Re: [QUAD-L] Living alone and the future

I must be VERY aggressive because right from day one I asked friends to come get me or are you coming over here? When I went out dancing, shopping or picnic's I always asked guys out. I started dating while I was still in the hospital, Kevin was my PT. And I've had a boyfriend ever since, I think because I asked them out. I'm also extremely positive, when I go out, and use a ton of eye contact. I'm ALWAYS the first person to say"Hello" everywhere. When I'm down and out, I don't go out or call family or friends.   My first 4 years I lived with my Mom, then lived on Campus at college for 4 years then back with Mom until I got my section 8 apartment that I've been in since 1983. I meet my hubby 4 months before I moved in - for the first time Pete asked me out. In my apartment building there are 250 units, and I have made an effort to become friends with 6 to 8 people that I can call to help me out in a pinch if I'm in my chair or stuck in bed.  You need to first be your own best friend then you can build other friendships.     Bobbie
