Your sig always cracks me up :thumbsup:

you get an F for effort.

to have a friend you have to be a friend. go do something about it.

*sigh...

I hate it when people make arguments like this. It's patently false.

Let's say you have a group of 10 people. None of them are friends, and none of them have any friends. Let's apply your rule.

Let's say that one of these 10 people decides he/she wants a friend.Now remember, none of them are friends YET.

"To have a friend you have to be a friend"

So this person goes and befriends one of these 10 people that have NO friends currently.

Now, TWO of these people now have friends, but only one of them had to try.

Some people make friends without trying.
Some people have to try.
Some people try and fail.

This means a couple of things.
A. People are not trying to befriend the OP.(this can hurt a person pretty bad by itself... if people are out trying to befriend people, you'd think someone would try to befriend me)
B. if the OP is trying and failing(even worse)
C. The OP is not trying.

So, why might people not want to befriend the OP???

1. They might want to, but do not know it yet. The OP is not broadcasting his qualities well.
2. The OP is broadcasting his qualities, but they are not the ones people around him desire.
3. The OP is giving off bad vibes.(depressed, doesn't smile, sulks, whiner, etc. or possibly physical. Think BO.)

In any case, you'll have to make friends with people. People like people who have friends, and so the more you have, the more people will want to be your friend.

Caveat: friends as in hang out buddies, not lifelong friends.

you're making it far too complicated. complicated people don't make good friends.

Join a social club?


You have to go way outside your comfort zone if you want to meet friends.

They're not going to come beating on your closed in self to make friends with you.

It takes two to become friends, just the same as it takes two to have a relationship.

Join a bowling team.

Join a kickball team.

Join a book club.

Go to a LAN party.

Whatever you're into, you can pretty much find social events that bring strangers together.

Edit: you can always do a search for the name of your city followed by social events to find organized social events.

for example Atlanta social events

They have kickball teams??? I thought that game was invented to just bore the crap out of kids in gym class..

College is good for this kind of stuff.

If you're in highschool, wait it out...

If you're already past college, I can't help you cause I'm still in college...

All of my friends that I grew up with have basically moved away (either physically or emotionally) except one or two. Don't be afraid to talk to people man.. Though I wish I could follow my own advice...
