I think it's a gift of god having good friends in these days. It only time that could help you to understand whether you have a good friend or not. You can make friends easily but it's upon them whether it lasts or not. You can only pray for having a good friend.

the question of how to make new but good friends in your life .like easy to reply and easy to do ,but in fact ,making good friends who we can trust each other is really hard .like me ,i'm working from 9:00-5:30 from monday to friday ,then i go home and i don't like to go out on the weekend ,so it's really hard to make new friends ,let alone the good friends .but i think if you want to make such friend ,should join some activities often.

It can be difficult because you really never know who to trust anymore.I used to have a lot of friends well thought they were anyway.But you are right when it comes time for you to relaly need them they are not there for you but you can't count how many times you were there for them when they were in desperate need.It is a sad but true thing.I guess we just have to learn from our mistakes.Sometimes it doesn't pay off to be so kind and then they turn on you.I wish I had an answer for you,but I am at a loss of what to tell you because I have had bad expereince in the past with who I thought were really my true friends.All I can say is Good Luck to you!

Ahhh... true friends are a rare and special gift from God. Yes, there is a certain selfishness in our time here... but since we are all the same selfish there is a kind of bonding in it as well...

Frinds,there are many books and alot of people to teach how to make friends,but I think that all of the techniques have nothing to learn,in fact,friends of the most important thing is intention to pay,your heart will be another motive for someone else to you,intrntion is a high - had all the skills skills.

Friends are all gifts of god.One can make good friends if he is a good friend.Friends are one who can understand your feeling and will help you in the needs.In the present world its very difficult to make good friends.Making good friends depends on your character.So be a good friend to your friends and you will get good friends.May god bless you so that you can get good friends

In my eyes making friends means to be open minded and to listen to the other's sorrows and needs. After that to give a helping hand, if I can give. After that NOT to expect payment, return of help or even gratitude. I have trained it on cats: When they come I give food or caress, if they want to leave I open the door. Normally I end up with active "true friends" less than the number of fingers, but is enough. I couldn't have communication with more than 10 and some of them are "sleeping", that means thousands of kilometers away. By the way: The best friend is kind of virtual: the Lord deep inside my heart.

As afr as I'm concerned, I think the best way to make new but good friends in our life is to be loyal to our friends which will make our friends feel safety and trust.So you should be true to your friends, in this way, your friends will believe in you. I think You can make a lot of good friends beside you,even all over the world. Happy mylot.

Try on this belief: I make new friends all my lifeā€“even when I am well into my hundreds. Notice how time and space open up? When you adopt this belief you tell your mind to develop a script to fulfill it. To make sure the belief sticks, look for examples of people who are always making new friends. They can be great role models.If you are shy, set a goal of learning how to make friends comfortably. Perhaps you can identify some shy people who has a knack for making friends and see how they do it. Another strategy is to become involved in organizations/school groups/college groups in which it is easy to make friends. If you are willing to take a leadership role in an organization making friends is even easier.

It is impossible to be bale to tell if a person you've just met or just known for a couple of weeks will become good friends or not. if you are not a selfish person, not boasting about your money, but helpful and kind, you may have some good friends around you already. If you display your natural quality and they still stick with you, there is a chance that they are sincere. But in time, as you go through different situations and experience you will see which ones are the true friends and which ones are only there when everything OK. I have a lot of friends, but only a few that I call "good friends".

You might tell, but think twice, it is so simple to make new friends. Friends help you in your time. Bunches of friends of need, their selfishness.

I think that making a lot of friends is a good part of you. Maybe you are a cute person in some way. Making a long lasting friends doesn't seems to be an easy task. Friends come and go. Maybe it is because of you and maybe it is because of their personal reasons. Do not become stress because of this. There are billions of human in this earth, I think maybe one or two can become your closest friend. Just make sure that you and your friends are sincere about this relationship before they make advantage of you. However, there is a saying: A friend in need is a friend in deed. Therefore a friend may have something to offer to a friend. My opinion is you should always try to help your friend, and the same goes to your friend. Helping each other is the base of longer and lasting relationship.

Making good friends in such a short term mainly depend on whether both of your character is similar ,do you have the topic both are interested in ? even my best friend , more or less we each is selfish ,So we needn't care too much about that . I don't have too much good friends ,but I think they are enough , for some common friends , it's so easy to become strange after losing contact for a long time .So, good friends is a type of chance .

i don't think there's really a tell way of making good friends. you just have to be careful who you choose to be your friends. i am thankful for the great friends that i have. my friends that i am really close to have always supported me and try to be there for me as much as possible. you can sometimes tell who are good friends and which aren't all that great. i would say for you to help them in something small and try to see if they are willing to help you in something small. if they are then they may just be a good friend but don't go rushing in to save them just yet. only time can tell if they will be a good friend or not. i wouldn't do everything for a friend i just know for a month, i believe a friendship grows in time.
