Not at T-G or Christmas or even NY's eve...but one July 4th I spend the entire weekend online with a e-buddy who was at the beach and 'downed' due to a broken ankle. She and I traded emails and IM's the entire weekend and it was just like being there in person. We had a great time, gabbing and gossipying.

Hmm thats beautiful difficult! possibly you will have to transfer from your discipline considering it seems like an age care facility hehe! you cant anticipate to satisfy anyone on-line cuz it takes the intimacy out of the connection. I reccomend that you just cross someplace wherein there are hundreds of thousands of women on a holiday and do each and every factor u can LOL. because youve been by myself for 12 years, its good valued at the money spent! =] As for the inexperience, the one approach you get higher is by means of working towards. There isn't any effortless answer. in the event you cross someplace wherein there are tons of women for a couple of months possibly this might provide you the coaching you wish to have. But actually you simply must be urself and recognize that believe is the predominant challenge in a healthful dating! desire this is helping =]

Yes, most definitely. Some are alone because they are hurting, or have no family left here. To many, it might seem a hardship or a really huge sacrifice, maybe even a stupidity, to lay one's own holiday plans aside for time spent giving love to someone online who is sorrowing...but to give the gift of real love, grace, caring and ministering/prayer, is to give the gift of the Christ Child to someone whose heart may be more broken than words can express.
Some people choose to remove themselves from holidays and prefer to be alone; if you or these others are planning a solo holiday,and have a group of online friends you'd like to join, I see nothing at all wrong with that. It could turn out to be a source of joy and laughter and companionship for all of you. I myself, have a particular group of very funny, wonderful, Christ-centered women with whom I correspond reguarly...in particular I have an online sister I've never met in person..yet, I must admit that I cannot think of ANY holiday that passes where she is not one of the most important parts of my day! I know her well and she knows me, and there is trust there because Jesus is at the core of the relationship...He brought us together in prayer and witnessing and has kept us together through thick and thin. A holiday spent without her in it would be empty to me. She is a gift from the Lord Himself and I cherish her.
If,on the other hand, a person goes to people online in order to not have to face real people, or to avoid/escape a person or situation in his/her real life, then that's a whole new bag of beans.
My original advice stands: If you feel God blessing this move, and it does not interfere with your living a healthy life with the real people around you...if it will bless someone else who's alone and allow you to give of yourself freely and without expectation of return, then follow God's leading and enjoy each other's company. Be in prayer about it OFTEN. And do not avoid reality by "escaping to the Internet". "The One who has called you is FAITHFUL and HE WILL DO IT" says II Thess. 5:23...lean on HIS understanding. It won't fail you!

Before we got our little daughter, I did a couple of times. My hubby is a truck driver and didn't always make it home for Thanksgiving.
The one day I spent most of the day with people online on a message board I frequented that REALLY sticks in my mind is September 11, 2001. They helped keep me from going nuts, and I hope I was able to help them a little, too.

This sounds like a lovely idea. I've never done that as we are new to the internet at our house. Where I live a several restaurants have big turkey dinners free for anyone who is alone and take donations only if you can afford it. They insist it is their way of giving back to the community.

I am alone, so hopefully, I will stay connected to people on Yahoo Q&A during the holidays.Maybe we could start a Group called "Home Alone on the Holidays" and communicate on there.Just a thought.

One Easter years ago. My husband had to work that day and I went on line out of boredom. Everyone (including me) seemed down in the dumps that day.

Haven't thought about it -- just started using this "talking" part of my computer this year.
