i have alot of friends and i am not a picky in terms of choosing them. aslong as they are good and we've got the same interest its all right with me. but sometimes you can choose who are you going to be with right? because obviously some are not good influence for us. it is so easy to meet a friend but it is hard to be one. for sure people out there are more picky than me. i also try to consider the background and the personality of the person before i called him friend. there are different kind of friends. what about you? what kind of friend are you?

This is where I have a problem. How does one MAKE a friend when you are out of school. I would love tons of girlfriends, but besides "asking one out", how does one move from drop-off/pick-up small talk at day care? I think it is easy to be my friend. I love to do things -- ANYTHING -- so how do I find friends?

Hi. I really don't choose my friends. I mean, if I met someone along the way and I like her attitude and personality then it's alright if we become friends or acquaintance though I admit that there are peeps that I can't really get along with due to lack/not the same of/interest. Cheers!

Hello, chaolai. I don't. I usually just meet people and I start having conversations. If the person feels comfortable around me we end up becoming friends. Otherwise we don't. It's not like if I chose. It just happens, in a way. I just avoid people who want to make me feel bad or people that likes to harm others. I don't match with them. I usually end up becoming friends with good people. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

i make a lot of friends most of the time. the only friends i don't like are the ones that irritate me. apart from that am cool with anyone. i may not really hang out with those friends that don't really contribute positively to my life, but they still going to be my friends regardless.

I choose my friends base on their attitudes and interest.I am the type of person who didn't make friends easily. I first make observations of certain person and if I see to it that we both share same interest and he or she is easy to get along with, then I start to make friendship with him or her.There are certain types of people and from the way they interact with others, we can see somehow if you can get along with him or her easily.There are some persons who just want rich friends. There are some persons who just want a good looking friend.And there are also some who just wants an intelligent friend. I am just the type of person who wants a sincere, simple and true friend that I can lean on especially if I am down.I just want a "real" person as a friend. Someone who may or may not be rich, may or may not be good looking, may or may not be that intelligent, but someone who has a heart and knows what real friendship means.

Yes, you are right, we do have different preferences especially when choosing a friend. Because for me, your friends reflects what kind of person you are! ANd Birds of the same feathers flocks together. In my case, I choose to make friends to those who have the same interest with me so that we can share different things withour making an argue because we do both like that interests. :-) happy posting!

hi friend i like this discussion..i am easy going type..i do have friends of easy going..i hope everybody should have one..whatever happen to us or whatever wavering in our mind can be discussed with our friends but not with our family or with any others..whenever we are down or upset,friend will make us happy by giving moral support..that makes the friendship great..friends should be helpful and moral supported that friendship never disappears..friendship and love will exist till the last breath of an organism exists in this world..
