Loneliness is a killer. Trying to cope with it when one has nobody to share with is a lost cause. Especially when one is an introvert, hermit. I thought that a virtual/online friendship/relationship with someone could be the answer...

Sharing to me means discussing and exchanging ideas, teasing each other, joking, crying with each other, enjoying "Oh Fortuna" or a touching love song together. It means sharing joys and sorrows. It means companionship...

I'm looking for someone to say Good Morning in the morning and Good Night at night for I have none.

I won't show you a picture of myself because probably it'll make you run away. But if you are brave enough let me make you laugh, discuss with me Jonathan Livingston Seagull, cry with me watching the Love Story, share with me the simple things you like...

Talk to me even if it's a simple hello....



Welcome to Mingle...enjoy the ride

btw - Johnathan would post a picture and let the chips fall where they may...isn't that one of the key points?...all the best...


Thank you maybwecan for your welcoming and wishes.

Jonathan was a lot braver (and a lot younger) than me :wink: but I do get the point!

Jonathan was my inspiration when I was younger and thinking that I could conquer the universe. (Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach)

1. I don't think I can afford to pay you for your services. smile2
2. Do you think you can scare away the pain and the loneliness?

Thank you so much for your message!

It's not "kind words" Larsi666. It's how everybody should feel for you and the rest of the nurses. The gratitude is all mine!

"It's the same old song, but with a different meaning since you been gone." Ya I see not much has changed since I last used one of these sites. Lonely, desperados being preyed upon by scammers. It's a good thing I have some experience in these matters and I know what to expect. But every once in awhile I slip up.

Thank you for your insight though it is kind of puzzling. Your reference to "Lonely desperados being preyed upon by scammers" makes me wonder whether you place me on the "Lonely desperados" side or on the "scammers" one. If it's the former, I'll accept it with a grain of salt. If it's the latter one, I wonder what gave you that idea.

And as my friend Trixie says: "Be kind to each other".

I guess I just think everyone is like me. "All alone in this World."

I wouldn't know about the other members of this forum, but I'm in your shoes. I do have a few friends in real life who call me to check up on me every few days - "Are you ok?", "I'm ok","Good!" - but I miss those things that one would consider unimportant, someone to say "Good Morning!" and "Good Night!" and hear it back from her. Someone who's worried enough when I have a chest pain to ask me "Should we go to the doctor?"...

I'm still not used to the fact that nobody is around in my apartment, that when I go to bed at night I'll be by myself and when I wake up in the morning I won't get to see anybody. I spent long periods of my life alone but I was younger and things like that didn't matter that much. Now they do. I'm not sure if it's because I feel the end approaching. Maybe....

That's good to know maybwecan and thank you for the info! But since I'm not looking for a face to face relationship, the location of any member, deciding to befriend me, doesn't really make a difference.

I interpret your words above as those of someone not looking for an LDR...and my limited experience with women persuades me that if they are local, a face to face is unavoidable...

getting an image of a guy painting a floor getting himself into a corner with no way out but to walk across the painted floor...but I have certainly been wrong before...
