Friends, where do you get them?

Bumpin in My Trunk

So in highschool I had my group of friends and then my best friend. But then my best friend moved to another state and he didn't even bother to keep in touch with me. So much for a best friend. My group of friends all started drifting away due to natural causes such as work, other friends, other classes, different life goals, different universities. Come graduation, we all just sorta disappear. I still kept in touch with some friends but the communication just got smaller and smaller. It was made worse by the fact I found a new girl and fell madly in love with her. She made me not realize I was actually alone.

 

Ever since the breakup with this girl, which is a completely different story, I've tried to get back in touch with some friends. Some have responded, others didn't and that's all fine with me. But I'm missing how friendship was. Yes we would see each other at school everyday but at least we would talk during the weekday and weekend. We would hangout and talk.

 

So the question goes back to the title. Where do you get friends, or just group of friends?

You get friends when you have a certain thing or quality you can both benefit from and the same goes for them too.

 

Basically something in common that can help move your life forward.

 

For example you could make a friend because he/she is a really good defensive player in a video game, while you are a very good offensive player. You both benefit, that's the key.

Just get involved in a lot of things.

 

Making friends is way easier than doing well with women. So if you can get a girlfriend, you can make a friend.

I have to say that language classes are a great source of making friends for me. Having conversations is a big part of it. The place I am going to now has 14 people in one class so you get to know everyone. You can study here for up to 5 years if you want to although it does have a big dropout rate.
