Here's the problem. I am dating someone
but I don't get to see him everyday. I am
alone about 5 days out of 7 sometimes less
because of my work and distance. He is so
flighty and indecisive that I could be
single at any moment. I never know from
day to day.
While I am alone I have no one to hang
with. I don't have much family around
where I am. Friends I have made are busy
with thier men or babies.
I work out and read to pass time or watch
tv but that gets boring and I like the
company of others.
I am trying to find something fun to do
and new way to meet people to be friends
with. Any ideas?

Try taking some classes. They can just be
something fun like pottery making or
whatever you call fun. That should get
you talking to people. After the fourth
or fifth class, suggest people go out for
a beer or something. Or join a softball
team as it gets closer to nice weather.
That's usually pretty social.
Why don't you see your significant other
that often? My girlfriends tends to be in
greece for months at a time. Is your
partner out of town or something? If
you're trying to keep the relationship
together, you should make a point of
calling each other every day. I use one
of those cheap onesuite plans and talk to
my girlfriend just about 5 days out of 7
when she is gone. Sometimes it's short
conversations but I think it keeps us
close. You could also do some volunteer
work to meet people and it would also make
you feel good about yourself and give
something to the community.

You have made good suggestions!
We don't see one another that much because
of our distance. It's about 30 minutes
apart and when I work all day I just don't
feel like driving more than I have to and
that is already a 45 minute commute. He
never comes to see me because of his
children and dragging them out so late.
Plus we wouldn't have any privacy if they
came.
He has custody so they are always with
him. Maybe that is just an excuse because
they are at an age where they should be
able to stay at home alone. They are
teenagers. When we do see each other face
to face, its because I made the commute.
We talk almost every night on the phone
but sometimes he doesn't call. I gave up
calling in the event that he doesn't
because most of the time he won't answer
so I don't bother. He always says he was
busy with the kids or something and didn't
hear the phone or he fell asleep and when
he woke up it was too late to call, etc.
Sometimes I feel slighted I guess.
I am just trying to make a life for
myself right now and stay more busy and
less lonely all the time. I am hoping the
rest kinda falls into place. Thanks for
all the tips.
