Who would like a BFPB...but is scared of rejection and/or

crazies?
That is the only thing that holds me back. My labor buddy was perfectly nice, we still talk on the boards, but nowhere else. She isn't crazy or rejectful, we just have nothing in common.

::raises hand::
It's the crazies that scare me!
Exactly.
::raises hand::
I agree with all of the PPs, I am totally scared of crazies and rejection wouldn't feel too good either
ETA: elaboration on my answer

Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.

def. scared of the crazies
All 3 of my BFPBs are pregnant (see siggy). I am nothing but thrilled for them, and they are nothing but empathetic and encouraging to me.
ETA: Although I understand where you're coming from, and I probably had the same doubts in the beginning as well..
Me! I also am afraid I would be a bad buddy. Life tends to get in the way, you know?
me me me! it's the crazies!
I was lucky enough when I got mchupie
But she is on 1st tri now (yahoo!) and I get lonely 
But thankfully she is still just an email or page away so we can chat!!
I've been on the fence about BFPB since I got here. I probably would have gone through about 5 of them by now if I had had one.
And yes, it's the crazy people that scare me off.
Dito. To me, that would be like trying to get pregnant when one of your friends is also and one of you gets pregnant while the other is struggling. Hm..no thanks. I try to step back out of myself to look at everyone else's views but I am pretty sure I would just be bitter about it all.
As well you should be!!
ETA: I was watching the Jackie's Pregnant episode this morning. Roseanne bugs me every time when she says she has been trying for 3 months and she would be happier for Jackie if it were her (Rosie) that was pregnant. That bugged me a lot today!
I do this too!!! But more about friends I had before I was married.
IRL, I'm nothing but thrilled for my friends who get pregnant - I've never been one of those people to get all mad about someone else's pregnancy. I guess, being a newbie, I haven't really formed strong relationships on this board yet. Once your relationship goes beyond just the internet, I could totally see how it could become something akin to the pure happiness you feel when a friend IRL gets pregnant.
I hope I'm making sense.
Only bc you live in muffinville!
I saw that one last week and had to roll my eyes. Of course I also rolled my eyes when she had her legs up in the air. Good thing I can't stay annoyed with her!
Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!

I love you
I'm always lurking in the shadows (and I mean that in a very non-creepy way)

this!
But you gotta love the "Oh Dan, you have to sit here on the bed with me and do nothing while me and God create a life" gets me every time!
LOL!
This is me and I am currently TTA until August, so can I even have a BFPB?
You definitely are making sense. This is exactly why it's better to form a bond and naturally become friends (BFPBs, as we call them on here) than try to force something awkward just for the sake of jumping on the band wagon.
And I mean that in a non-snarky way.
*Raises hand*
I'm askeered of the crazies, too.
Definitely scared of the crazies.
But I also don't really see the point of forcing a friendship because the title is cool. If I click with someone, then great! If not, oh well. I need to have more in common with someone than just trying to get pregnant to actually want to be friends.
My BFPB just got her BFP (yeah Tolicakes!!) and I already miss her on TTGP. SOOOO happy for her, but so glad we have other ways to chat!!
Its rejection for me. I would love a BFPB but I don't feel like I am on enough to get to know someone enough that we can share something like that. I was always the kid who was picked last in school, and thats what it kind of feels like in regards to stuff like BFPB or Belly buddies.
Oh Patty don't be afraid of me being crazy! We're practically neighbors!
::peeks in Patty's windows with wine bottle in hand::
Ditto.
Wait wait wait - did I miss j_luvs_r's BFP?? When did she get it? Very excitng!
Me three!
Dangit, I was typing this while peeking into YOUR curtains with a box of wine in tow for when you caught me. Dangit! Next time...
This! It's like sending out invites to a birthday party and no one shows up or, the weird kid that picks their nose and eats it shows up and then you can't get rid of them.
