Hello people

Hi,

I am a 33 year old female, I have had friends and am naturally social but a few close friendships fizzled out in the last few years which had been important to me, I got made redundant losing a close group of colleagues a couple of years later, making me feel lonelier than ever.

I've found it hard to meet people my age looking for new friendships, plus in my old job I worked in the evenings hence no time for meetups etc. I miss having mates and a social life, a close friend I can share secrets and stupid jokes with.

I have more of a hit rate with men as I can talk to them easily...but this hasn't worked out well as people think you want to be more than friends...a few years ago I would have been flattered but when you are desperate for friends it makes you feel so sad instead.

I have a new job I really enjoy most of the time, and time in the evening for meetups, I went to one last week which wasn't too painful.

I think the outside world would be surprised because I hide it on the surface, it feels really good to come on here and get it all out.

Hello Bouncer. It's nice to see you check in on the new members page.

Welcome Bouncer! Glad you're enjoying your time here

Hi there. I'm pretty new here as well, so not too sure I could really welcome you. I am the same age as you though, and also trying to make new friends. I don't mind chatting if you would like to, so you can send me a PM or any other sort of message since I have a couple ways to contact me in my profile. I'm not looking for anything other than a friendship, so don't worry about that. I just figured I'm make you an offer to chat if you were interested.

Hi welcome

Hi people, thanks for the welcome
