then moved on.
No need to feel sorry. I understand. I really do. Lots of times I feel invisible. I have not dated in over a year. Actually, I have not met anyone who interests me and vice versa. I am still pining over my last tragic romantic experience.
As a result of that experience, I can surely tell you all what NOT to do. :(
Well at least we know what it is like somewhat. Being alone is not fun.
Ouch. You must not really get along with this brenda
