my one friend said to get ahold of him, but i don’t feel like continuing the relationship much, because we only see each other a couple times of year, he is married and works alot, it just seems like it is a lot of effort, for little benefit, just to say i have a friend or something. usually when we get together we grab a meal, or go kayaking or hiking or something, we no longer go for a drink or anything, he has turned into this ultra serious career oriented guy, not the guy i used to room with in my 20’s. plus he has lots of friends, so i don’t think he will miss me much, im sure we will run into each other around town sometimes since we both live in the same small town, but i don’t think im gonna contact him.
anyways i was just thinking of joining a gym and meeting people there. im not really looking for friends to hang out with, i think just getting out of my house and having a simple conversation in town is all i really need.
my dad just spent a week with my brother, they were watching a college football game of my brothers alma mater and my dad said during the game he got 32 texts from friends talking about the game lol. he is opposite of me i guess.
Yeah, it can be very therapeutic just to go somewhere where there are other people. Sometimes I go to a cafe or diner, order a meal and then do my crosswords for a while. It’s nice to just be in a social setting where people are chatting around me. It takes away the loneliness somehow.
You shouldn’t be shy about contacting anyone if you want to. The only way to find out if he’s interested in hanging with you is to ask. If he says no then you are status quo, so there’s not really anything to lose.
