I went through a difficult breakup and was extremely lonely. I posted a flyer in NYC that said, "Call me. (347) 469-3173". People took pictures of my flyer and put it on the net. I've received over 60,000 calls and texts. Met amazing people all over the world. People say to me all the time, "So you're not lonely anymore?" I am less lonely. This crazy idea actually worked. This blog consists of some of these conversations.

Jeff, One Lonely Guy

Anonymous asked: hey jeff! your site looks different today. what's up with that? -a

To tell you the truth, I got tired of the blandness of the old theme. I want some color, some lines/graphics. If you have any suggestions, please send on. I’m Tumblr illiterate.

Anonymous asked: Wow, I don't know what criteria you use to actually answer people desperate enough to reach out to you. Even though the email I sent you four days ago indicated that I understood that if you were unable to respond, I assumed that you actually took this seriously. I swallowed all my pride in order to be ignored. Thank you.

Hey! Sorry, for the delay. I’m going in order of received. I’ve received over 6,000 responses since that CBS segment aired last week. I’m getting back to people in the order they called/texted/emailed. For some people, it will be weeks. I have 14 hours of voice mails to sift through. I hope you are well. If you desperately need to speak with me, text me or call me and state this and I will get back as soon as I can.

I’m ok, I suppose. Had one of those not alone but still alone nights last night. Today I’m trying to figure out what I can do to keep my son occupied this summer. He’ll be going to my folks’ house for part of the summer, but I still have at least six weeks to keep him busy. I have to figure out what to do with myself while he’s gone.

I miss him. We were together 13 years. I think he is exploring to get even.

Oh ok but do you know that I am a transsexual and a black one at that? You got a problem with that or you cool with it?

As a single gal who just had a string of bad dates, it is hard to admit you are lonely. I hate being sick by myself.

My boyfriend’s depression is a permanent thing, unless someone works a miracle. I’ve just accepted that it’s part of him. Don’t get me wrong, I want him to get better. But if he doesn’t, which is the most likely outcome, it doesn’t change my love for him.

Hmmm … 36, living alone in Calgary Alberta. Only child of a single mom. I’m used to being alone … I’m never really “lonely” but anxiety strikes when I think of my mom dying. She’s healthy now and turning 66. I haven’t found a good man to settle with and start a family. Mom got really sick a few years back and she was hooked up to all that stuff in the ICU. She prayed to stay alive because I didn’t have someone yet … she couldn’t leave me. It broke my heart. What a way to start a morning, talking about this LOL

Hi. I’m Jacob from LA. I’m 49yo, gay, living and working in Santa Monica. I didn’t think I was a loser but I’ve never had a relationship work out. I have a job as a CFO. I have two homes. Two cars. Good friends. But lately I just go home after work. Eat watch tv. Sometimes I do a jigsaw puzzle. I’ve run ads on Craigslist just to find friends to do things on weekends. Anyway I’d like to talk with you.
