Hello again everyone.

Me again. The poetic person xD. Didnt really feel like laughing there, but anyway i laughed. lol. (i use MSN too much as you may have noticed. lol.)

Here's what today's post is about. lol.

I'm like really anxious to have a boyfriend. lol. It's strange I guess. Well, okay, not that strange. lol. I'm just sorta tired of being alone. All three of my sisters have boyfriends, and i dont. lol. I'm somewhat the anti-social, 'emo' type I suppose.

Now you all may be thinking thats wierd considering how 'bubbly' i can be, but its true. lol, on some days, i am anti-social. lol.

I want someone who I can talk to, and call, who'se not long distance.. Someone who can come over and visit me everyday. Just someone..

Anyway^^ lol. sorry for the somewhat depressing post.^^

Josh, have you been following Braden's posts? You will note that his Dad gave him the push he needed to go out where the people are. Today he has a friend. Of course you are looking for more than a friend but I think friendship is where it starts. Go to the beach, the pool, the mall or other places where young people gather. Be your own Dad - give yourself a push. Smile

Thanks Paul^^

I'll try that next time I go to Belleville. Belleville's the city from where I am. I live in Stirling. It's a few mintues from my house, like 15. lol.

Anyways, thanks.^^ I appreciate just you talking to me.^^

Do you want a boy who is a friend, or a boyfriend?

It's important to get your frame of reference right. Braden's dad gave good advice. Braden probably has a friend, now, in a new town. Your circumstances may be different, beachwise, but you can follow the style of the advice

Is it 15 minutes driving or walking distance? If it takes a drive to get there, you may not want to be bothered very often. Aren't there places within walking distance of your house that young people congregate - a park maybe? If you are new to Stirling then perhaps you could explore it with nice, long walks - paying attention to places you see that might be potential hang-out spots.

I only bring this up because it would seem, at least to me, that the closer you live to potential friends, the easier it is to get together. Walking distance or biking distance to a new friend's home means more potential visits than a fifteen minute drive. Have you met the boy next door or down the street?

Josh, look for a friend first, then maybe he can become a boyfriend. Braden was looking for a friend, and he found one. Any relationship is built on friendship and trust. For the life of me he doesnt need to be drop dead beautiful and may be shyer than you are. You may be the one who has to break the ice and make first contact. I screwed up the courage to approach Mark you can to. Who your looking for may be just around the corner. Best of luck, hes there, you just have to recognize him.

But don't rush straight into a serious romantic relationship, no matter how much you want to. Friends are fine first. you really have to establish a bond first before moving to the next level. The tricky part is knowing WHEN to up the ante. Too soon and you risk alienating your friend. Too long and you might get stuck in an "only a friend" relationship where they "don't want to ruin the friendship" (I can't tell you how many times that happened to me.)

Bottom line: friends make better partners so work on that first. once established, go on from there. don't rush. That is all.
