New friends.

Hi Sue, I guess it's ugly in me but i usually wait for people to send me a request. I then look at their profile & decide if i want them to be a friend. i'm always glad to make new friends.

if I find I'm responding a lot to a certain person's discussions I might request their friendship - if someone requests me and I've found they either start discussions I have enjoyed or they respond to my discussions, I'll accept them - if they request me and have things in common I might accept them, even if they have a very low number - I'm almost always sad when one of my friends goes away

Hi there my friend, I have to admit that I wait for new friends to find me, I don't go searching, maybe that's part of my self esteem issues, even on line I won't approach people I wait for them to approach me, that way there is no chance of being rejected. Yes I know it probably sounds irrational but it's a phobia of mine, throughout my life whether it's on line or off, I don't invite friends or reach out to people, I wait for them to turn to me, it's easier that way. Mind you it doesn't really matter if people don't because I am more of a solitary person. I do count myself lucky with the great friends I have here on Mylot, but if truth be told 99% of them asked for my friendship, rather than me requesting theirs.

I welcome all friends to add me in their list. But I will hold on to newbies who request for my friendship but have zero credit to their names. Until they have shown some interest in mylot by participating here then I would not hesitate to approve them. Each time when I post new discussions someone out there will come up with a request for friends. That is how I gain many new friends here.

Hi suzzy3, I love the funny side of things as life sometimes can be depressing, if you have had a bad day and when you see someone doing a discussion on the lighter side of life, it can make you smile or give you a belly laugh, it is such a good tonic for me and if anyone makes me laugh, then I connect with them.

Wow that is a very good idea ,I must admit that I dont do that but you have just given me a new idea.I will start doing that nwo .Thanks for your idea Suze

I have not spent much time searching for friends, I do weed through mine sometimes to extract some who are inactive.

When I have the chance to read discussions at leisure instead of "working" from my notifications list, I like to make friend requests of people I find interesting. They may agree with my viewpoint or not, but they are thinkers and have unique views on things.

I think I end up finding new ones justs by answering things that I am interested in answering, usually when I answer a question from someone or return a comment they will usually add me as a friend. I don't seek out new friendships all that often but I tend to get a lot of requests from people to be friends. I usually accept all requests, but it takes me a while because I like to check out the person a little bit first before I approve the friend request.

I tend to attract friends who are most like me, if they respond with something funny, or if it sounds like something I would of said, I take notice. I have two best friends right now, and my sister laughs because she says I pick friends that are just like me..lol.

When I first started here I used to send friends’ requests on a regular basis. These days I find that the requests come to me before I get a chance to look for someone to befriend. I do put in the odd request these days if I feel that the other person is someone I can connect with; it is more of an instinctive thing if I feel I can relate to the other person.

Are we talking about on here or are we talking about life? In life I find new friends through the things that we have in common. The majority of my friends are friends that I have made through my children. This means that their mothers become my friends mostly by association. As far as on here, the way that I become friends with people is through the things that we have in common on here. I will see someone that is frequently responding to my discussions or other discussions that I respond to and that is what makes me want to be their friend on here.

That depend on the each people characteristic friend, some people easy to make a new friend but there are also that hard to get it but when they got friend they will try hard to keep the friendship. For me, i also same like you, i like to make new friend and maybe i will initiate first to ask something and have a small conversation, of course a light conversation with joke but don't to over. But we should now the character first from the first impression than we will now what type the person is, to get a better conversation and be a good friend. thank

it is alright to go tho, your friends list everyonce in a while i do the same things. it is not that i dont want to be friends with the people i do this with it is just that they have not talked to me in a while so i just take them off for a while until they ask to be friends again is all, when you have a friends list and you get to many people on there in all go out the window as to who to talk with and not to talk with is all.

hi suzzy I never found friends really as they just kept coming to me and a lot of those people whom I respond to all the time asked to be my friends, I will ask just a few times if they are someone whom I do respond to be their friend so I cNan post remarks on their photos as I do like to do this when answering their discussions. Mostly new friends find me. guess I am a novelty to some because I am elderly. he he

Most of the time I just ask new people, unless someone responds and I want to get to know them much better. I like lot's of very different people.

I really like having new good friends, by keeping my old and current friends. I choose best friends who are not bad to be with me and those who are trustworthy. With new friends, i am opening a new oppertunity to meet more people from their friend circle, and get befriended with nice people among them. By doing this i like to expand my friend circle, and having contact with more and more people. I believe having good friends will help us surely in different situations of life. Its better to have some nice friends than none. I dont like to keep friends who will betray and are too much selfish.
