This story connected with me, even though I am definitely not the intended audience. I am a late 30's single male. For the past 20 years I have found it a massive challenge to make and more so keep friends. In the past two months I have attempted to connect with three different people who have been friends over the time only to have each progressively cancel the time we made. It is very much a challenge to find people who have a similar group of interests and to manage to make the time for each other to be friends.
