Is "Friendship making" an ART or talent

How do people make friends easily. It's tough for me to make friends in a single meeting. I need time to settle down to a friendship and then keep it alive for ever.

friendship as an art- yes,it is an art because it is creating something beautiful out of nothing in particular.you met a person,you talk and find comfortable with each other.or maybe you have something in common like things you love to do and things you hate most.out of that,you started creating friendship without even knowing it. friendship as a talent- yes,it is a talent because you have the ability to interact to another human being with a character.you know how to respect its opinion,give appropriate reaction on every emotion you encounter.that is the difference of humans to other living organisms here on earth,to be humane.but i guess one more thing is,friendship is also a decision.you decide on it.whether to let it grow in your heart or uproot it if you're starting feel uneasy with your relationship.you decide who stays in your ship to go along with you in your sailing and who jumps off to the water.it's not necessarily that on the first meeting you gradually find a friend.it's a process.like a child,he/she needs to learn how to crawl first before starting to walk and run finally.this is helpful in managing to balance his/her weight to avoid stumbling down.we may find some people who makes friends easily.well,that's good.but it doesn't mean they trust those guys easily.maybe in some way,they're trying to classify them as someone they met, they knew by name,a childhood friend, or a real friend.to be a friend or accepting a friend means, you are giving that friend of yours a piece of right to get involve in your life and be a part of it.it's good if you find time to settle down in friendship.because of all ships that we will ride on,it's the friendship that survives and reach the other port safe and sound...did i talk to much?hahahaha..have a nice day,my friend.

friendship is talent as well as art but more than that it is understanding between emotions and attitude of two hearts. people likes each others' attitude friendship is an art of personality to some extent because, you have to change your self according to your friends attitude and hobbies, so you must know art of sacrifice. Also it is talent because, you must have talent to choose your friends of your kind but more than art and talent it is understanding

I am very comfortable. I ask anyone whom I like, here in mylot for adding as a friend. And, mostly I am accepted. Never had I been rejected . i have not kept track of those who really are serious about friendship. But, I am very communicative, and I keep in touch with most of the friends. GOODLUCK. i WISH, I would be given the honor of your FRIENDSHIP. thankkyou.

Hi friend,Its easy for some people to make friends soon.Even I fall under the category of not being able to make friends easily.I take a long time to get close to any kind of people .Even after developing a friendship I never go very close to them .As I feel that we should keep up a certain distance in relationships as whoever it is when we get too very close misunderstandings are certain to happen.That would lead to the breaking up of friendship ,so the talent here is to maintain the friendship till the end and friendship making is not an important talent or art.We need to maintain.Thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

It's both. However, it is not impossible to do so without one of them. With a twist of fate, you can get one without both! Personally, you must be able to show your sincerity, and make that person understand your sincerity and don't be afraid to let him/her know. If you want to be friends, tell them straight on. I have never rejected anyone who approached me to become friends with me~ :)
