Generally, we come across many people in our daily lives. We find some very attractive and some boring.Even though we find some attractive, they cannot be friends.So just think about how many new friends do you make in an year.I make some 10 good friends every year. and some 20 normal friends every month. I work in bank, so I get know more people. What about you ? Do you make friends often?

singuri: You are working in a bank and hence every day you will come across new customers and you can make friendship with them. similarly those who are working in service oriented establishments will get more opportunity. I am a freelance teacher. I do come across new people every day. But they are too young. Even then every day one or two students make friendship for guidance.

I do agree that I will get more opportunities in bank. But maintaining relations with people with people is more important. I do that with every customer of the bank. In the process some become good friends of mine. Eve though , people are too young, you can still maintain good relations with them.

Wow! You have only one best friend for almost seven years. Nice to hear that. I do agree that some times you face trouble with new ones. At the same time you will also get good friends. Why don't you do that?

Friend are friends only. But some are close to us, with whom we must be contact at least once in a day. I am running a shop. Any person who visit two or three time is like friend. We shake hand when we meet or pass a smile. Indeed every person who is not my enemy is like a friend.

Not lately although I have quite a few people that are going to be in that friend zone before too long. Trust tends to be something that is earned over a sizable amount of time with me in many ways. However there are times where people that I get along with could evolve right into friendship, as we move more and more through the amount of time. Or we'll just remain cordial. We'll just have a few nice words, really not saying much of anything to each other, just, hi, how are you doing, and all that. Perhaps one day we will be friends, or just rather good acquaintances. The crossover can be made rather quickly. Anything is in fact possible.

Hi Singuri, Yes. I do make friends anytime and anywhere. I normally chill when I am so tired from work. Often times I hang out alone. Being a regular customer of a certain place, I came to meet other regular customers who would eventually become my friends. later, instead of sitting in different tables we would be all sitting together every time we meet. So I don't visit my favorite hang out anymore because I found new company.

I keep quality friends rather than of quantity. Each person has its each distinct behaviour wherein some you find interesting and other not. But sometimes those that are not interesting just needs to perk-up in matter ticking the right topic of discussion. Each person you bump into intially becomes an aquaintances until it level up to friendship. Time will tell whom of them are worth keeping until the few are left

Yeah I did make new friends. Just always wear a smile on your face. As what they said: Smile and win some friends. Good friends are rare to find and if you find one, treasure all the moments that you shared. Friends come and go, and it's so nice to remember friends with their good memories and good deeds than having a friend who turned to be an enemy in the end. Happy mylotting!

I think it is not that easy to find a friend. For me friends are those people whom we really trust with and not those random people that we met or those people that we met in a circumstance and have a great time with. For me, friendship is built slowly not for an instant that we meet people. I can agree to you that we can meet a lot of good people in a year that we could share interest with.
