Well, I guess I’m not the only one then.

I’m sort of a Christian philosopher who is looking for a girl who wants to use proper reason and proper faith to get closer to God. If she is on that common quest for truth, I’m happy. For me, opposites just don’t attract…

…and I don’t think that helps my odds. Trying to find that right girl has been rather difficult. I may encounter eligible bachelorettes every day, but how can I tell? Most of the conversations I hear are about last night’s party, tomorrow’s exam, or some gossipy friend. It’s also difficult to just spontaneous go out and “make friends”. It’s not something that’s done overnight like some video game. I’ve found that it’s hard to find the right one without some extra effort, but it’s hard to know just what that extra effort is.

After a while, you may get that “alone in the universe” feeling. You feel like you want to reach out but don’t quite know how. In fact, it seems that every time you try, your efforts are thwarted. You’re left with this awkward sensation; trying seems to only result in failure

I feel your pain. Unfortunately, I haven’t solved the problem yet, so I don’t think I’m in a good position to give advice. But I could try! 🙂

I laughed while reading your post – because I’m with ya, bro! 😃

I’m feeling very lonely lately too as well. I try doing what others advice here, to focus on other people. I pray for their concerns as well.

I’ve been praying to meet faithful Catholic friends, as the people around me aren’t.

To think I don’t feel bored, as I learn things…but I still feel lonely. I just continue praying to God. Just before going to CAF, I’ve been crying a little because of my loneliness. I try to think how lonely other people are as well, so as to draw attention off myself.

Hello, friend,

Your post really touched me, and I couldn’t not say something. I guess you said so many things which I’ve been doing, praying, and saying that it couldn’t but touch me in some way!

I’ve shed a lot of tears lately. More tears than I ever have before. In a way, I’ve become something of a big softy! But I think God is trying to show me how weak I am, truly, and how much I need his grace to get me through each day.

I have no answers for you, though, but I will pray for you. I will pray that you will find the answers you need and, especially, those good Catholic friends to do things with.
 
Hi fin & Krazykaiju
i will keep you both in my prayers
God Bless
