Today, I was so desperate for someone to talk to I called various restaurants pretending to be interested in ordering food, just so I could have a conversation. I called eleven different places. FML

Today, my friend asked me to order take out for him because he gets nervous on phones. I called a Chinese restaurant, only to get nervous, and hang up. FML

Today, I discovered I was at the same restaurant as my ex and his new girlfriend. Quickly, I picked up my mother's phone when she wasn't looking, and began to pretend to talk to a fake new boyfriend. Few seconds later, the waiter loudly asked me if I was done talking into the calculator. FML

Look for MeetUp.com groups or similar websites in your area. Plenty of activities with like minded people. Good luck.

I’m sorry and I hope you can get more social interaction; maybe join some community clubs or volunteering? Getting a counselor may help as well?

And no one seems to be in a hurry to comment on your story —- yikes! Our special tonight is lamb chops in a mango-chutney salsa. Will that be take-out or dine in?
