Alpha Step At A Time #5

[alpha99]

I went to the local meetup pub quiz tonight. There were 10 people. They all seemed nice people, and a good mix of ages. They do a lot of things in the local area. I am definitely going to get into socialising in their group a lot more - quizzes, cinema trips, theatre trips, meals, walks, comedy night outs etc. The Italian meetup group is great but it's once a month. With the local social group I could be out every other night or so. There was an attractive girl there about my age. She chatted to me a bit. She has emailed since I've got home to say it was nice seeing you. That seems to be a common meetup thing so not reading much into it. It's better than a kick in the pants though. It just shows that there are plenty more fish in the sea should it one day come to that.
GAL certainly makes it easier to detach. Through circumstance I probably won't see W until a week on Saturday. In that time I plan to be out 2-3 more times making new friends. On reflection I do miss her but I plan to be so busy that I don't have time to dwell on that.

Tonight I did something I would never have dreamt of doing - turning up to an event alone and meeting new people. I feel proud of myself. Whatever happens sitch wise, this is how I want to live my life from now on...
