    What made you smile today?

    Having spent a year in the wilderness (metaphorically and partly literally!), I went to a Meetup Group I hadn't been to for 12 months. And I was remembered, welcomed warmly, and picked up where I left off, making me wonder why I left in the first place. Made me smile to feel accepted and welcomed!

    Loneliness or Chaos

    After living alone and then living with a chaotic (not to mention slovenly, slobbish and slothful) flatmate for the last year, I've learned to appreciate the benefit of living alone. Might be OK with the right chaotic people. Also my last relationship was with someone who wanted to be in touch...

    Feeling trapped in solitude

    There's no negativity there, just facts really!  We need to feel connected to other people, but making those connections is hard, and indeed there are both good and bad aspects to online.  This forum is a good place, dating online for many, can be soul destroying. I suppose the feeling you get...

    What video game are you currently playing ?

    Skyrim, I play for about a week every year, get bored senseless and then revisit a year later. I'll be on Fallout 4 as soon as I can save up for an Xbox One (probably the day my 360 blows up!)

    Can men be friends with women?

    This question assumes that all men and women are heterosexual for a start, when they're not and also ignores the fact that gender, like sexuality, is not a binary opposition but on a spectrum.  And that includes asexuality, as not everyone on the planet is entirely focused on seeing people...

    What Keeps You Going in Life?

    Love, for some reason. Sometimes for myself, I have to drag myself through like I would drag a suffering friend. Sometimes for others. Knowing that even in the smallest way, whether it's by giving someone change or holding a door open or doing a random act of kindness, whether online or in...

    What are you listening to?

    Don't know if I'm supposed to post a link or pic, but am listening to Marilyn Manson's Heaven Upside Down album at the moment. Seems pretty good so far!

    Is anyone planning on hosting a Christmas card thread this year?

    Lucky you, they seem to go up shortly after Easter in the UK - I heard a child singing Jingle Bells in early September :club:  Not been here for a while, made me smile to see your name, and see you're still using your favourite smiley :club:

    Uk Members?

    I used to to do that, I made a fabulous living for a few years, upto 2007. By the end the only work I did was checking my sales stats in the morning before heading out for the day. Then I had some bereavements, the financial crash hit, a few things happened, and eventually everything died, but...

    Meetup: Why does this KEEP happening to me?

    I went to a different meetup last week, it's generally made up of professional middle aged and upwards (though not exclusively) like myself, it was just a group walk but found this much better as I had been to this group before so saw some familiar faces and talked to some new people too. It's...

    Meetup: Why does this KEEP happening to me?

    Good points, but there were so many people, I did ask one person who stood near me on his own but he looked at me funny and said no he was one of the actors, so I felt more anxious asking anyone after that, and did post on the app 30 minutes before the event. I think maybe I'll go back to my...

    Meetup: Why does this KEEP happening to me?

    Ah, actually they said they waited INSIDE the doorway, this was quite a small entrance with dozens of people trailing in - so how did they expect someone who didn't know anyone to know which the meetup people were?! Also it'd help if people in their 60s didn't use pictures of when they were 20...

    Meetup: Why does this KEEP happening to me?

    Thanks for all the supportive replies! I did make my feelings known - maybe a bit too vociferously! The response was basically that they waited outside at 7.10 and everyone else managed to find each other so it was my problem! So I still don't understand what happened maybe they need to learn...
