Is there anyone around my age? 18-22 hope to hear back from some

What, you mean that a twenty-something that crawls through an internet forum looking for friends to fill his social calendar beyond the reality of his personal existence doesn't want to be my bestest friend? What shall I do now?

i didnt even say or talk about love or dating. You shouldn't make assumptions. I am here to talk young adults that are close to my age that are Disney fans. Not trying be rude either just stating the facts....

It would be nice to find friends or my happily ever after on a Disney Dating site that would be cool. Hopefully i will make friends on here that are fellow Disney World Fans.

Perhaps this is what caused me to make an assumption?

Okay, I'll bite. I have been watching the games and yes, I'm enjoying them. I actually root for the AL team in the WS (this year once the Cubs were out) unless it's the Yankees. Go Royals.

Wow, I see someone really needs to get out and experience life, and I don't think this is the right forum for them.

Sorry, as a young 20-year-old woman, that is exactly how it comes across.

Not trying to be mean, but if you're just looking to make friends, there are a lot of really cool adults here that are well-worth your time, and they might be much older than you. I've met a few young people on here, but most of my friends on here are much older than me. As is the case IRL with me. I think you'll find that if you limit your friends to a specific age group, you'll miss out on the opportunity to meet some really cool people and have really cool friendships. And in the process, you might find some younger people as well.

Nice post, Star Wars Girl.

I find that people who actually "experience life" ... encounter people of a variety of ages. I don't know anyone who experiences life solely interacting with people their own age. Even in the college bubble, there are people outside of the 18-22 age group (professors, cleaning staff, mechanical engineers, coaches), with whom they might find a value in friendship as well.

Also, can you imagine experiencing WDW without ANY kids or grandparents around? Might be fun for while, but something integral would be missing.

In truth I understand wanting sometimes to hang out with people in similar life experiences. They might "understand you" quickly. But first, this would not be the best place for that, given what this site is about. But second, I think you can find, as others have said, that being so limited can cause you to miss out on a great friendship.

If you have never seen it, download and watch the movie, On Golden Pond. It is a great, great film. And it has a lot to say about the relationships among generations -- and how great friendships can come from them. Its lead actors (Henry Fonda and Kathryn Hepburn) won Oscars for a reason. Check it out if you have not. [And yes, Star Wars Girl, that is a hint for the other thread...].
