Thanks Wolf and Ralph. Great posts.
I get the point about female friends... it is just it is easy to say but harder to actually put in to practice.... but I like hard. Give a sense of accomplishment
Generally meeting new people, becoming friends in a more than temporary way isn't that easy (for me at least). It's easy to meet people but often harder to build a true friendship there.
My friends
- old friends from school and university (all living far away - i see them every month or so)
- friends from work (we all work from home in different cities but communicate online everyday and meet once a month or so)
- random people I have met who become firm friends - got two great (male) friends who I can always trust although one is very busy with work and gf at the moment
- friends from my volunteer group - know lots of people there... but because we all work different shifts don't know so many so well
I think looking at that one thing to do in the future would be to try and be better friends with people at my volunteer group. There is one girl i really like there... but I don't want to make things awkward with here. so no idea if she is single or how to progress things.
Apart from that how do you magic up female friends?
