[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to focus on reaching out to people for whom friendship is also a priority. I'm trying to build a network of friends (am new to the area), and the people who are responding to my invites and/or inviting me to things are people who were already actively looking for more friends. It's kind of like dating -- it doesn't matter how great a guy is, if he's not looking for a relationship, it's not going to work. But unlike dating, there's no app or list of available people. It is frustrating because so many people are nice and interesting, but just too busy, and I find myself wasting a lot of time on threads like your examples. I don't know how to easily identify the people who are seeking out friendships without spending a ton of time meeting others and lots of trial and error. But once you find them, focus on those and I think you should be good. [/quote]
