    Phone number

    Here I go again... thanks to office email I've managed to get someone's phone number, just as a mate. Unlike some people she actually seems to answer her messages. Last night I sent her a text so she had my number and we ended up having a conversation for a while. I've kind of asked this before...

    Colleagues

    Before I had this job I hoped that when I got one I would eventually become friends with some of the people where I ended up working. Well now I get on with them fine, but that's where it ends. I've been told by someone that when you work with them for five days a week and get on then you can...

    Out in the town

    Hello again. Last Sunday I somehow get myself to drive into the fairly big town which is about half an hour from where I live. Other than learning that I absolutely love sat nav, I had a quick wander around for two lots of about 15 minutes with a break in my car in between. I was sweating when...

    What is it about me

    ...that stops people wanting to spend time with me? Now I've got pretty comfortable with the people I work with, I'm starting to join in a bit more. I still don't talk that much but way more than I did before. I get on with them okay. They don't seem to hate me or be, well, scared of me. It...

    How to stay optimistic?

    What do you do when your hope is fading and you have pretty much nothing to show for everything you've tried?

    Letting people in

    Tonight someone invited me out for a drink with their friends on Jan 1st. They said that it will either be where they live or the smallish town that I live in. I could feel the thought of doing that where I live draining my whole body when they said it. I'm so scared that somebody will see me...

    Getting a life from nothing...

    If anyone has done it, how did you get there? I've ended up at the pub with people I work with a few times now. Doesn't sound like much when I write it, but anyway, other than getting a bit more used to being in a pub, it seems to be pointless. Everyone talks for a while then leaves. I can't see...

    Groups

    Just happened to be looking at someone's photos on Facebook of her traveling. Seems that she's one of those people who's been everywhere and she's only a year or so older than me. I notice that her sister went with her to all if not most of these places. Presuming that the girl I'm talking...

    Anyone near B'mouth/Salisbury/Ringwood?

    I admit that I am looking for a lady to chat to and hoping that one day it might go further. I'm a 21 year old male BTW. :)

    Not fitting in

    I was thinking about why I can't make friends, and then that it helps a lot to have something in common. I would guess that the ideal place to make friends should be some kind of club or class because it's something that you both like doing in your spare time. It's instant common ground. It...

    scared of going loopy

    i answered the phone at work today. it says who it is and i know them so i answered it for someone who wasn't there. scary just before i picked it up, but then no problem. it was nothing like a social call and it was no use at all. i have no real friends i don't know if i even want friends and...

    Social conventions and all that

    I've somehow ended up with the numbers of some (ie. 3/4) of the people who I work with. But they're all female and are all attached. So if I, say, wanted to go and see a film, I still have literally no friends that I can ask to join me. Or can I? Common sense seems to say 'no' but what is going...

    Emailing a new person

    Hi :) I've started talking to a girl who I've never met via email. I don't know if she's even looking for anyone. It's probably a daft question, but what could I do to make it more interesting? As I don't really have a life or much experience with conversations I don't know what to add to it...

    Asked somebody out (don't get excited)

    Edit: I don't know what the point of posting this is. It's hardly positive. I guess I just need to let it out if that's okay :/ She's been where I work for a couple of months. She's occasionally been joining our department for training, so we've seen each other more than once, talked a tiny...

    Do groups do it for you?

    So I never get a chance to have a meaningful conversation with someone. What I do get a chance to do occasionally is to join some of the people I work with when they go out for a smoke. Which is all nice for a few seconds until I end up just standing there listening to them talking. And then...

    Couldn't talk to a new person

    I think I said before that we currently have temps starting where I work and they're the same kind of age as me, male and female. For a small part of the day they are sometimes ending up sat next to me alone (but doing something) while they're being trained. They're always on their own, it's...

    Meeting people again

    Trying to be positive again... On Friday at 5pm onwards the pub was fairly busy and everyone was in their groups. I can't see how I'd ever get around that. I'm thinking that maybe I should pop round for a quick drink in my lunch hour. When I've been there at that kind of time it's always been...

    Where to go on Friday night

    Okay, so, (very) hypothetically and trying to think positively for five minutes... Friday and the weekend is coming around again. Where should I go to, well, meet girls/a girl? Sorry if that sounds a bit nasty. I mean it in a nice way, I'm not talking about a one night stand or anything. A pub...

    Also venting

    If it's this hard to organise something then I'm surprised that anyone goes out at all. I've been trying to go out with this girl as a friend for weeks. It's not one sided, she says she wants to get together with me and "we so need to catch up" after we stopped working together a while ago...
