[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very important to mirror the level of involvement/ intimacy of the person you want to be friends with. Don’t assume too much too fast, or go beyond what they have shown you is their comfort level until you are very comfortable and have reach mutual trust at that level. I have been developing a friendship for 2 years that started out as relatively light, then was a guest at their house but still kept it polite/cordial and not too self-revelatory, just this week we started to have deeper conversations and friend, who I now officially consider a friend, offered to help with my child if I ever need it in a serious situation (I am a single parent, and we were discussing my precarious situation if I ever am ill).[/quote]

Related to this, something I've learned to do is pay attention to who shares personal stuff and who solicits personal stuff. Some people ask a lot of question and solicit a lot of information about your life and it an feel very flattering like "oh they are very interested in me." But if you ask them about their life, they are vague and don't elaborate. I really dislike this. I don't think people have to share lots of details about their lives and I totally get it people just don't like talking about certain personal subjects. But if that's the case, I find it odd when they really push a lot to find out this same stuff in others. It makes me feel very vulnerable in a bad way.[/quote]
