Eh....I give that a 3/10. You've done much better work than that one. Not a lot of effort there.
I hold out hope that when we have our house, we'll become besties with our neighbors. I'm sure kids would change things too. I've lived in this building for four years and tonight was the first time I'd been upstairs. Granted that's just because I was never curious about it, but an apartment without any community type area (pool, gym, etc.) is not conducive to meeting others.
Trying at work but it seems like many of them went to school together/grew up locally so that's a hard group to break into. And the new younger people have been given cube spots next to the other young people so they are easily folded in. Until recently, I sat far from the young people and had very few casual interactions with them. Add in that both DH and I are are pretty introverted and homebodies.....bleh. Plus he's perfectly content without many friends. I am too....most of the time. But sometimes it's like oooooo look at those girls having a wine night, how do I do that? It's getting better than it was though. We get invited to a couple things regularly now. Just seems like a slow and painful process. It's better when you are 6 and say "are you my friend? now we are friends!"
Could only do 80 push ups in a row tonight. Back to another 2 weeks of training to try to reach 100 in a row.
Does he count his YouTube subscribers as friends?
Work hasn't really been a place for me to be able to do it. As a Multi unit manager, the only people you work closely with is your staff, no colleagues. And you don't want to make friends with your staff. That will end up poorly.
I don't go to church, so can't there. And I work 70 hours a week, so I don't get a lot of time for recreational activities. I've personally met a few of the Hawaii people at games from the Hawaii sports board I visit, but they're all either 20 or 50. Nice guys, but not my age range.
So I feel ya. I'm a bit of a loner, but it's nice to have people when you actually feel like hanging out with people.
Just had an email from some friends - looks like I'm not going to have a pity party solo game watch tomorrow after all. PapaLew won't get home until about halftime...but some friends without cable just called to see if I'd be watching.
Well, DUH! So yay for me - I'll have someone there if I suddenly need an intervention.

that right there is the exact problem I have. I'm hoping it will be like college though. The first couple years I felt like I was on the outside looking in. Jr and Sr. year I got really involved in my club (yes, I'm trying to get involved at work too, boss was even like "you are doing so nicely at leadershippy stuff in the company") and I really felt in my element. Apparently in the real world that progression moves slower, haha.
Try re-entering the dating pool at 37, with two teenage boys in tow. Trust me...I KNOW it isn't easy.
You don't want to go there. It's not pretty when the rotator cuffs hit their late 40's and just go BOOM!

First the arms...then the legs...
It probably didn't help you were a nerd as a freshman. Also, I really hope your boss actually said "leadershippy stuff".

It's a jungle enough as a 31 year old with no kids.
wink:
not quite, but close enough. I was a nerd.
what I didn't tell my boss is that most of those things are activities that give out points. Just like I get for working out. Then I can get Target gift cards. I like Target gift cards.
DH is making lasagna. At 9pm. Cause he procrastinated.
