"A friend is a present you give yourself"

Thoughn you are saying this in jest I am going to answer your question seriously.I did not have too many friends here in the beginning.THough I have been a member for nearly 2and a half years now, I have only recentlybeen much more active than what I used to be .I was participating right from the beginning but I had never invited too many friends.One of the discussions here was an eye opener and made me invite more people as friends. Moreover, sometimes, when we do not find any interesting topics posted by some person or the topics that they have posted are not in our area of contribution I don't feel like inviting all these people to be friends.

well ya asked me and I accepted you there was enough in your profile for me to see we would get along fine. I dont know why some people pick me as a friend but all I have have asked me to be one. LAtely tho I have had requests that really dont match me at all in any thing they have posted So I havent accepted them. SAd I know but with so many people in here others match better than I. Also If I accept I hope they put thier notify on so I get their emailsso I can respond to them.

when I first started Mylot..I introduce myself to everybody and went from there. I did the same thing on Gather. We are already friends

Are you a new member?? If so, it seems you have been very active judging by the amount of posts you have made! I generally will never reject anybody's friendship request on myLot and you shouldn't be afraid of being rejected anyway - it is just a website remember!!

Hello my friend zandi458 Ji, You are always welcome with open arms. You are so trustworthy, that anyone would feel graced to be your friend. If someone requests me, I never even look at profile, and simply acceed requests. Even, if I am dis-appointed, I keep trying. A success will knock at my door. But remember, we can only converse here and at least listen to others. May God bless you and have a great time.

I am impressed in the title of the discussion.And I will open up my heart for sure coz i like making friends as well. As a newbie,i don't send friendship to others.I just wait for others send me one and i accept all the invitations~~~~

How come you have so few friends, it takes two to tango dear. Ask and most of the time people love to make friends here. I just sent request to people I liked the responses of or their discussions too and many times when I reply to the posts I find the same person requesting to be the friend and I accept. I love my friends here even though I have never met them but they live such an extraordinary lives that its amazing.To meet and know about lives of people all acroos the globe is some times so mesmerising. Keep asking for friends and see how many you will have and so many of them real true friends even if you will never know them by face once you meet them.

You are on my friends list and I would say where requesting friendship is concerned, go for it. We cannot please all of the people all of the time. I don't take rejection as something personal. There is a saying by a guy called Fritz Perls (founder of Gestalt Therapy) and it goes like this - I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. If we both meet, it could be wonderful, if not, it cannot be helped. - Derek

hmmm nice question well my first time in mylot i just add and add friends till i got many.then when i started my discussion many who replied. i had even my first BR i think from Lakota then its getting better and better then i had my "todays top" and it was challenging to carry on in mylot.it was great when i started i always get excited to get a response and reply to some other friends discussions.now i gets addicted in mylot

zandi458,I am also new here ,I am happy to be your friend first .Most discussion you submited are very reasonable and made me think a lot .You are also my first friend in mylot .I like your personality and your mind can imspire my activity to response to you .I agree that a friend is a present you give yourself .At present ,I would like to make friends in mylot for he or she gave me an impressive response .People said that friends is tresure of yourself ,the more friends you have ,the richer you are .I don't think so ,I don't need much friends but true friend .we can share most of things which happen around !Those who are loyal and honest can be my friends .Nice to be your friend ,zandi458.Be happy everyday ,mylottings!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm still new here as well, but to find new friends, I ask, ask, ask. When I find a discussion that I like and respond to, I go look at other discussions that the individual started. If they're good ones, I send a friend request. I find that if you've participated in their discussions, that there is excellent odds that your request will be accepted. If you don't respond to their discussions and send a request anyway, they may wonder why you are asking. Under that condition the odds of not being accepted is greater.

Yeah...I have had a lot of trouble asking people too, I don't know if I should ask everyone or be very selective. i will ask you. I have an even bigger problem making friends in real life.

hahah ok thank you tho :) and i'm glad I answered this

lol i'm new too I'll add you if you want to be my friend I don't have any ideas for you on how to make friends I think you just have to wait a bit comment honestly and you will attract people that you will get a long with (like me hhehe)

Good thinking, be honestly. I will always accept you as my friend, nothing difficult way to making friends if we try to good to people. I still feel lonely, and i need more friend.

You have a yellow star for 3259 posts, strange for me. Are your really new but dilligent in posting, or for some reason you lost rating? Some discussions are just arousing attention, and yours in quotation marks, well hint the implication. Back to your question, i agree, a friend is a present you give yourself, and also a goodwill gesture for people on the other side.

Am I dreaming or am I awake? You are newbie yet? well friend are there. You do not know people beforehand and this surely is a chance if or not people would accept you as a friend. But I hope the water is still not so deep and people are there to befriend you provided you risk being rejected. I have been rejected by a few but accepted by more than 250 till date. So why not give yourself a gift of a friend?

For me, these things just happen. I don't seek them, and I don't make an awareness of it. These things just happen, you'll see.

hi zandi! i'm here in mylot for about 1 month now but i have a different experience with you. i have requested for thousands of friendship with the mylotters without the fear of being rejected. now i have more than a thousand of friends in mylot. but it's true that we would be rejected or even be deleted after a while of being friend with some of them. however, that did not discourage me to keep on adding new friends. when we are friends with the mylotters, we can easily notice their discussions & respond to it. also, we can post comments to their profile & send message to them. only if they are in our friend list that we are able to post comments & send message to them. personally, i think that mylot need to do something to improve this. at least we should be able to send a message to the person we are asking to be friend with. otherwise, who would like to simply approve us without first knowing us, right?

you don't have to beg for friendship. you just have to be wild or naughty, don't take it literaly okey? just enjoy the discussion and be happy always, and make people laugh for whatever you will say, becuase if you can make them smile, the feeling of being at ease will be easy for them. like what i am doing. . be wild, get naughty, laugh out loud, ENJOY LIFE. . i give you some tip, make at least three people smile each day. . trust me, you will gain a true friend. . _wink_ ops by the way before i forget, don't be so racist. because some of here are racist. you know what i mean?
