It seems that as we grow older. I find that I am growing apart from certain friends.

 

I don't know if its me or what. I find that if I am not on a deep introsepctive level with a friend inwhich we talk about deep things going on in our lives. I realy can't hang with them for too long/or the conversation feels strained after awhile.

 

I just can't talk about TV/Movies/Video Games.

 

Then again. I have married friends that I seem to really click with and there is no problem connecting.

 

Why do you think that some relationships thrive and some die out?

Without knowing your gender, which makes a big difference in how casual or intimate friendships usually are, I can't say.

This is a fact of life, I've come to realize. I'm not even old, and I've found that there will be a core group of friends you'll have if you're lucky. Most will be acquaintances.

 

The best one can do is to continue finding new friends. The world is a big place, with so many people to meet and be with. But I don't see any of this as something an issue. It only makes those special bonds and moments with people all the more valuable.

Jon. I don't mind being Acquaintance with people and I know people like that already.

 

A friendship to me is a relationship with either gender where you interact on a regular basis. At least within a 2 month basis. An Acquaintance is a person where you can talk to when you run into each other, yet you don't set aside times to get together.

 

When look through my phone. I basically have 18 friends. With 2 of them turning into acquaintances. I guess I like to run a tight ship. I don't like to have someone as a friend and only interact with them once a year and it be done through facebook/txt.
