I’ve made no bones about the fact that I’m a bit under the weather at the moment and not at my shiny jovial best, which has led to a conversation with a good friend. My good friend thinks that I should go and meet people, however I don’t believe that many on fab would meet someone that’s less than happy.
My question therefore is, would you meet someone to help cheer them up? Is it a dealbreaker for you if a person is in a lower mood?
Thoughts folks… |

Meet to help cheer someone up, of course!
If you’re using ‘cheer someone up’ to mean ‘pityfuck’ then no; been on the receiving end of too many of those and trust me, they do NOT cheer you up  |

We’ve chatted in the past Tea man and if I was local to you I’d happily meet up
Fir a coffee or a pint, you’re a great guy abd I think we could definitely chew the fat over a few brews

Sorry, it wasn’t intended to insinuate you were; just clarifying for others!  |

Yes, but I wouldn’t see it as a pity party to cheer someone up, it would just be a natural result of hanging out with people.
If you want a therapy session to determine why your mood is the way it is, you'd be better off paying for one. |

Well I am in a similar situation so the answer is, of course I would meet.
I've actually just tried something like this on the back of someone's Facebook post but it didn't come to anything. |

Yes definitely, they're a friend (or friend in the making) and just spending time with them could work wonders (as long as I had the capacity to be there for someone in that way).
In terms of sex, I'd probably be a bit cautious, it depends on why they are upset really and what my relationship is like with them. |

Somebody I didn't know? No, I don't think I would if I'm being honest.
Someone that I know and like? Absolutely, I'd offer to go for a coffee/walk/or some other fun activity with them, to either give them a chance to talk if they want to, or to give them something different for their thoughts to focus on. |

Yeah I'll chat and meet anyone for a cuppa social and many have turned into therapy chats about whatever random stuff is in our minds, it's good to open up to non judgemental strangers, takes the pressure off |

Yes, this ^^
Some things I find I simply can’t talk about with friends or family. |
