I think 90% of my time has been occupied by one person since Thursday night, and by god I need out of here tonight! And most of the time, it was because it was easier than going alone and getting shit for it later. I really need a full day away! Can anyone entertain me this evening?

eeek - if you're talking about who I think you're talking about - then you need to tell her straight exactly what the relationship is and why thats not going to change!

Hmm. Possibly - I'm not sure, though, cos I've theoretically arranged something, but I've not heard back from them and don't know if they've seen the email yet.

So I'm indeterminate. I'd know for sure one way or the other later though. You could ping me online after work?

Underworld is showing at the Warner tonight, 5:30 and 8:40. I'll be going to one of them. Other than that, you could drop by for the rest of the game of Risk.

And there's always beer!

I'm off to bed now, let me know if you wanna catch the flick.

It's been said before - and better than I can say it - that you are not helping her by giving in and taking her with you when you go out.

She won't learn to cope with making friends on her own unless she has to, and, more importantly, she won't manage to get over you until you're not available to her anymore.

Ideally it would be good if you two could be friends in the long term, but at the moment, while she's still confusing friendship with a potential restarting of a relationship, it would be better for both of you to have a break from spending any time together.

Are there any friends of yours who might be prepared to call her and invite her to stuff which you're not going to? Thomas, possibly? Or skx?
If you let me know her email address I'll invite her on the next Girls Night Out. Or, if she roleplays, we've got the girly group on Thursday nights too...

I suggest that you do keep her off LJ, though. It's a right pain having to go back through all your old posts and re-set the access level to the relevant ones (I had to do it a while back because of my stalker), and, as you say, LJ Meetups would no longer be something you could do without her.

Can't help you with tonight, but I've a vague recollection that reiki was mentioned as a possibility for sometime this month?

What does she do? uni/work? Does she live in the same place as you?
Maybe she just needs to break away and live somewhere else if that is the case. When you work/live somewhere else you're bound to meet new people..

I can't help you in the week, but if you want to get out for a bit this weekend, I would like to borrow you this saturday coming, weather permitting...

Aaaaaarrggghh. Reading all of this makes me fret for several reasons.

I have sympathy for you because of the difficult situation that this has put you in, but at the same time I feel sorry for Lorraine [funny how no-one else here actually uses her name....] because I totally understand how she feels.

If I was brave enough, I'd talk to her about how she feels and offer her some advice as to how to get over you [it took me long enough with Ben but things do get better :)], but I think it would be wrong of me to initiate such a conversation. I mean, she probably doesn't even know that I am aware of the current situation. Perhaps you could suggest to Lorraine that I would be the type of person she might want to chat to when she feels down? I'd be more than happy for her to call me.

I dont know. I know you need somewhere to vent but seeing everyone on here talking about Lorraine like this depresses me. I guess I know her better than people here?

Dont get me wrong, I know that people here are offering advice and possible solutions in order to try and help Lorraine, but at the same time, I feel like it's a big secret Lorraine-bashing society :(

*sigh* I knew I was in a funny mood today. Sorry. I'll probably regret this comment tomorrow. *hugs* xx
