As there anyone out there who would just love to have a nice little online friendship?

Someone who just wants to talk about their day and make each other laugh. And no thinking about meeting or dating or none of the tough stuff. Just honest to goodness friends. Like pen pals used to do. Preferably female. No I don’t hate men. Just don’t have a lot of female friends in my life. Not real sure I believe in all that “girl power” crap, but I thought just having one pal online with no expectations would be a hell of a lot better than what I’ve been presented lately in my everyday life.

Most of the women on here prefer to get to know people on Q&A before messaging with them.

It saves a lot of hassle from those with ulterior motives.

@IttyOldBitty Not at all, I'm not really a prolific poster, others have much more and better content, the trick is to find those you vibe with.

I'm not always kind but I do try to be...

IttyOldBitty · F

@AntisocialTroll I have to admit that I’m definitely not always the kindest person in the world. Guess this is my way of working on it lol

Michmich · 36-40, F

@IttyOldBitty I think that it's the best advice. Like just (try to) be friendly and open and social, read peoples things and write something once in a while and you'll have tons of people to talk to!

Pen pals are nice to have whether male or female. I understand not having a lot of female friends. I don’t have many either. I usually get along with men better maybe because I was the only female other than my mother in a family of six. There are sincere people here worth getting to know don’t let others put you off by trying to lump everyone into one category. We are all here for different reasons. Read profiles and choose who to talk to by what is or isn’t there and what they say in comments and posts. Welcome to SW and I hope your experience here is a positive one. Mine has been. I spend a good part of my time ✍️ poetry and stories and conversations with friends. You can make it whatever you want it to be.

@Luckylu thank you so much for the kind words and sound advice. I’ll definitely take it to heart and do just that. I’m sure I need to spend a bit more time on here before determining where exactly I belong.

I'd expect there to be loads, but I also expect that few people want to put time and effort into things; a strong preference for someone to entertain them.

but hopefully you'll find better results.

@IttyOldBitty I hope it is.

IttyOldBitty · F

@stound me too lol

Michmich · 36-40, F

@stound I think that this is a good point. If someone is only looking for someone to entertain them then you will know almost right away since people like that are also super impatient and defnitely don't want to waste time not getting their entertainment. So if that happens just move on to the next

Anything more than a casual friendship online just leads to someone getting hurt. Of course there are exceptions to that but they are in the minority.

@Sevendays I see where you’re coming from but I don’t think just having decent, friendly chats with someone could hurt. I mean depending upon what both or all parties want and are in agreement in the friendship. If that makes sense? Not sure I worded that in the best way lol sorry, I tried.

Sevendays · M

@IttyOldBitty I agree.

IttyOldBitty · F

@Sevendays I completely understand where you’re coming from!

in10RjFox · M

This site is for that purpose.. where one can know about a person by their profile and their posts and message them to converse.

So assuming you are new to the site.

@in10RjFox it’s always going to be hard to find the genuine ones. Heck I’m just enjoying the interaction on this queue alone. It’s got us all talking and I think that’s pretty cool despite never having one on one chats. I also think this way that maybe we really could weed out the ones who aren’t genuine. Maybe I’m just being silly. Or maybe I’m just hoping that everyone will keep talking just the way they are now. And anyone who chooses not to be a part of it can it participate and that’s ok too. But I do see exactly where you’re coming from.

😀😀 you are learning the ropes much faster. All the best.

IttyOldBitty · F

@in10RjFox lol thanks♥️

exita · 26-30, F

yes iam ,here ,friendship is always the best when it is with the right ones ,ones makes you laugh ,ones take care of your feelings , ones care enough to ask about you before you do 😉😊

IttyOldBitty · F

@exita yeah that’s what I’m looking for. I guess you could say a bit of an online friend support group. Everyone needs someone cheering them on. Even if it means someone they’ve never met! Just looking kind folks. I’m still holding onto kindness still existing. It has to.

exita · 26-30, F

@IttyOldBitty yes indeed ,thats right 😻🌷 happy weekend 💙

IttyOldBitty · F

@exita same to you!🩷

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

Well I can chat if you’re willing just a normal conversation with a 59 year old

@RedBaron I know but it’s my fault

IttyOldBitty · F

@RedBaron I don’t think “normal” is actually a real thing. And if it is, I couldn’t begin to actually describe what it truly is.

