I joined ALL three weeks ago, and I'm glad I did it. I pm-ed some new members and some others, who left the forums soon after joining. I got only few replies. It was a success anyway, taking into account how hard it was for me.
Out of the people, who replied, I stayed in touch with three of them. Unfortunately, one person got quiet after couple days of - I believe - a nice chat, without any explanation or anything. It doesn’t really matters after all. It hurts, but it happens.
Those two, who managed to cope with me are important in different ways. With one we share thoughts on our marriages. With the second one, who became a significant one relatively quickly, it’s about everything really. Well, it’s a woman. For unknown reasons I usually end up in closer relationships with women and LGBT people than with straight males, even I try hard. I don’t really mind, although a nice athletic male figure around would be nice as well
Maybe it’s my soft nature, or maybe because I prefer to talk about poetry and trees rather than about politics, sport and cars.
So, although extremely different, I soon realised that our histories and passions converge in terms of life experience. We both feel relatively safe with our partners, but lonely regarding friends, whom we lost or never had many. We are also a bit tireless and restless wanderers. Apart from that, she is the first person, whom I met in my life, who reads Plath and Sexton not for the sake of studying English literature. It’s a major discovery of my middle age Our friendship is mostly about listening and trust, I think. I like it also, because it is romantic as we probably will never meet each other face-to-face. I like me being old-fashioned.
I'm more than aware that it’s barely three weeks, and it may not be the best time yet for recapping, but at least, I haven’t felt as lonely recently as used to.
Great thanks to ALL and you, C
