Ideas on how to make friends

[Red Pill]

Whenever I'm in a situation where I meet someone I think I'd like as a friend and I wanna hang out with them more (like outside work or school) I kinda wait for an opportunity to ask them to do something.

Like if the conversation gets started about movies. You could start talking about which movies are out and what looks good and if you discover there's something out y'all both wanna see, then just be like, "We should see that!"

There's lots of little ways to invite someone out. You could do it for drinks or coffee, too. Or if you're talking about what you did that weekend and that person expresses interest, you could just say "Yea it's fun, you should come next time!"

That's just how I do it. Hope that helps a little!

edit: I'm kinda at a dry spell in my life as well, if that helps to know you're not alone. I don't have many friends at all these days and I've never in my life had someone I consider a "best friend." I'd be willing to do lots for people but they wouldn't be willing to do the same. Great friends are extremely rare and very hard to come by!

Apparently! I never knew that. Dang.

Yeah, after thinking about this and reading these nice ideas, it seems that this is the scary part. I didn't have to try to make friends before- they had to be my friend. Now they don't. I don't think I am a jerk or anything- but you never know!!

Feel the fear, and do it anyway. What have you got to lose? ^_^

Not any friends that's for sure!
I will just have to get brave and give it a try. Now to find a victim.. errr I mean potential friend.

If I could ever get out to Vegas Sweetheart,
I'd be your friend. :beach:

My friends are all online.

Well, we have plenty of houses for sale here... And cheap too! Now, finding a job- that's another thing...
But if you come, we can be in person friends!

I will be coming to Las Vegas October 20th thru the 26th. The main Scuba Trade show, DEMA will be there.

Yeah. My Vegas window may have closed on me already.
If only I'd been who I am now,
10-15 years ago...

*sigh

but I'm older now,
and I here the whole lounge thing has been rather on the decline.

Still I have to get out of this cold climate.
I hate it.

Orlando maybe?
Troublemane would be my instant friend there.

I want an instant friend list from all you RFers that live in warm (ie non cold) climates,
where a purple haired musician could make a living.

Maybe we can meet up some where. Husband and I like to eat, or we could see the sites or meet for drinks if you like. I don't know what DEMA is.

Well still, if you come for a visit.... And besides, if there is market for something, its sure to sell in Vegas. Gees, the star Trek thing just closed, and we have a Liberace museum!!

 

[blackout]

Well if it is still the plan that I go scope Vegas out in the Spring...
you will be a PRIMARY stop on my list. :hug:

Maybe you could help show me around a bit even!
That would be really nice.
And I would appreciate it oodles.

Sure... I am sure most of my dinners will be with the ScubaBoard Crew, but I plan to be there a day or so after everyone leaves.

DEMA stands for the Dive Equipment and Marketing Association. LOTS of resorts will be there as well as manufacturers. It is always fun!
