Friends

Just meet as many people as possible! Go to events that you enjoy, visit classes or join sports teams, etc. The more people you meet, the more you will naturally come across as someone who isn't desperate - as you will realize that everyone is friendly and a little desperate themselves too. Especailly in big cities, people are often lonelier than you'd expect. =) Get out there, and I'm sure you'll make friends!

There's no problem with me in interacting with a stranger on the net. Infact, I had a handful wayback then and was glad that they became good friends and respectful of our friendship. Most of them hold high position in their organization. One gave me a set of pearl jewelry, another gave me an set of table clothe which are being exported from their country and another gave me landscaping magazine, lotion and other gifts. What I like about these net friends of mine aside from their being respectful are that, we talk about life, about our families,joke with each other... anything actually except green talks or adult talks. They earned my respect and they don't talk nasty things. One called me mrs universe. another called me badi didi. Now that i rarely go online, we seldom communicate with each other. Oh! I remembered one net friend who included my family name in his business name. He thanked me for being a nice friend to him and for sharing some powerpoint materials of which he was able to share those in his class and passed his graduate studies with flying colors. Haven't met them, except for one who came to our city, and yet the friendship still exists.

I just don't have any idea how to interact with someone whom you don't know and you are completely new in a place.But I would like to say you a very memorable incident. I went to new country for some work. I din't know anyone was wondering how ti kill the time. I went for my official work. It just became monotonous for me to kill the time. In order to kill my time I went to a coffee parlour where I found one girl sitting alone. I just joined her and just talked with her. I told her that I was a stranger in that country. I was there for 15 days and believe me she made me so comfortable she took me to her house I met her parents.Today we both are very nice friends.

I may be the wrong person to answer this, because I really do not make friends easily. Whenever I am in a now location, I don't try to make friends. I just go about life as usual, getting around as much by myself as I can, and I just find friends. They just sort of show up. Sometimes they are good friends, sometimes not. But they do show up.
