Hello, fellow personal developers!!!

I wanted to start a new thread on the topic of friendship, which I think many of us agree is a crucial one. It is interesting to see, how with the emergence of social networking sites (MySpace, etc) people make more and more online friends and less real ones.
From a personla perspective, I can definitly relate. I have a lot of online friends and none real-life friends. Of course, this is the point where we have to define our therms - I personally define friend as a person who deeply cares about you and is willig to go out of their way for your sake. Other people that i am just friendly with I deine as aquaintances. Personally, I have a lot of aquantances, but none real friends. In my opinion, alot of people can relate. Some are naturally shy and have trouble meeting new people. Others (like me) have n problem meeting new people, but are just having trouble developing a great friendship relationship. So, I guess my question is - How can one forge meaningful friendships?

Thanks for reading.
