Are you talking about what happened earlier? I tend to agree that it was a bit rude of them to say and do those things. They should have known better.

About the guy you wanted to hear from on skype. That can tend to happen. The best thing is, like I said, approach carefully and don't put too much into it. Talk about what you like and just be you without expectations. I'm sure someone will like you for you. Perhaps continue with the poetry. Don't give up if some things don't work out. Life can be a bit rocky and the worst thing is to give up. Skype can be a bit tricky and you shouldn't use it as a basis of determining someone's interest. I think really if you get to talking to someone for a bit ask them if they like you. Being open and honest with your feelings will probably be the best path to take.

The key point is to not be afraid of rejection. If they say no or disappear on you, try your best to not take it personally and keep at it. I'm sure you'll strike gold someday.

I wish you the best of luck.
