I've been doing this excessively recently and I really do think I need to stop it.
I try too hard to make online (women) friends see me as something special, someone different, someone who is misunderstood, someone who could make the perfect partner for them and nine out of ten times they're not remotely bothered or interested in anything I've got to say. They may even view me as weird.
I've been told by someone recently that I'm too angry and bitter for them to ever befriend me and although I didn't show it, I was hurt by the comment.
It all goes back to what my parents have told me so many times. "The internet is no good for making real friends". I put that attitude down to old-fashioned values and fear of modern ways, and I wanted to prove them wrong, but everything I encounter just seems to prove them right.
