It depends on your situation.  If you have kids then it's so much easier to meet new people.  You just smile when dropping off your child at school.  Or at the local shops, or at your new workplace, etc.\nAfter becoming a little more familiar in whichever environment you're in make small talk.  "Gosh the weather's been weird lately hasn't it?" or "Nice shoes!" or "I can't believe the price of sausages these days.  They used to be a cheap meal!" etc\nWhen a face has become a familiar one and the small talk is going well say "Would you like to grab a coffee/beer/etc?"\nActually that's how I've made friends, but for guys that approach might be a little odd.  Join a gym, or sporting team, or church, or go to the same place on a regular basis (just not a playground unless you have kids...that would be creepy!)\nGood Luck!

Anyone who loves you unconditionally. Sure you all might have your ups and downs, but true friendship always comes through. No relationship with anyone is perfect so you shouldnt expect it to be. I consider myself to be a real friend to anyone who needs one, I hope to get those same feelings returned to me.

Yes, but I want to expand my circle of friends.  I have some that are kind of flaky but sweet, some that are quiet and reserved. I need someone who can get as crazy as I am and spontaneous, likes to travel.

There are many categories of friends first off.\n\nAcquaintance: Someone that you like and say 'Hi" to.  You will have hundreds of these in a lifetime but it never really goes to the next level of friendship.\n\nFriends: You look more into their character, and if you would trust them in your home.  You can trust them to make good decisions.  their is mutual trust and respect.\n\nGood friends: You feel comfortable lending them something important or of value, you encourage each other to do positive things (go to school, follow rules) and discourage each other from negative choices.  You help keep each other out of trouble plus all the characteristics of a "friend" above.\n\nBest friends: All the above plus: Share many interests, demonstrate honesty and integrity. You highly trust each other and keep each other's best intersts at hand.  You usually only have a handful of these.\n\nRomantic friends: Exceptionally trusted people.  You could trust your life to them.  You know they will always do the right thing.  Love may begin here (I didn't say anythying about sex).  \n\nExclusive/Engaged Romantic couple: All the above categories fit for a long period of time, you both want to make a life long commitment to each other.  You consider this person good enough for your younger brother or sister.  \n\nMarried and sexual romantic partners: Only when a relationship has stood the test of time and trust, does it develop to this level.\n\nHope this helps.

do you consider yourself as a friend ?

I like meeting potential relationship partners through friends.  Someone who knows both of you, and feels you have enough in common to date, or at least get to know each other better.

Your number one, and that should always come first!  Friendships can take a turn in either direction at any given time. Job opportunties aren't easily available and when opportunity knocks, open the door!

Reach out and touch someone first and they'll do the rest toward friendships. If old acquaintances leave, make new friends because that's whats life is all about. Diligence, respect and modesty pays off.. Hold on to you for if you can be a friend to yourself first by realizing you're worthy of just being you, you will have begun the ladder of friendship one step at a time. I have full confidence in you. Remember this. Yesterday was a dare to struggle to hold on to the past [acquaintances who called themselves friends], and today is a dare to win[new friends including yourself first, and then others]. I think your life is like a precious jewel that can never be replaced.  Good luck ,much warmth and joy, and much wisdom.

Trustworthy, dependable and fun to be with.\nI get the feeling that you are the kind of person that is easy to get along with, it is what I call a "welcomey" feeling.

Introduce yourself, and start asking them the things that they like doing, and telling them the things that you like.\nYou will either gain a friend, or you won't have anything in common.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.....or lost.

if you are friends wit the person disappear for some few days and see his reaction after that you become closer to him then pull away and see his reaction to that too by doing this you get to know how much he wants to be wot you friends would just comment and brush it off but when he starts to take an interest in you it becomes a little more important where you hve been
