[quote=Anonymous]I think it was C.S. Lewis who wrote something I always found really insightful--people who "just want friends" have a hard time making friends, because friendships (vs. friendly acquaintances) are "about" something--common interests, values, activities, ideas, etc. There are people I like a lot, but I know we'll never be best friends because, although I admire them, we don't have a common bond. And merely having kids the same age isn't really enough to support a friendship. You may very well be giving off a desperate vibe, and looking for friends to fill a need in your life (vs. the mutuality that is the hallmark of real friendship) plus focusing on "making friends" means that you may not be all that interesting. I know why YOU want a friend, but think about what you bring to the table. What do you have to offer someone else? [/quote]
