We all need friends sometimes.......

I know the feeling Maria. It's hard to meet someone when you really never go anywhere, sometimes we just have to wait for them to come to us. I don't know, we could be waiting for awhile. How old is your son? Well, maybe you could have dinner with one of the men that frequent the cafe, you could have a cup of coffee or what have you and then get to know each other that way without going out anywhere.

You need to go out with your friends to meet other people. Go to parties, to public places such as cinema or theater. Even you have to travel more, who knows,maybe you'll meet someone in a trip. Go on holidays and so on. You must find time for yourself!

Well, I think that it would be alright to have people take you out. I think that there is something better about that then meeting and trying to meet someone special online on here. There's a lot you can tell from being around someone that you simply can't get from reading the messages that they type online. Even if it is skype, there's still something about being close to someone physically in a coffee shop or something that isn't there when you are sitting and talking to each other behind a computer screen.

Even with a busy schedule, you need to find a little time to go out and enjoy being with other people--whether that be female friends or out on a date with some handsome man. If a guy is really worth your while, he will find a way to woo you even with your schedule. He needs to see a chance to do so, though. So far, you've been turning all of the guys away. Try saying "yes" to one who strikes your fancy; if he really is serious about you, he will find a way to work around your busy schedule.

I agree with you, Marìa. Sometimes our online friends are not enough and we would like to have a special friend nearby. I have several friends (mostly couples or women) but they have their own lives and I have fun with them. But so many time I want more involvement to have a feeling of belonging. My daughters do not help as they, too, have their own life and I want it to be that way.

Hi Maria! The right person will come at the right time. Perhaps you can have time to go out also you can have a chance to meet other people. While is it true that it is good to have someone special to share our dreams and other aspirations in life, yet we should not be in a hurry for it. Have a nice day

I wish you lot of friend. We as people are friendly and we need people around us specially Friends.

That is a big house for just you I can see why it feels very lonely since its the house you grew up in and its not just you. How come you are in mexico and your son is in the united states in school? That would be very sad to not see him all the time. How old is he? I have some friends I chat with a lot but I feel very lonely as well. I dont have time to date and without a significant other it just feels like I'm not complete.

Do not be worry, Maria. Mylot and Mg friends are still behind your doors. You can also mention my name here.

Sorry to hear you feel alone but I do think it's more the feeling as the fact you are alone. Since like you say there are plenty of people interested in you. For example if the holidays would not be near, it would not be christmas soon.. would you feel the way you feel now also?

hey... Throw your sadness into your trash and put your happyness into your heart, cause we are here for you, maria.. ^_^ and whenever you feel that you are so lonely, you can start a discuss and we will give our warm responces to you. If that is not enough, you can pm an chat with us.. and i remember that you are my first responder when i start my first discussion.. and i always remember that your words.. "take care there.." i hope you has a litle smiling there.. ^_^

We really need friends. My friends are in other countries too. They are living there for good and just return here from time to time. Sometimes I miss our bonding. We talk anything to our friends, we laugh and cry. It is good as well to bond with friends from time to time. Have a nice day!

Maybe you could find someone with a similar schedule to have dinner with. I know there is always work and you work very hard, but if you move your schedule a bit, you might be able to have a relationship to brighten your day. What guy wouldn't appreciate a hardworking, independent woman like yourself? I am sure he would try to accommodate for you.

Why not start in going out with friends?, it would be fun. Then if you decide to go out with them again, tell them to invite other friends and maybe this way you will meet a man that might be interested for you. Who knows..all it takes is to try.

Without knowing your circumstances it is hard to advise. However, is their scope for you to get out and do something completely different A sport or hobby perhaps?

Sorry to hear that m it does sound lonely to be in a house all by yourself and work all day , no time to really socialize and get to know people . Take a break once in a while and try connect with someone .

Don't worry you will surely find one day the friend of your choice here. I knew how frustrating to be alone in a house when we are habituated to live with our children. Like you when I am alone in house specially my hubby on business tour and son is gone to college I just get engaged in drawing some picture or sit on my computer write some articles and visit Mylot to see what my friends have posted and start commenting on them. Have a nice day my friend

One notices being alone more at the holidays as I well know. There is someone for you and some day that person will walk into your life. I still waiting myself :) So I just keep busy cause I have a lot to do also. I guess timing is what it is all about. When it happens I bet we both make time for them.

You know, I used to be in that same situation. I remember years ago before I got married I always felt lonely and wanted that special someone in my life. Then I got married. Unfortunately it did not last. Then I was back to square one once again. I went through all those feelings all over again. Until I met the girl I am with now. I think you will meet that special someone. You seem to have a great personality, a great outlook on like and you do seem to be a fun person. And lets not forget that you are a very pretty girl. If you're not interested in going out with the men that ask you out, maybe you're just not ready to be in a serious relationship yet. But in the mean time, go and have fun. I know work is important, but you do need to have that human interaction. You day will come and you will be happy, believe me.

I hope that you will be able to meet you a nice person. It can be difficult to deal with loneliness. Especially when we are by ourselves. Continue to make good friends and hopefully you will be able to meet someone who will treat you and your son well. I agree we all need to have friends.
