I am really looking forward to this weekend. I have arranged to take my friend Pete out for a few beers. His wife left him a year ago and since then he has hardly ventured out of the house. He obviously still misses her a lot but I’ve told him that he really needs to go out and meet someone new, even if it is only for friendship. One of the hardest things about splitting up for him is the loss of female contact. Pete has been trying to fill the gap by having phone sex. He does it because he likes the sound of a woman’s voice and it makes him feel wanted but I think I will try to get him to talk to some of the women who are in the pubs at the weekend. There are quite a few single ladies that I know who might be interested in him. Whatever happens, I’m sure we’ll both have a really good time.
