I know this may seem conceited and I expect to get flamed but I feel lonely and although I have female friends, they don't seem to want to get close to me
I am not vain or 'big headed'. I have been told I am pretty and I used to get a lot of male attention when I was younger, but actually I don't have much confidence in myself.
Sometimes I feel like friends partners are flirting with me, even though I am sure I don't openly give out those vibes. I am chatty and open, but not a flirt. I have a happy marriage to my DH, who feels women may feel threatened or be jealous of my looks
Seeing this written down makes me cringe as it makes me sound so vain and full of myself. I just would like some close friends, who I can meet regularly and confide in. Of course it may be other things hindering my ability to make such friends but I do wonder. Women can be competitive and I have often found men easier to get on with. Actually DH was my 'best friend' before we became a couple. He still is but I need company when he is at work