IttyOldBitty · F

@Havesomefun2 what’s your fault?

HumanEarth · F

I used to have a pen pal. We started writing to each other in grammar school. We wrote to each other till 2019.

They died from a car accident

IttyOldBitty · F

@HumanEarth I’m very sorry to hear that. But I am so glad that had such a wonderful bond for so long. That doesn’t happen often. Not in this day and age.

HumanEarth · F

Well if you ever just want to talk about nothing. Just message me. I'll always answer

IttyOldBitty · F

@HumanEarth thank you so much!♥️

Entwistle · 56-60, M

That would be cool. Sadly as I'm a man i don't fit your criteria.

IttyOldBitty · F

@Entwistle I said I preferred a woman because I was just looking for that female friend connection. But you have certainly just made a new forum pal if you’d like!

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@IttyOldBitty Cool. Nice to meet you.

IttyOldBitty · F

@Entwistle nice to meet you as well!

Sojournersoul · M

Sojournersoul · M

@IttyOldBitty You are very welcome.

MissyChrissy · 18-21, F

Yes Ma'am, I would love to.

IttyOldBitty · F

@MissyChrissy thank you so much. I’m so glad that I’ve encountered so many kind people on here. I had no idea what to expect. Having done in forums or chatting in a very long time.

MissyChrissy · 18-21, F

@IttyOldBitty Youre welcome Ma'am. I am about to send you a private message.

MissyChrissy · 18-21, F

@IttyOldBitty If you didnt get it maybe it went to the requests folder. You find the requests beside the inbox (letter button).

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

@IttyOldBitty yeah be nice to talk as I don’t really socialise

IttyOldBitty · F

@Havesomefun2 understandable. I do socialize a bit but just haven’t found the right friend group. So I thought I’d give it a try on here. Hey, friends are friends no matter where they are lol

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

@IttyOldBitty very true

Pixiboyuk

Seems to be a very long queue lol

IttyOldBitty · F

@Pixiboyuk yes it is! Even if commenters are just here out of curiosity, at least it started some kind of conversation. Which is exactly what it was intended for! Lol I had no idea so many would reply. Feels kinda nice haha

* sniffs* smells like catfish

IttyOldBitty · F

@SW-User no I honestly just wanted some friends to talk to. Been having a hard time lately and needed some decent conversations to take my mind off of it all. Health problems and anxiety are no fun. Just needed some folks who are a bit detached from my issues to bounce thoughts off of. But yeah I can understand why you’d say that.

SW-User

@IttyOldBitty good luck

IttyOldBitty · F

@SW-User thanks!

Stillwaiting · M

Good luck on your SW journey

Unquestioned · 70-79, M

Yeah I would, but am scared of being called a perverted old bastard.

IttyOldBitty · F

@Unquestioned i don’t have any reason to call anyone names at all. If you are mind to me, I’ll certainly do the same in return. I wouldn’t want to assume anything at first.

Unquestioned · 70-79, M

@IttyOldBitty A lot on here do assume.

IttyOldBitty · F

@Unquestioned oh I’m sure. And I certainly have run into some perverts on here. But that’s inevitable I suppose lol

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

yeah

IttyOldBitty · F

@MartinTheFirst cool, nice to meet ya! Lol

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@IttyOldBitty sory... i just have to. You did it to yourself... [media=https://youtu.be/rinZIBaDX6A]

IttyOldBitty · F

@DemureDeb I’m just looking to connect with people who are just genuinely kind to each other. Send a good morning or how are you every now and again. We need more of that all over the world. I figured I give it a shot here. I know it may be a long shot and there will always be buttholes looking to cause a stink but there have GOT to be some true, decent and kind people on here somewhere on this forum looking to root each other on. Lol sorry for the speech!
