I am the oldest, with two brothers (we are all two years apart), and several boy cousins we lived close to when we were smaller. I was a Tomboy & just preferred to talk to boys, then teen boys, then men. My Ex was in the Army & I worked for Civil Service for The Army, so we were around more men. I never felt the need to have a girlfriend, so don't feel alone. We didn't stay in touch with friends from the military, so now I have a few women friends that I've done sewing for, but not on a friendship basis. I live close to my Son & his family.
