I thought I'd share a failure with the forum that I hope could be a help for those guys trying to fight loneliness. So I made a new years resolution that this would be the year that I would get a girlfriend. For the past few years, I really just avoided the idea of having one mainly because I...

Well I believe talking is a game that we all need to play if we really want to get our way in life. Not only does it allow us to get our way, talking is a tool that helps us discover who we are unconsciously. How many times have you said something during a rant that helped you figure out how...

Friendships are a two-way street that constantly need to be maintained. Just like a friend should keep in touch, you also should do the same. As long as you tried to keep the friendship alive, then you were the better person. That's my take. Memories are a great way to rekindle or even...

It use to hurt me alot to see pda when walking around the city, like seeing not just beautiful couples together but also the geeky girl with the geeky guy or just couples who seemed to match each other. Kinda made me jealous. Now I just accept being single and enjoy the freedom of doing...

Thanks for the advice and encouragement guys. I'll be sure to at least give a call. I just wish it didn't crush my spirits last night. There were plenty of other ladies out, I got caught up. To those guys who can take a rejection, brush their shoulders off and try again with someone else...

i've read somewhere that a simple way to find out if a girl is interested is the direction that her eyes go after making eye contact. down would indicate shyness and probable interest, while a side glance would be less probable and be a "maybe' while a upward roll would be a definite no. i...

/begin rant bleh. made another mistake again tonight which brought me the subtle rejection. it could have been the friend who cock blocked me, but either way i did have a good connection with the girl i was talking with. despite getting the number, i just hate subtle rejection. after...

Sophia I totally agree with your first post. This is a loneliness forum so I can't expect a change in this theme anytime soon, but just like your quoted ethics book says, its really easy to generalize and stereotype people in a negative way. Since people who are in a lonely state tend to be...

it just seems that ur frustrated. learn to build up some confidence in yourself to battle these negative assumptions that can easily be built up over time. i'll tell u why those girls have a bitchy look on their face. first you just gotta picture yourself in their shoes... pretty girls get...

CNN's Elizabeth Landau did an article about loneliness titled, "Loneliness Spreads in Social Networks" http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/12/04/loneliness.social.network/ Basically the article stated that loneliness is a contagious condition that can affect not only yourself, but those around you...

"You've gotta hope that there's someone for you, as strange as you are... Who can cope with the things that you do, without trying so hard...." I just found this song yesterday, and I thought I'd share it... "Here We Go" by Jon Brion I'll be pretty forward and say that I will begin to lower...

You can add me if you like. I never usually IM someone initially, but I always respond. I just have a listener's mentality, if you dont mind that then it'll work. "This Is Jaymes"

I was rejected during Halloween, but that was because I was being too much of a jerk. At least it teaches me where to draw the line. I was trying to hit on this girl in a police officer outfit, and made a joke about her hand cuffs. The conversation went on for a couple more minutes talking...

I get FB anxieties as well. Maybe not the same way, but whenever I send msgs and comments. I have this negative cloud over my head when I don't get a response back or an immediate response, but experience has taught me to shake those thoughts out and have patience with people. Its similar to...

It would have to be to have love and lost for me, especially the lost part. It would hurt too much to have love and still have in front of your face. Like being friends after a deep relationship, I dont think you could just sidestep all those deep emotions and feelings a person once had...

Here's the link: http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2009/11/some-counterintuitive-facts-about-loneliness.html I thought the article has a lot of truth in it. We should be aware of these things so we can fight loneliness and become happier people =)

taking the path less traveled does have its disadvantages as less people will be on that path. it doesn't mean you're alone though, it just means you got look harder to find those companions with similar interests! clubs are a good way to narrow your search, or even some college courses of...

i know the feeling buddy. im there with you, but may i suggest not trying to go against the urges completely. just dont make them a giant priority. i know its frustrating when girls play those mind games and lead you on, but girls get hit on constantly by 'alpha-males' and the Quagmires out...
