friends

[thinkpositive1]

how can you make new 'genuine' friends .........everyone these days seems out for themselves. Work colleagues and old friends are all paired off now.......could do with some friends. yet even in these days of facbook etc, it seems harder and more cliquey than ever to find decent people to hang out with

One way of meeting new people and becoming friends is by joining a group as people have said. I give English lessons to groups and am amazed by the way complete strangers who join are invited to each others homes to do homework etc after a few weeks. Some go out for a meal together after the lesson and some pop to the baths! What I notice is that those who turn up on time and leave straightaway don't have that link. Those who turn up early can chat about homework etc and have a chat afterwards so they bond. Going on a course can also create friendships as you're not in the same company so no competition.
