Nah... I like you guys a lot better. You're pretty well-behaved, don't pee and poop all over the place, I can shut you up any time I want to and don't have to board ya if I'm out of town. ALL of that for a low cost of about $45/month! Can't beat it!
New user here! im in slightly a different situation. Ive been with my girlfriend for three years, she recently informed me that she would like to travel, so shes going to australia to work for 4 months this summer.
Now this is a girl that i am extremeely close to, spend 3-4 nights a week with her and never get bored. She leaves in mid april and im completely lost. I know for a fact im going to get lonely.
Im absoulutely dreadding the thought of it that im becoming quite insecure about it all.. Ive started thinking "will she want to come back to me?" "will she not fall out of love from me in 4 months?".
Its driving me crazy and i have no idea what to do!
Life is what you make it. If you wait for someone to come along and make you happy, you will be waiting for a long time. Can you have a conversation with the guy behind you in the grocery check out line? My wife is amazed that I can start a conversation with just about anybody, anywhere. No one has ever told me to mind my own business or give the the cold shoulder. We have developed friendships with many people we have met in our favorite restaurant, or stores. Just talk to someone, they arn't going to bite. Compliment them on something they are wearing, or their hairstyle. Look for things you can talk about. Ok, I understand this may not be your style, but you are going to have to change style and become more outgoing.
cpg35223 makes some great points.
Considering your handle SteelersFan - I'm betting you are a sports fan? Find a hang out - a sport bar would be perfect. I know, I know, ... suggesting a bar is a "bad" thing. However, with a sports bar people have a common interest - sports. Don't drink too much - but chat and talk with people - you will meet friends.
I've never done a meetup group - but I know of many people who have. Meetup has all types of groups - give it a shot.
You will not increase your social circle with a TV - not even a computer.
Get out there!
Best wishes.
This is your opportunity to do lots of things and try different experieinces. Get out there and go. You are young and you have no obligations. You do nto need as much slepp as us old folk do. Join everything that you can. Try dance lessons, diving, charity work, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, shooting, skiing, sky diving, waterskiing, . . . . you name it get out there and do it. You will nto have much opportunity later on becuase you will have obligations and you will have to pay for more people. Travel, climb fly jump do it all now while you are free and unfettered and while you cna still sleep in a train or bus station withthe bums and call it fun.

Agree but disagree. Find a couple of things and get "into" doing them. Instead of being a jack of all trades, be a master of one or two.
This is an old thread, and the OP is long gone, but nonetheless:
- Join a club
- Spend time with family
