I'm not even yearning for a relationship. I'm just yearning for someone to hang with. I just asked a female friend to come over to my house after having a few drinks with her, and I got the same "oh, I don't know, I have to work tomorrow" excuse. So...she'd rather go home to sit with her mom than cool-a*s me.
Honestly, people, I have been rejected nearly 100% of the time when I ask people to hang out/have a drink/come over to my house and chill/make dinner for them. Everyone has something to do, or is too tired. Yet everyone says how awesome I am, how "young" or "how cool" I am. So...which is it? Is it all lip service? It really cuts me when I make the effort to ask someone (which is outside my comfort zone) and I get rejected. And these are WOMEN. Not even men. That's a whole 'nother level.
Anyway I don't mean to hijack this thread, sorry. I do agree with WS that these boards are a lifeline and that many of us are drowning. I was at my workplace today and didn't have this board bookmarked, and went to look for it on google, and came across what I will call "a competing message board" by accident, and I looked over it and all I could think was "stop criticizing the people who saved my life."
All of you are my lifelines.
I mean that :-)
