Wallflower


The last weeks, I don’t know exactly how long, I have tried my best to go out a bit more and meet people. I have always been kind of locked up in ImperiuM Island, and still am. Don’t get me wrong, I love the ImperiuM and my best friends a lot, but I felt it would be nice to change scenery every now and then, specially when I cannot fight or when my friends are not online.

I realise I can be um..not easy to approach at times. But I am not a freak! So, I put on my new dress and went to some ballrooms/jazz clubs, thinking that would be places to meet people for a nice conversation. The welcome areas I often visit are okay, but face it…one does want to talk to some more experienced residents every now and then, and not only help newbs or get overwhelmed by gesturebators!

My quest for meeting people has not been succesful so far. In the clubs I got completely ignored. I even tried to start a conversation, but when no-one answers..well, then I am done.  I don’t know what it is, really. Could it be my appearance? Now, that would be shallow!

Also, I did not limit this to in world. The lasts 2-3 months I tried to connect with others on forums, but even that seems difficult.

Time zones then maybe? This week, when at home being ill, I have had trouble sleeping at night, so went online on for me unusual hours. Did not make any difference though. I keep being the wallflower.

I am not looking for romance, just nice people to chat with every now and then, maybe develop some friendships.

Maybe I need to go to some online dating service for avatars…sigh.

    I hear you. I find myself back to near nOObness these days, without the duck walk. I don’t think dance clubs are the best places to meet people. I am not sure where the best places are, though, so if you come up with some…
    At least in the short term I’m finding my new adventures in blogging to be a sort of springboard for me to go outside of my comfort zones. That and a silly incident of telling off the sim owner of the place I frequented for about a year and ooopsies, getting banned!
