Phone calls are not the same. I want to go out with them again.

What I have learned is not all are nice , some have taken what they wanted and I have given open heartedly, many have given me joy and some have made me cry . I'm happy to help those with baggage and when they leave their baggage is dumped but some decided to pick it back up and carry it with them .My train journey is very interesting wanna join me for a while

Mum worked in the civil service and became friends with a fella. They used to go out for meals, the theatre, cinema etc for about a year. Nothing romantic about it, but eventually she began to fall in love and told one of her girlfriends about it. Her girlfriend enlightened her that the fella was gay, but had been using my mother as a front of respectability (this was in the late 1950s). She was devastated and, on the rebound, ended up with my dad.

Re: Friendship
I have several BFFs I've known since childhood or teens. We used to do everything together, so more like family. One childhood best friend from being babies in prams who moved abroad but we still keep in touch. I've found that it's strange some guys who I found annoying when I was younger I've now grown fond of. They have stuck around and I've come to appreciate their good points. I guess part of growing up is appreciating others for themselves and not thinking of who is cool and uncool. Widening your circle. I guess when you are really grown up anyone can be a friend.25-02-2021, 01:21 AM
