I failed to focus on male friendshps,


Fix that. Yeah I know how silly that sounds, it's not like you can go to the store and pick out a friend, however having a male friend...is vital.

Find a club, hiking or fishing or something, craigslist is great for social groups in your area.

H's with MLC W's,


You mean all the guys here in MLC land?

Put no faith in the steps. They do not follow A,B,C,D.
Instead they can go: B,C,A,B,D,A,C,D,B,A...
Or: A,C,A,D,B...

It takes awhile...yes it does. Seems like you have some time, who knows what will happen at the end of those 8 months?
