Thank you for taking the time to reply, I also have learned these lessons over the years as well. Some came to me easier than others but I'm a slow learner when it comes to friendships and relationships I believe. As I said before it really didn't seem of feel like these things were problems to me before... I never really wanted to be friends with someone who didn't like me for me. I don't do fake and have a problem with people who do. Plus, the guy I'm with now is totally super shy and I'm the more out going of us and if you were to meet me in person you wouldn't think I'm a shy type at first. I'm the type who doesn't have a problem with saying "hi" first or having a nice chat over a beer at a bar with someone I just met at the bar. Which sometimes gets me into trouble as I can't see if they are flirting for me or not, (blushes).

It's a problem now because I don't want my little girl to have the same problems of not having friends growing up. I want her to get use to the idea of how friendships work, admittedly she isn't even a year old but starting early would be best I think.

As for the lady, I have also invited her out, my apartment isn't ready to have anyone over. Each time was just bad timing for her but I wonder where too many invites start to been seen as needy. I'm also lucky that she understand how it might be for someone with ADD as her husband has ADD. Recently, I needed to get some ideas about what I was going through aired out. I didn't really want to use my Facebook as not all my friends understand it yet and I don't like to post on my Facebook unless I have no where else to do so, nobody seems to listen half the time anyways... that or doesn't know how to respond to my statuses. I had also forgotten that I was a member on here till a few days ago. I opened up to her and was like I didn't care if it took us a few weeks to talk about I need to just talk.
