Another Lonely Saturday Night...

diligentjosh

It is Saturday night, and I just took a stroll in the rain....just a leisure walk in my flip flops. Turned out to be pretty depressing. Couples line the sidewalks, off to their social functions, and what have you...I sit here in my apartment, wishing that maybe, just maybe, one of those people could be me...Another Saturday night come and gone, another night longing for what I wish could be. Maybe someday....anybody need a friend? Hmm....

That's very sad. Too cold here to walk around in flip flops, but close. I'm baking cookies! They're going into the freezer to be given as gifts. I realize that you probably don't want to hear all this, but maybe you just need someone to talk to.

don't let it get ya down . .life is about what ya make of it. . go out there and make your own happiness . .best of luck man
fake confidence . .because
Confidence is the most important single factor in this game,
and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work.

I'm sorry hon....I came to Barnes & Noble/Starbucks, which is normally either really quiet or full of eye candy. But, tonight it's all couples and Christmas music. The holidays are upon us...

On the bright side, it's kind of funny to listen to some of these awkward first dates. :laugh:

Oh, confidence is never a problem. My social connectability, however, tends to not allow me to express that. Damn that charisma, or lack thereof!

Keep your head up! Maybe hit the gym? Always keeps me going and my mind off things, movie or maybe a good book.

I just said "social connectability"....well damn, no wonder I don't get girls lol....

I feel your pain. I just said the same thing. It's 6:00 and I'm in the bed. No life at all

Stop making excuses and get out and meet someone.

Feel the same way myself sometimes...

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Carl Rogers

my advice is you must be happy being by yourself before you will ever be able to be happy with someone else.

my other advice, chicks hate whiners.

if i have a busy saturday, i don't mind a quiet evening. what are you doing tomorrow ?

Why not do some volunteer work with a charity that helps people over Christmas. Not only will you help other people but it would also put your own life in perspective.

When you see how hard other peoples lives are it makes you grateful for your own. Also you never know who you will meet while doing that kind of work it may just be the way to meet a lady in a situation where your social skills are not being judged.

Judging from your comment re "Social connectability" You obviously have a sense of humour and are able to see the funny side of things that always goes down well with us ladies.

Good luck and I hope you meet someone nice soon :flowerforyou:

I would like to give you a big hug right now. Mostly because I totally understand. The girls and I were out today and discussed that people introduce acquaintances any longer so we don't have significant opportunities to meet people. That being said, I hope you are getting together with the guys for a bit tomorrow. People time has a way of turning these thoughts around.

You can always send me a friend request....

Hey man, first off try not to look at things with such a negative perspective!! You never know how much things can change in a few months or weeks or even days!! You also never know who you're going to meet tomorrow or anywhere down the road!! I'm not sure if you're looking for just more social interactions in general or mostly want a mate but either way keep your head up. It is stupid but I have always liked the expression that you find love when you aren't looking for it.
I used to be incredibly lonely. As in no partner and no friends. My best and basically only friend moved away and I fell into kind of an awkward stage and it is pathetic but I would cry sometimes.. Anyway I was in school and was invited to some study party and I usually never go to things like that but this time for the hell of it I did. To make new friends, I figure if I was always hiding away how could things ever change? So I went and I met someone. Almost 5 years later I am still with him and am so happy I made such a small choice to go to that party. So get out there and even if you don't end up meeting a nice girl doesn't mean you won't snag her some where else or at least have a hell of a good time!!
cheers and good luck to you! keep your chin up

Hehe! Well, there is a difference in having a sense of humor and getting people to laugh. I do not expect the lady of my dreams to come floating down upon request. I understand that I am not putting myself out there. I guess I am just delving in that fact. I am not in a position to enjoy much of a social life right now, as I am about to move (again)... but this time it is to somewhere halfway across the country. I think this is just one of them nights where I yearn for something I do not have in my life...

I feel you brother

There's a lot of things I miss about being single, but those times where six months of loneliness seems to bust over my head like a water balloon and I go from being fine to not; damn I don't miss that.

ynotcycle

I'm in the same boat man. It's hard to meet someone. Especially if you are like me and are a total cigarette nazi. I absolutely cannot stand to be anywhere near smoke.. So that pretty much rules out bars lol. Not that bars are any good for meeting people anyway.

I was talking to one of my very few close friends earlier having the " where can I meet someone!?" discussion. He didn't have any ideas haha. Thanks Mike.. That helped!

At this point, my lack of imagination and aversion to doing stuff alone has lead me to one conclusion.. I need to go back to college. I might have a chance of meeting someone there who has goals and doesn't want to get wasted all the time. It's worth a shot right?

I was at the mall today by myself.. The thought that was going through my head the whole time was: what is wrong with me? am I like quasimoto or something? look at all these people that aren't alone! They look so damn happy! That guy isn't half as good looking as I am.. what gives? Sigh. Then I came home and cooked the one large meal I will allow myself this week, Achar Gosht curry. It was om nom nom.

Someone mentioned Barnes and Noble in an earlier post, I think that's a great Idea, I'm heading there now. Never know, I might have fun.

Cheer up bro

This makes me sad. Feel better!

justgowithit17

i feel you tonight! i usually go out with my friends or at least one friend, but not tonight.
but you should go out anyway! don't you have at least one friend from work or something? it doesn't have to be a girl and can only be one friend; i always have the craziest, funnest times with my best friend. no one else. just us two.
but even if you can't find someone to go out with, don't let that stop you from going out! go somewhere fun and crazy! you can always meet people! or just drive around with the windows door and blasting music
