Boops,

I've known you at your best, and at your worst. And as my son would say, you are very cool for a girl :) With all the times we've talked on the phone, and it having been so easy right from the very first time, I can't imagine anyone NOT wanting to be your friend. You're so open and outgoing, very easy to talk to, and an incredible sense of humor (you have to have one of those with me, eh?)

You gotta remember that walking in new territory now. You'll be doing a lot of things that you've never done before or never had to. Some of these things are going to be pretty scary at first, but you'll get by. If you've got someone at work or living in your neighborhood that you get along with, maybe could casually tell them that you're going to go to a movie and ask if they'd like to come along. That would be a good way to start developing some friendships. Some of the others have suggested getting involved in a group. The group dynamic is excellent for developing a person's social skills, provided you actively communicate while you're there.

I think I understand some of what you're feeling Tina. It really sucks being alone and not having any friends to talk to. I went thru that when my first wife and I got divorced. I was so lonely for the first six months that I just wanted to die. But then I started to make new friends, and more importantly for me, I started enjoying the liberating freedom of being single again. I spent the following twelve years being single by choice. Things change with time.

You're a wonderfully kind and caring woman, and I'm grateful that I get to call you friend. I bet there's a lot of people there where you live that would like the chance to do that in person.

XXOO,
Greg
