Sadly this is all too easy for me to answer, in a nutshell I've no friends, never had any at school or work and can't honestly see me having any friends at all (in real life).

While when I was younger this didn't seem to matter, I just lived in my ivory tower and life just passed me by, only now do I realise how much I've missed out on in life.

In my 40's I did start to go to singles clubs but got absolutely nowhere which made me feel so pathetic and that was a major part in me having a breakdown in my mid 40's (I'd probably be about 44 but that seems a lifetime ago).

End of last year I started to go to the over 60's luncheon club which is good.

About 2 weeks ago started to go to a bridge club (boy is the bidding process in that game totally confusing) at present seeing how that goes.
