[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 1493414, member: 13732"] I don't know if this is really advice, more like comments on my own train of thought as I read your post. I game with 3 groups, more or less. 1 group is my friends. The other group is people who I started hanging out with just for gaming and have gradually started hanging out with for more social events. And the third group is JUST to game with, though I have swung by once when the DM was feeling burned out and they wanted a movie night, (they watched the Firefly DVD's so that was too good to pass up). There is some overlap in these groups. Some of those in the second group (gaming/friends group) are also in the JUST gaming group. The interesting thing is I'd never expect the JUST gaming group to get together with friends gaming group and would probably be uncomfortable because the friends are much more likely to say something I'd think was inappropriate or tell them some personal info about me that I'd just as soon forget about. Upon rereading that it certainly doesn't look like advice, but here is my next thought. Online communication, in whatever form is often easier but not necessarily 'better'. Without the inflection in your voice and facial expressions, what you might think is a reasonable online sentence can be completely different for the person on the other end. But I wouldn't give up and it sounds like you aren't. There are more gamers out there and who knows, you might find a group that fits you like a glove. Let us know when you do find another group to game with. :) [/QUOTE]
