| I am a separated mother of 2 girls and I am looking to meet some new people to go for coffee with. There is only one problem. I don't have a vehicle and live in a small town about 15 to 20 minutes outside of Winnipeg. I spend most bof my time with my kids, but would love to have a chance to go out on my own once in a while to have "ME" time with a friend or two. |

Ho's before Bro's? by 260184846

I have wondered this thought many times. Does female loyalty match male loyalty?
Guys can be aloof and distance and mysterious and get away with it.
When a girl falls head over heels for a guy, she can totally under his spell and throwing herself at his feet - even if it is at the expense of her girlfriends.
Does this happen often or are guys just more forgiving? They don't hold grudges as strongly.
Have you ever felt like an idiot when you travelled long and far to hang out with one of your friends....just to find out that she won't even spend 10 measily minutes with you before running off with the first guy to glance her way?
Why do girls get categorized for being that desperate? Do we deserve it? Do boys make us behave that way or is it our own flaws that ew wish not to admit?
Next thought is when would it be a good time to tell you friend how you felt when she abandoned you for some guy? (again, and again, and again?)
Does it make you seem desperate? Does it depend on how long you have known this person? Why do you depend on your gf's to have a good time? Is it their behaviour that is more bothersome or the fact that your plans didn't go as expected and you are left abandoned with nothing but disappointment?
For the lower self esteem girls, my guess is that they would flirt on the next guy to glance at them too (beat their gf at their game) in order to not feel lonely and not feel shunned. That glimpse of hope and attention may be just the thing.....or a jeopardy for the worse...

Why do simple things in life feel so hard?
-apologizing to a friend
-giving someone a birthday present on their birthday
Both of these are very simple things but the thought of putting them together and going through with it makes me heart race.
It probably don't be a very big deal. Everyone like receiving presents birthday or not.
Worst case scenario, she is angry with my presence and refuses my present.
It will likely not happen that way because she is a very tranquil person. It was one of the things I liked most about my ex-best friend.
Wish me the best of luck tonight...hope ber bday doesn't end in a cat fight
What actually happened~
Well this was something I didn't anticipate. Her running away the moment she found I was coming and try and apologize and give her a gift was definitely something I didn't plan for. My friend who was tipping me off about the locaiton and spilling to her that I was arriving was also something I didn't plan for. Well, there I was alone on ST Laurent, all dressed up and holding her gift in hand. I was feeling ridiculous. Why would I think that other people older than me would grow up at the same rate as me. Just because I was ready to forgive and forget, it doesn't mean others around me are willing to do the same. I thought that 2 years apart would give us each enough time and space but I guess not.
The lesson that I learned is that growing up is totally over rated.

Ladies Night by 260184846

One of my favourite things is having drinks and chatting with girlfriends.
Ladies Nights are a great scene in Montreal. Girls drink for free in many places for example:
Le Cartier on Mondays
Orchid on Saturdays
etc. |

Party friends VS Genuine friends by 260184846

Do you guys ever feel that sometimes there's a blur between your party friends and your real friends?
I used to be very good at setting those apart.
Party friends are those who those you call up when you're bored on a weekend night and you know that they are always up for a night out on the town or something. You have a blurred great night and you go home.
Real friends are those who may or may not live the same lifestyle as you but they are the one who really get you. You know that they will be there for you when you need it the most and for many years to come. They are the ones in which poems, movies, books are based on. They are the ones that will be there at your wedding and give you advice on weddings.
Just last year, I had a my closest friends move out of Montreal and it was hard for me. The friends I had left were my party friends and the were mainly guys. I was coping well with it until now.
My oboxious friend likes to joke around a lot. He is a very insecure character whose own friends talk about behind his back in terms of his many flaws. I usually do a good job of ignoring him and his insults and ways to try and challenge people. However I usually do have fun with him and his friends who are really cool. I feel that even though his friends are great to me and I have a great time with them. It still feels like I walked intoa foreign place sometimes when I am with them and without alcohol. Like everytime I am in their presence, I am a foreigner until a bit of time passes or if there is alcohol present and I feel more comfortable.
Is it weird that I sometimes would rather hang out with my oboxious friends' friends instead of him? The biggest characteristic I would claim him to be would be embarrassing. He's loud and opinionated until people drink to pretend that he is not there making a scene or become more oboxious just to be around him. Another thing is that he makes lower their self esteem to be around him. Sometimes his invitations would sound like: if you don't have other friends to hang out with, you can come join us at this venue. When he is surrounded by people, it'll be the only way he feels good about himself. I have tried to meet up with my friend on a one on one basis and just hang out as friends but he seemed disappointed that there were no free drinks and not enough people. It was a regretful night to be with him....it would have been more fun to go out drinking alone.
I do enjoy the same bar games and such that he does and go partying which is why we get along. At the same time, at those parties, I tend to migrate away to meet new people. I think my reflection upon all this is that I more enjoy the benefits that he brings rather than his own character and friendship. The company, invitations, opportunities to meet great people, etc. are things that he would have to make up for being himself.
A wise person once taught me that people are like brands. If you stay within the company who is bringing you negative brand associations, your own personality/reputation would be devalued too as opposed to if you are surrounded with those who bring you positive brand value. I believe what he means by positive brand value are those people who are compassionate and bring you inspiration that you can admire.
