    Do you know its funny you should say that, cos ALL my friends are going to France in the Summer and I never got invited, I still don't understand why, I think its cos its a couples thing and I am not in a couple. This just further adds to my paranoia that people are friends with me out of pity.

    which is why I love you lot xx you all just like me, no questions, no predecided ideas about me.

    Maybe cos you do a lot with your OH they think work stuff isn't your bag??

    We do get invited as couples but female friends or work friends I really dont know why things dont happen naturally.

    I shall give you an example.......

    I was talking to the grils that sit near me in the staff room, it was about lunch time and I thought that I was making inroads into making friends........

    On the dot of lunch they all got up and decided that they were going to the local pub for their lunch and left me sitting on my own, and I mean it was OBVIOUS that I was on my own..............I bought a sandwich from the cafe and ate it at my desk:(

    I used to sit in the dining room at school on my own too...............maybe its me, do I smell:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Can you invite them to go with you to these things?

    What about finding somewhere else to meet people you can get on with (do as I say not as I do - I have 0 local female friends :o)?

    I guess you have to be brave enough to handle the rejections katsu, I just dont feel strong at the moment:o

    Don't make light of it Lou. That's horrendous, really blatant. Have no idea what to suggest though - are they really really super-clicky?
