dotbar,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have been trying to think of some ways to make more friends.
I'm rather good at "putting all my eggs in one basket" when it comes to friendships.
Similar incidents have happened in the past. (Also, it seems I usually invest more in the friendship than the other person.) This time, I decided to do things different. I used to attend Alcoholics Anonymous regular, but got out of the habit of going a few years ago. Although I haven't drank in 1 1/2 years, I started going back for social support. I'm rather good friends with the guy who has the meetings at his house & we do a lot of things together. All of this does help.
