  • Re-using your username across multiple sites isn't great. It makes you very trackable online; especially if you use a real name, or parts of it, then provide any 'real' details in your posts.

    Get yourself logged on to https://www.meetup.com - get yourself out there meeting some new people. I signed up in February...all of a sudden I have a social life, I'm meeting new people, I'm going for drinks, walks, meals out, bowling, to ice creameries, on photo walks...you name it! All my coupled up loved up sprogged up friends who ditched me for the loves of their lives are now envying the fact I have a social life again...

    ...and guest what? 90% of people who go there are single.... It's getting me out the house, I'm making new friends, and I'm meeting a few more people of the opposite sex at the same time....

    It's really worth doing, and a lot of the activities are free or a £1 or £2 contribution to the organiser....

    Please give it a whirl.... :p

    Good luck xx

    Just to quell some fears, I do actually know Lynsay!

    Then tell her who or how she knows you or leave her alone.

    You really have come across creepy and stalkerish, which you seem to revel in.

    just a wee add for accuracy!
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    and I prefer "admiring from afar" than "stalking"



    If you admire someone and have any respect for them, you don't play mind games with them or try to cause them totally unnecessary stress and anxiety, via social media or anywhere else!
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    So I have finally taken the plunge and booked to go on a Meetup event this Sunday. It's local to where I am and it's walking distance. Plus it's a beer, wine and cider festival so I can have a few to loosen me up!
