I can sympathise with the OP to some extent. I lived in Edinburgh for several years amd had no friends - depression and I kept using the excuse of my job for not getting out there. Not saying the OP is using an excuse (although every good suggestion has been met with resistance) but sometimes you have to "make" time.

Resistance, how? Most of the suggestions are ones I've tried.

can you just answer me straight why you started such a stupid thread about your bank and then a serious one the next day? what was that bank one all about - seriously! with verbs!

dehaani

I accidentally the verb and enjoyed some of the answers.

LegalBlonde

well if you want to accidently !!!! the verb and do something for amusement that i understand is a trolling past time, from the link on your other thread, i would suggest using a different forum or even username if you really must do it, before asking for help on a serious problem!!!

Not exactly no! What about school friends etc? But yeah you could just add anybody if you liked, never know they might be your future soul mate.

I randomly added this guy, we got talking and had loads in common (even knew the same people)
We met up on a night out and now we're married with 2 kids

I have also found alot of my old friends on fb.

Its not exactly the life ruining site that people make it out to be

You've got a great sense of humour, Dehaani! A very silly sense of humour but a good one! The accidently thread had me laughing my head off. I'm sure when you do meet people you'll make good friends. Do you have kids? or nieces or nephews? I've met most of my friends through having my children.

Thank you for the suggestion but can we please keep this on topic. I have been trying to make some genuine friendships for years and can't seem to get anywhere.

Thank you. I have no children but I do make people laugh, not that it's helped me form any friendships.

it should, I think that humour is really important in a friendship. How old are you, if you dont mind me asking?
