I know it is usually crazy when we see each other but thats how it is with my kids. I am looking forward to dinner and hockey with you guys in a few weeks. You know we can talk as friends anytime and it doesn't have to make it's way into the family conversations. We can talk about anything!!!!!organize-n-mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048157593398014296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509876753854271521.post-20784321688769233412009-03-13T11:27:00.000-06:002009-03-13T11:27:00.000-06:00I think I know just what you mean. I came to a re...I think I know just what you mean. I came to a realization a month or so ago that I don't have any close girlfriends. There are lots of people the DH and I spend time with (mostly his older bachelor friends) so it looks like I have plenty of friends because I'm often around people. And they've totally accepted me and are very kind to me and consider me a friend. And there are a few who have wives and we're friends in theory - I mean, if the couples are doing dinner together, the invited wife brings dessert. We chat. But I'm accustomed to having best girlfriends. I haven't had one in a while. I don't want to be ungrateful because they are lovely women around but...they'll never be my "bosom friends." (I posted about this I think.) <BR/><BR/>I resolved to get involved in more activities and meet more people! Surely I would find some young woman and know immediately that we were meant to be best buds. But you know, most people think it's sort of weird to have another gal lavish attention on them. (And I haven't found the perfect candidate, and I've sort of slowed down with my efforts. This isn't easy...)<BR/><BR/>I don't know what to suggest, to you or me - being in school made it easier to find people. I know I live in a heavily populated area and will never be really ALONE. Out in the West, I know it can be harder. I guess the only thing I could think of is that if I had every conversation caring only about the other person - listening, not interjecting; asking for more information; caring more than I'm in the habit of doing - I would feel less lonely. I know that's true, because I've done it before. But it's not guaranteed to find you a bff :).the misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206278843624907697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509876753854271521.post-18592608190165843882009-03-11T16:01:00.000-06:002009-03-11T16:01:00.000-06:00Wow, you do sound like you are in a bad place.

I hope that just by writing that down it has helped you come to terms with the fact that your friendship wasn't helping you be any less lonely ven when it existed.
