Do you ever get lonely?

I don't, but I have a few friends (mostly women) that complain about being lonely all the time.

I actually am very happy to be on my own just relaxing, reading a book, or whatever and I never feel lonely.

How about you?

I don't have a problem with being alone, but not seeing my family all that often can bring some loneliness.
 
Occasionally. I live by myself, my friends are about 2 hours away, and my coworkers are all a good bit older than me. But I visit my friends several times a month, so it's not too bad.
 
its normal to feel that way now and again. Especially when there are activites you want to do but won't do alone. For example the Big E was just going on......I would have liked to probably go but its not something i'd go to with my guy friends its more a couple activity for me.
 
I did from time to time when I was single. Now I'm married with two kids and am generally willing to kill for some "alone" time. I love my family, but I've found I absolutely require alone time.

Yeah, this is huge, I wish I would have realized it earlier in life.

I am a very solitary person, so I have not ever felt lonely. I actually seek out "alone time" so that I can do whatever I want, without personal interaction. I am going to spend the end of this week on my own in Vancouver and can hardly wait to leave the office tomorrow so the alone time can start.

I love my iPod, so I can walk down the street and feel disconnected from the people around me.

I usually eat my lunch alone.

I hate the holidays because we are expected to spend so much time with our extended family.

I do love my family and appreciate most of the time we spend together, and luckily my wife now seems to understand my need for solitude, but in the past it has been a problem.
 
I've been in (yet another) long distance relationship for the past year or so. Along with having to deal with my heart attack on my own this summer, I can definitely say that I get lonely on occasion. The good news is that this situation is about to be remedied, as I'm flying into Chicago next week to bring my SO back here to live with me.

I think you should give them some much needed companionship. Maybe make them some waffles. Then break out the syrup.

As to the actual question, only at certain times.

I will actually be doing exactly that this weekend; waffles with butter & maple syrup and some bacon on the side. I can hardly wait.

I saw pancakes and waffles and voted for that option. Didn't actually process the statement, as I enjoy eating both.

However, french toast is better than both waffles and pancakes.
 
Never. I've moved to random cities on multiple occasions, each time knowing not a single person. Loneliness never struck me. I know it's cliche, but I feel as though I've never had enough time to feel lonely; I've always had something going on.
