[quote:Anonymous Coward 33461226:MV8yMTMxOTQwXzM1OTgzNDY0Xzg3QzcyMUJB] So then how the hell do you make friends? Eh, guess I go see what my guild is doin. [/quote]
Original Message
I am mostly a loner but always make a point of saying hello or at least nod and smile to strangers when walking to do errands or for exercise.
Tis rare to see other people walking so it just feels good to acknowldege them.
However most of the time I get ignored or a wide eyed look.
Today, though, before I had the chance to greet a passing stranger, he greeted me! Oh shock! We immediately hit it off just chatting as we walked two blocks together and then he said his name, shaked my hand, and said he was turning here.
Well I was too. Found out we live kittycorner across the street from eachother. (I just moved here a little over two months ago)
He said come by to have coffee and chat if you want. Innocent enough right?
Do I go knock on his door?
People have resoundedly taken advantage of me and thus have not looked for friends for almost 3 years now. Alas have been lonely and bored, but mentally and emotionally stable.
Should I go for it?
Or stay comfortable in my loneliness and not be taken for a horror ride again?
