[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UGH! I have "friends" like you who are all caught up in keeping score of how good a friend I am by how many times I call, what things I invite them too, who many times I email, etc. It's so tiresome and not something at my age I am interested in. When I get friends complaning about this, I do tend to drop them.

Friendships are not as instant or as intense as they were back when we were in school (college, grad school, etc) and it takes time for them to develop.  [/quote]

OP here and I never, never keep 'score' of how 'good' my friends are.  Those who live in glass houses can't throw stones, you know.  Not sure how you got that from my post.  I do realize it takes time and also that I need to make the first move.  Loads of time is not something I have right now, like lots of my mom friends.  So I do feel like I"m imposing if I call too much or take too much of my friend's time, even talking about 'light' stuff.  Also, b/c I don't feel like I have the foundation laid, I feel like it may be inappropriate to divulge something 'deeper' that may overstep the boundaries and also, by the very nature of the topic, take a lot of time to discuss.
