Today, my boyfriend bought me Cards Against Humanity because he thinks it would give me some motivation to make friends since I only have one and need three to play. Sad thing is, he's right. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my boyfriend, who loves board games, to give me advice on a board game I'm making. I ended up crying in the fetal position. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML
Today, I had an art class with my girlfriend. The teacher assigned "anti-cards", or cards for unusual or bad occasions. My girlfriend decided to make a "break-up" card, and I helped her write the poem inside it. After class, she gave it to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML
Today, after weeks of my yelling, my boyfriend finally listened and got a hobby. Instead of getting into something sensible like martial arts, he chose tabletop gaming. Now I have to listen to hours of boring stories about pretend fantasy worlds, and admit to everyone that my boyfriend is a nerd. FML
Today, I spent 3 hours making a birthday card for my boyfriend, delicately cutting each letter out of printed coloured paper. He used it as a coffee coaster. FML
Today, my boyfriend's obsession with card tricks reached a new low. He barged into the bathroom while I was taking a crap and asked me to pick a card. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home, complaining about not having enough money for bills. He then pulled a stack of lottery tickets out of his bag, saying, "I hope one of these wins." FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me as a friend to one of his friends. FML

I see no problem with having one friend. I'd rather have one real friend than 100 fake friends.

If there's one game that can bring people together, it would be CAH. Plus, it's the thought that counts, right?

I don't know why, but this reminds me of Math's SOH-CAH-TOA with triangles...

Solitude by one's own decision is a blessing, solitude by other people's decision is a curse.

i agree, it should be all about quality and not quantity
DeadxManxWalking 27
agreed but how about those "hi" friends, the ones you know a little about but are genuinely friendly with you?

#15. I call those people acquaintances.

You got that right. or in my case 4 to five online friends rather then one real life friend that sucks your soul out like a succubus.

Do you mean that your boyfriend is your only friend, or that you have one besides him? If it's the latter, then you have two :) If you are not sure where to start, have your boyfriend/current friend invite a friend or two to hang out with you, maybe you will hit it off with them as well. Do you have any acquaintances that you might like to get to know better? Strike up a conversation with them ("How's it going?" is usually a safe, effective starter). Join or get involved in groups you are interested in, you'll have something in common with the other people there. These might not lead to instant friends, but should help when practiced regularly. Don't blame your boyfriend, my guess is he cares about you :)

Sometimes, we use imaginary people to fill in. My wife and I named him Bob. Bob kicks ass.

There's a rule for a dummy hand named 'Rando Calrissian' Rando is always competitive.

I'm pretty sure you can play it online with and against randoms. :D

He wasted his money, cards against humanity is free online.

It sounds like her boyfriend bought the game for the intent of op making friends, which isn't possible with the online version

and it's more fun sitting around a table with friends sharing the joy.

The free online version that the poster is talking about is the downloadable printable card set. To play with real life friends at a real life table.

Yeah, but that's even lamer than playing online. Playing with shitty printer paper cutouts just feels wrong.
