I don't see why a partner should care.

The less friends you have means the more time you have to spend with your partner

This is what I'm looking for actually. I really don't like to go out with other people, but I do want to have a relationship with someone that I'm totally head over for. I miss the cuddling & companionship.

When it comes to our social lives, my partner and I are quite opposite. He's very VERY social. He always has mates to hang out with, mates to call, and he can easily make friends with new people.
Me on the other hand still has some shyness in me, and as much as I love getting to know new people I find it hard to simply figure out what to say to them. I'm not great with the chit chatter, and I think I may be lacking some "girly factor" that I'm "supposed" to have?? I have only a couple of friends, two from childhood and one ex co-worker, though for different reasons I don't get to see them often at all.
When my partner goes for a night out with his mates while I have nothing to do, it bites big time. At the same time I'm so happy for him, cos I can only imagine how great it must be to be able to do that. I know how great it is to go for a night out with just 1 friend, so going out with a group of friends, well it can't suck can it..
I know that my partner would be very happy for me if I got some friends that I could spend time with face to face. It's my sadness about feeling lonely that gets to him, the times when I will have one of my rants over the phone to him...

Thanks for your insight Oceanmist23!!

I just worry that the reverse of your situation (shy male, social butterfly female) would not work as well.

Hmm well why not? To be honest I think that might work even better if the girl is very affectionate and understanding. The most important thing is that you both truly love, support and trust each other. If either of you are lacking in those areas it most likely won't work. I think the social person in the relationship has to find a balance as well. You know, be able to say to his/her mates that they're spending the evening with their partner, and the mates being mature enough to understand that and support it.
A social butterfly girl, who truly loves you, will do her best to find that balance.

And remember, it can take many relationships to find that girl. But when you do, it's so worth it

I want to find someone to share my life with!!

You can feel lonely no matter who you are. Even if your marred and have a 100 friends and 10 kids you still can feel lonely.

Plus loketron, You don't have to feel lonely to have to come here. That's just how most fined this place. Even if ppl are not lonely but just wont to chat to ppl I would hope they still would feel free to come here

Also Leef'c is aka sixteen He had a name change
