This Is Sad (12)
MissRebel47Richfield, Minnesota USA4 Threads 8 PostsI realize that it is summer in Minnesota and most Minnesotans like to get out and enjoy the lake, the cabin, the boat, etc., but I've perused the posts under the Minnesota heading and it seems that even in winter, there is hardly any activity going on in here. I've lived in three states and I gotta tellya, this has got to be the saddest situation I have ever encountered in all three states. This is not an attempt to bash the locals, but I would probably find more activity at a turtle race. Has everyone been invaded by the "bodysnatchers?" What is it? 
Feel free to stir the pot a bit MissRebel

Oh I agree with YOU 100%. It seems to be very hard to make friends and/or meet someone special to date in the Twin Cities. If you find any good solutions, would you PLEASE let me know? We really need to help each other out.
Hi Get_2_know_me, I moved to Minnesota in 2002 and I have not made one friend. I have NEVER had a problem making friends because of my outgoing and outspoken personality, but the people here, I just can't figure them out. I've joined bowling leagues, meet-ups, etc., and it ain't happening. Other people from different states have told me the same thing, that it's difficult making friends here. One guy who was born here told me that when he went away to college for 4 years and came back, his old friends wouldn't speak to him. Now, that is sad. He also told me that the people here are "clannish." If they didn't know you growing up, the won't know you. It's true. However, I will not give up hope. We should try and put together a get together. Have dinner and drinks somewhere, see how many people we could get to show up on a particular evening and kick back, etc. What say you all?????

MissRebel47 - you took the words out of my mouth! I've lived here for 6 years - nope, haven't found any emotionaly available people. I am actually a very friendly and benevolent person. I've lived in California and Colorado and never had a problem connecting with people. I agree to your post about Minnesotans being "clannish".
I share your outrage - thanks for speaking out.

Really. What is it about Minnesotans anyway? I've been trying to make at least ONE good friend, not to mention meet one good man (partner) for a very long time. Why is this sooo hard? The one good thing about this post is I realize, it's not just me having a hard time. Hmmm. This IS very sad...
What to do?

I agreed with many things MissRebel47 posted, and would have tried to be friends with her. Unfortunately she disappeared before I had a chance...
