I'm going to add myself to this list. I don't have any female friends. I haven't in years. I used to try, but after getting used and abused too many times to count I don't trust most people. I do have acquaintances, but no real friends. One co-worker I get along with quite well, but I don't fully trust her so it is a work only friendship.

When I was in the Air Force I was in a male dominated field so I tended to have male friends, but once they started dating someone that would usually end. I had one male friend, nicest guy in the world, we chatted all the time, he never once tried anything with me, he was like a brother to me. His family finally joined him at the base (this was overseas) and the first time I met his wife I knew our friendship was over. She looked at me and I could tell she hated me.

Anyway, I have no friends, male or female now. And I'm now an empty nester. So it's just my h, and our cats and dogs. Our daughter and her boyfriend comes to our house to do laundry and we try to have them up for dinner every couple of weeks.

I'm trying to find ways to get involved in something, somewhere but my anxiety is preventing me from doing it.
