So what is a friendship website? When my wife and I set out to make a couples only, friendship only website it was genuinely because we wanted to do our bit to promote a quality website. The clear intention was to make a friendship website, couples only, friendship only and that's exactly what we have done. When members join it can be a very effective way to meet new couple friends and you soon realise that there are in fact many couples out there who simply want the chance to make some new friends whilst being secure in the fact that the site cannot be confused for other means.
So how does it work? When we put this site together three years ago we already knew there were dozens of dating sites and a few friendship and dating. It's fair to say that friendship when you are single can of course lead on to dating, it's how I met my wife, but if you are already a couple then some people (our members!) want to make it crystal clear what they are looking for. We have stuck through with this and will continue to do so. It means that if you join us you know exactly what we are about and a clear indication of what you can expect to find if you join the site. We know that's important to you. You now know its also important to us as well!
I want new friends. In a world where people are increasingly able to lock themselves away in front of the television, order home delivery and maybe even work from home, it's no surprise that there are many out there who can feel socially isolated. After all, everyone else is having a great time, solid wall of parties, Ibiza here we come. But if you are looking for new friends, perhaps have days when it's too quiet for your liking, then consider this. The vast majority of people in this world have very few real friends. The sort of friends who won't let you down, who turn up irrespective of the effort they have to make, and don't do their best to let you know how hard it all is. But there's more...
If you nod your head to those comments then welcome to the world of most everyone else around you. The person opposite is possibly thinking exactly the same. 'Been let down too often', 'fed up with going out and getting falling over drunk', 'need to do more..'. So what's to be done?
If you can accept that feeling this way is a normal human condition then you start to feel better about yourself. It's not just you, it's all around us. Yes, yes, we can all look to whoever and say well they seem to be having a great time and are constantly surrounded by friends. Some people perform well in certain areas, academic, social, perhaps they can cook, perhaps they can care for others. But life is not perfection, it never has been and to do better and feel better is often about change from within.
In a world where some of us have access to food, drink, clothing, warmth and housing in a way that couldn't even be conceived a generation ago then we must be full of the joys of living on a daily basis. Medicine can achieve what looks like a miracle. A telephone, for heavens sake, is a computer that fits in your pocket. Any my collection of 45rpm records is starting to look a little dated...
But much about the way we feel and interact with others is, not surprisingly, all about training. Every step we take was once a learning process and our mood and the way we interact with others is no different. If we can accept that learning to play the piano is about education, then can we accept that the way we feel is the same?
Here's the point. When you get up tomorrow, tell yourself it's going to be a great day. No matter what comes your way. Do that often enough and you are not kidding yourself, you are simply training your brain to have a different perspective on life. And like learning to walk, expect a few falls on the way. Just do the same as you did back then. Get up and have another go.
