I can't think of any ways that I can meet people. I have looked thru the events section of FB multiple times to see if anything is happening and nothing appeals to me. There is someone who I had hung out with a few times recently. She's someone I know from my elementary days. I had asked her and a friend of hers if they wanted to go to a haunted house next weekend. They said that that wouldn't work, and we sort of talked about going out to eat somewhere. It got to the point where the only thing I could do is push the issue but I didn't feel comfortable doing that, and rightfully so because no one else made an effort to plan something. This person has also gone out with friends of hers without inviting me. I had also asked another friend, and he said that he was gonna be busy.

To move away from the topic of wishing I had more things to do for a sec, I had heard that she has a crush on me. However, I don't feel the same way. I wanted to say that before anyone asks if I want to be more than friends with her. Since I did bring that up, I now should ask, why are the only girls that are ever interested in me the ones that I'm not interested in? Damnit, this has confused me for years!

Last friday, I had gone to see a girl I was interested in at an ice cream place that she worked at. This girl is the daughter of one of my dads friends so she's not unfamiliar with me. I tried to talk her and then I wrote down my phone number in case she ever wanted to talk and I left. Of course, she never responded.

So back to my loneliness. Yesterday, I drove around town and the more I did the more depressed I felt that I had nothing to do. No friends that I could just go hang out with on minimal notice. No one who makes my life much more interesting. Even that one guy friend I have and I haven't hung out in 2 months.

I need to find a way to get myself out into the world, so to speak. I just can't think of any ideas. My mind just runs on auto pilot all the time. It's gotten really old.

Why don't you just go out to eat? I would find that cool.....

Maybe you all could tell ghost stories. Maybe that might get them to want to go to a haunted house.

I once went on a "haunted house" trip when I was about 7 years old. While I was in the house, I found newspapers from the Civil War era. A little more than 100 years before the "present" when I was 7 (1968).

Here’s how those talks flames out:
I had suggested that we’d go to one place, but she said that they were closed because of the storm that happened here 2 months ago. Nothing was said after that.

If I’m the one that has to push everything, that’s a sign that they don’t care as much as I do.

If you have to push everything every single time that would be true, but if it's only some of the time, or the first time it might just be an investment that will pay off.

I think that we might do that someday, I just don’t think it’d be this upcoming weekend.

It’s a big restaurant chain. They are sort of like sports bars.

Not sure what a dine in is, but it seems good.

All “dine in” means is that you eat in the restaurant.

Applebee’s is a restaurant that has a sort of fancy bar within it. Sports events are always on the TV monitors.
