I just LOVE your friendship insights. I MUST get that book. I was always more of a quality vs quantity kind of girl. But, I am open to MORE friends now. In fact, MORE is the new black...LOL.
I have no idea how much I can handle. I'll just keep going until it gets too much?

I actually dont think I do want more friends - I dont actively avoid making friends but this year is about focusing on the ones I already have.

I say this because like your colleague I dont have time to give each friend the attention I feel the deserve. I would rather have a handful of friends who I spend quality time with and enjoy that trying to get to 100 friends but rushing the

I've been thinking since I commented on this post last night...am I saying I'm A-OK in the friend department? Not exactly.

I think the biggest thing that's missing - apart from things settling with my one friend (which is huge) - is "couple" friends.

As a married couple, we've never really had another couple that we liked to get together with...all

2012-01-24T15:20:20.395+02:00

I know that I need more "family" friends - like people with husbands and babies and who want to have cookouts. I have three real best friends - and we always joke that three is the limit! :)

I have lots of friends, but I think it's because I don't really categorise it. So the boundary between friends and acquaintances is very blurred for me. I "get" different things from each friendship, some friends give me adventure, some help me analyse emotions, some I go to with spiritual conversation. Some friendships are superficial, and there's space for that too. I

Oh I really do need new friends but am finding time a huge stress on my seeking for friends. BTW we should really meet again this year and I do count you as one of my true friends.

I've told my husband twice or thrice that I need more friends but nowadays, I'm comfortable with the amount of friends we have.

I have to be honest with you and say that in real life, I find it very, very hard to open up to people. Which means that I don't really have many friends.

People who know me say that once you get to know me, I am this "wonderful" person, but in actual fact, I have a very bad habit of being "sort of posessive" over friends, which I have learned in the past few

I can't bend my head around having a specific predetermined ideal number of friends.

I have friends. Some I hardly ever see but I know that when I do there won't be any awkwardness and it will be like we've seen each other just yesterday, even if it's been years!

I don't panic or kill myself trying to get to everybody I consider a friend. when they'

2012-01-24T11:15:44.228+02:00

I'm definitely in the 'need friends' department. Thinking back, I've always only had one or two bff and, like it's always said, "old friends are hard to make", and those two bffs are far away now.
I always imagine that once we're finally parents it'll somehow be easier to meet friends because I/we will actually be in a category that has other people in

2012-01-24T05:43:20.961+02:00

I think becoming a parent has made me a hermit. Seriously, my friends have to practically drag me out of the house to socialize. When friends call, I get annoyed and wonder why can't they just text me.

I guess it's because I have very limited free time and in the evenings, I just want to melt into the sofa and read a good book or watch some mindless television.

For a long time, I would have told you I have three best friends...one from college, in Alabama, and two live here.

My college friend is like a sister. We obviously don't get to see each other very often (especially since our kiddos were born), but we both make a real effort to keep in touch and support each other.

One of my friends here, I told her a couple of weeks

I totally want more friends. Real friends though...not acquaintances.

I just hope I can be a good friend back. It's hard!

2012-01-24T03:03:04.762+02:00

i definitely feel like i need more friends, but i only want the ones where the friendship is "easy". by that i mean that i don't want to have to feel guilty for not calling every day, for wanting to spend time with other people, etc. i do have a few friends where we can pick up like no time has passed and i like that. i like those types of relationships. i'm definitely not

2012-01-23T21:26:33.763+02:00

I have some really close friends who I have "met" through blogging although we have never met. I have another friend I have only spent a couple of hours with, and really connected and can't til they come back to Ireland this year.

In real life most of my friends are through church, and it is great to have your faith in common with your friends, we can pray and support

2012-01-23T21:01:43.679+02:00

I've never been great on the friend department, even at school I struggled to form close friendships. I was just never the popular girl others wanted to hang around with. I got along with people, but struggled to really connect. In high school I had 3 very close friends. Unfortunately those 3 friendships are long gone. As adults in South Africa we made some really close friendships too,
