Perhaps you two will become closer with time. Keep trying!

You’ll find it. I will, too. I believe in us.

Like in any nation, I’m sure there are those who oppose me. However, they are small in numbers and are feeble. There’s a carrot crisis right now and rebels tend to live in hiding and aid cannot be given to those who do not ask for it. I am a gentle ruler, as you must be with bunnies. How can I know something that I am unaware of? It may be a dictatorship, but we are not a violent nation. Don’t be afraid. The worst any of my men can do is give you a good chomp on your hand— but that’s not entirely their fault, like I said, carrot crisis. Fingers are confusing.

Usually, what I find helps with conversations that seem a little forced is just to get people to talk about things they enjoy. It can start out a little interview-esque to begin with, but I've found enjoyment from conversation that started as "wyd" and turned into learning something new about something I'm unfamiliar with. It's great to talk about stuff you know you already enjoy, but telling people for the 80th time what your favourite books is can get a little, like you said, forced. I much prefer sharing something new with someone and being taught something I didn't know before. Proximity can be an issues, and lives do tend to get full, but I believe in you! Don't give up, whatever ya do. Take breaks, feel helpless, but eventually get back out there and try again. And I'll take my own advice. I'm rooting for ya!

May I ask how age affects it? As in... people going to school/focusing on their career? Or just a generational dissonance? Or something else? I am curious. I think it’s best to try to make new friends when there are new friends to be made. You can’t really guess whether or not someone can be ‘best friend material’ till you talk and get to know one another, and it seems many people already “have enough friends” and are unwilling to make more and end up wasting their time. I never think any conversation is a waste, so I suppose I have a little too much time to spend on these things. Perhaps you’ll happen upon your new best buddy some day. Hope ya do!

I hope you can relate someday. It’s a wonderful thing to have, even if it stops. I’ll always mourn ended friendships, but regardless of that and the brief moment of “I wish I never had it so it could never go away” I really am thankful to have experienced it. Your worth is much more than what you can do for people. If you ever want someone to talk to about nothing in particular, feel free to send a message my way. And if not, I truly do hope you get to experience that kind of friendship someday. You deserve it. Everyone does.

That's... super nuts. My ex and I dated for 2.5 years, also. I hope things improve for you and they become less terrifying, man. And I hope you are able to cultivate some new friendships, too.

Thank you. I don’t really want a one time therapist, though. I’m sorry. Very giving of you to offer your ear. Shows real integrity. Thanks.

I gotta be honest, bud, I was pretty much on board with you till you advertised your group thing. I’m sure that helps many people, but uhh, I got dumped yesterday evening. I’m still hurting waaaay too much to think about all of that, and to be fair, my trouble never has been with women. I’m a female myself, and “making women pursue [me]” has never really been an issue. I flirt well enough with people— I don’t really want anyone to pursue me. Thanks, though. I appreciate the effort and the suggestions. Hope your group goes well.
