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.
