Kirstoski Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 For my background, it might be best to read my other thread. I'm an ex escort. Told my boyfriend, we're ok but I am feeling low. I found my friends were only my "friends" were escorts and they don't want to know. What is the best way to make friends? Link to post Share on other sites
Watercolors Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Best way to make friends is through social networks. I don't know what country you live in. But here in the U.S. we have Meetups. I use various Meetup groups to socially network with people who I have something in common with. That's how I made my friends. I joined a Meetup about going to see black and white movies. So, I met other people who enjoy that activity and made friends from that group. Another Meetup group I belong to is a writing group. So, I made friends with other writers in my community that way. Does your city have Meetups? Or community education or community sports or community groups? You can meet friends through your classes, online or in person. Basically, join groups and take classes that interest you and you will meet other people who share those interests and have that in common with you. Maybe some of those people will be interested in being your friend. You cannot force friendship. It has to happen slowly, and naturally. But you can put yourself in group environments where you'll meet other like-minded people to set up the circumstances for friendship to form. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Foxhall Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 good luck, nice to have genuine supportive friends who will lend a listening ear or be there to join up with, meeting others by chance who also just happen to be at a loose end that can be the best way sounds like you had a lot of fareweather friends, they are no good in the long run diminish your confidence.

d0nnivain Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Join a group. If the pandemic permits, volunteer somewhere doing something you care about. You may also find friends by reaching backwards. Get involved with alumni associations & reconnect with childhood friends. You have a shared history. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Kirstoski Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 33 minutes ago, lovecharts said: you see fading friends or lovers has been difficult for me too for a while but all I can tell is to to take it easy and not think about it. its like improvising as you go on. although you might need to know the signs a person makes when they like you. other than this., you need nothing else I got back from errands, A neighbour from across the street come over and said Hi, we got chatting, She asked if I wanted to go the park for a coffee on Friday. Our direct neighbour, we had a cup of tea over the fence. Which was really nice. Link to post Share on other sites
