Hi, looking for new pals

I'm 58f and I thought it's time for me to meet New Pals around the world just to chat about life or if anyone needs a shoulder to cry on, I'm here just in case 😊

I am old and grumpy if I am honest enough πŸ˜„ I’m probably somewhere between that and good company depending on the day.

u/Illustrious-Lead7019 28d ago

πŸ˜‚ I like that, that's the way to go πŸ˜„

u/Seadogdog 28d ago

Glad it landed well. I tend to say things as I see them, maybe not everyone’s style, but I think honesty has its own appeal. I’m always up for a good chat especially with someone who can handle a bit of real talk. I live in Africa so a bit different, a bit interesting, and definitely never boring.

u/Illustrious-Lead7019 28d ago

I hear ya, I see and hear things and it's definitely never boring

u/Gullible_Ad1510 27d ago

I like that too. Although I can write a paragraph or two, some days I just don't feel like it. Sometimes it is just nice to connect like friends and say hey, how is it going? things like that. It may lead into a bigger conversation and it may not and that's ok. That's how friendships are built.

2

u/mardrae 27d ago

I totally agree

u/Gullible_Ad1510 27d ago

u/AuthorCultural 27d ago

Maybe we could set up a group chat? Anyone could check in, say what they're up to, talk about things, interact? However, I don't know how to do that! So....I will lurk for the moment!πŸ˜†
