Thank you… however, there is the fact that she became pushy and demanding of me when I couldn’t meet at times convenient for her. I don’t like that. I appreciate the different approach and ideas. However my issue is not being discerning enough with people and I end up befriending toxic people. This is precisely what I’m trying to change and avoid. And I don’t have difficulty forming friendships with females at all. I don’t know where that came from. I just need and want more friends that live locally. So my issue is discernment and boundaries. And honestly I felt this woman crossed my boundaries by being so pushy when I said I couldn’t walk at certain times. So I revert back to my original stance that this is not one I wish to befriend. Thank you both however for your ideas and input.

 Same here. A pushy person isn't respectful of others; I wouldn't put up with that. I'm on your side here. This woman doesn't sound like someone I'd want either. Feline Angel is right in saying it's best to find out early if someone is flaky, and I trust my gut. This way I don't waste both time and an emotional investment in someone. Neither of those can be recovered.

Hey. Just catching up . I agree trust your gut - I'm sure going to in the future.  I've hardly met anyone that doesn't struggle to make friends after 40. |

I hope you do find a good friend, Hope
i'm at the point where i may have to cut off a friendship myself cause the friend in question is getting too demanding and pulling at me in email too many times, despite being told i can't spend the amount of time and energy on her that she needs

I have made a a few new friends since my divorce. One is a couple, and especially the female. Another is a male, but I don't see him often. And a third I knew in college, so he may not really count, but we've since then gone to a concert together. I also have become closer to a male friend of mine as well, who used to be more of an acquaintance. So there's that, I guess. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |
