[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s more about her than you. I have several friends and not interested in acquiring new ones, maybe she is the same way. [/quote]

If everyone said they already have several friends and are not interested in acquiring new ones, how are new friendships supposed to form and blossom?

Imagine a new family or a single person from a different state moved into your neighborhood. They are newcomers and they have no local connections. No relatives nearby either. How are they going to make new friends if everyone says they're busy or they have enough friends already? [/quote]

Because not everyone is too busy already! Some people have more capacity for socializing. Some have a good friend who just moved away, or who they fell out with. Maybe you can fill the role of an activity buddy - someone to go hike with or take a painting class or whatever. Maybe you share an interest that makes you rise above the crowd. Maybe you're new in town, too! Or your kids just moved out. Or you just got divorced.
