Andrew' its easy for us to say you gotta get out but its true! you don't have to go to the pub or club they can seem even more lonely, you need to find something that your interested in like Photography, dancing, Art, walking, anything!!! then find a club or evening class that cover's it and join up' seems scary but that is going to be the hardest bit' the rest is down hill, there is loads of stuff that you can do, you will soon be coming on here to get away from all the attention you'll be getting!!
and you've already made the first step.
and remember' we'll be with you all the way
