A Solid Friend-Base

[evolvingnerd]

i was talking to my uncle about some of my problems (he's a champion, kinda like Joey ) and he was suggesting that i make some solid friends

in truth, now that i think about it, i do'nt have any friend i can talk about anything deep with
i'm more the fun guy, but say if i wanted to talk abotu something personal, i only have a few family members who i'd talk to - no friends

so how do you go about creating some solid friends - some real friends

i have heaps of "friends" wherever i go, whom i can always shoot the breeze with, go out drinking with, whatever, but no real friends who i'm truly comfortable with

thanks...

Yeah man, I defintely can relate. Been there myself but now I have some pretty solid friends and it's getting better.

After a long time trying to make good friends I found several ways to do it quickly. Join something you enjoy doing like martial arts, boxing, whatever..it doesn't matter as long it's something you enjoy. You'll be sharing that passion with others who like the same thing so you instantly have something in common to talk about and bond with. From there it's just a matter of being cool with each other inviting each other out when you go places and doing shiet together. You'll naturally become friends. You'll meet their friends and become friends with them, and so on, increasing your social circle. DON'T BE A SOCIAL LEECH!!! You must invite people out to do things as often as they invite you otherwise you're just leeching off them. You'll lose friends that way. If you have no friend then just invite people out to come get some coffee or dinner with ya or whatever.

Another quick way to make friends is to become a social hub. Be the person everyone goes to to find out what's happenin during the week/weekend. Once you're known for this people will constantly be trying to get a hold of you and enjoy being around you cause you always know what's up and where the fun is at. Not only that but you'll have massive social value so girls will be pretty keen on ya.

After doing what I just wrote I now have tons of friends, making more, and a solid base of people I can count on. It took some time but it was more than worth it. As for the girls in my social circle, I made a post in the Mature Man forum about fvcking up a date, if you're interested in hearing more.

Pieces.
