You said all you want is a hug. Well OK then. I'm in the UK, in Kent, and I'll meet you for a hug and a talk. I think it's the talk you really need. I'm straight, so no worries about judging how you look or wanting anything sexual for you. I'm just that part of the universe saying 'OK, sure'...

Think about it from her point of view. Her client talks about her son a lot, how wonderful and single he is. And sometimes he is there when he doesn't live there, and when she has booked an appointment to do her nails. A safe strategy might be to rescue her subtly when your mum starts going on...

Hold on. Your 20s is when things get better. You get away from all the school drama, and the pain of that goes with the years. You start to get real money for the first time. But you don't have real bills yet. You have people from school and new people from work. You have the energy to cease the...

It was by Dale Carnegie. I just found my copy to get the first name. I guess maybe I should read it again because I struggle too. It seems like your 20s is the decade in which to cement your friendships and relationship for life, and if you waste them like I did you have missed the last bus. I...

I started a thread under Video Games that might be useful here too. There's a GPS game you play on your phone called Ingress. I've seen a few people shed impressive amounts of weight from the amount of walking they do through the game. Added to that, there's a very social element to the game and...

OK now I'm curious. What city only has 3 portals?! I want to a little town today with only single carriage way access, but it does have a train station, and it had 34 portals

It takes the portal monkeys a long time to get to them so you have a wait. But it does encourage you to go to other places, and you are automatically visiting the interesting stuff by playing the game.

Unless you are very very rural, there will be portals and players near you. If there's not much in the way of portals you can submit anything you think is interesting. I recommend you do as the achievement for that take fricking ages! So get submitting before someone else does. There's an in...

It's funny how your best friend can say things that seem like they don't know you or support you every now and then. My own short tale in that arena happened a few weeks ago when I was saying what I was looking for in a girl. My only restriction is a non-smoker, and preferably with big boobs :)...

I just spent all of yesterday with one of the guys walking round London playing. Join the Enlightened. We have cake

My favourite: Significant other of my best friend : "When are you going to get a girlfriend so you can come with us to Ibiza?" Me : "You mean I'm not invited if I'm single?"

I'm glad you like it. Even as a L1 you can link, field, hack rare stuff, so you are always "helpful". You'll get to a point where all you want is Level 8 kit, and for that 8 Level 8 players need to come together and that's where the social side really comes in. Like I say, it's helped me meet...

Wow, thanks everyone. I had a bad day, so it was nice to see this. CJ - The recognition is almost non-existent, though I don't think it's just the guys. I think people who settle down with a family don't realise how cut off those who didn't become. I'm atheist, but not sure there's much locally...

Oh sorry, I didn't know. The iPhone version is very new. If you have a tablet you can play on that and connect to your phone for data. It's actually a good way to split the battery drain.

I've tried a lot of things the last few years to meet people and make friends. I've pushed myself into uncomfortable situations on the theory that to get different results you have to have a different input. The only thing that has worked and that I've enjoyed has been Ingress. What is it...
