MeadowFlower Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 What are some places and ways that one can make a friendship? Not heaps of friends, just one loyal, real friendship. Link to post Share on other sites
SummerDreams Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 According to your hobbies you can find places where people do these hobbies (like swimming in swimming pools, dancing in dancing studios etc). There you will meet people with the same hobby (= instant conversation) and by time you can arrange meetings and meet them and their friends. This way there is a big chance you will make serious friendships. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Foxhall Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 you would have to join an activity and be prepared to commit to it-like attend once a week for about 6 months to a year, herbal medicine group possibly- there can be nice people at that type of thing, but whatever you are interested in, I think its usually easier for girls to make friends too so surely you will find at least one good friend after 6 months, the main thing is that you keep going with the activity, if for instance the social dynamic is not happening after one month, be prepared to keep going another two months,dont get disheartened too easily, stay around for a while. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SummerDreams Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I used to go to a dance group and there you can't NOT make friends because everyone knows each other after a while, they go afterwards to eat or drink something etc. I made a friend there once upon a time but I'm a person who doesn't want friends so I ghosted her (shame on me, I know). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ellener Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Friendships need to be fairly flexible in my city, it's huge and almost no one enjoys driving miles in the traffic to meet up, so I find niche places in my neighbourhood to hang out or get involved. The 'one loyal friendship' evolves over time but in my experience that 'bff' stuff is still flexible- people get busy in their own lives, their own heads, and that hanging out every day might go on for a while but then change. Being in a position to see people a lot, like a group or church or volunteer/job situation helps with closeness but have you ever seen that movie 'Peter's Friends'? They are a close-knit bunch who dip in and out of each other's lives over several decades. I did have one adult friend I was inseparable with for a few years but it wasn't a very healthy relationship looking back, over-involved.
