"Need friends, will pay." Usually works for me.

But on a more serious note, most of my friendships come from school/other people introducing me to a friendly person.

All sorts of ways, really!

The interesting thing about friendship is that they can spawn from almost anything, even rivalries. I actually remember when I was at school, there was this lad who had a reputation for being a bit of a bully. You know, the cliche type of guy who you often see in movies. I had a few problems with him for about two years, and when we were both thrown into detention for having disagreements with one another, we ended up getting along greatly. I found out the root cause for his natural aggression, I helped him work on it, and we became best friends. He's now doing very well for himself. ^_^

Friendships tend to be all about having the same interests and being able to connect with each others personalities and traits. I've met many of my very closest friends on this game, actually. And I think the reason is because you don't see each other, you don't hear the voice of the person or anything, you just simply see how they act, so it is like your minds are communicating rather than having to focus on your confidence and how you come across, and so in my opinion, you get a better understanding of a person when talking to them on here, because they can be themselves. :) I've met some fantastic friends online.

(Oh dear, I do talk too much.. :P )

Nice thread, though! ^_^ I should visit the off-topic forum more often.

Take care, friend!

It just started off as a convorsation which eventually became a 'Add me?' 'Kk'. (atleast in RuneScape, elsewhere it was just convos and meeting eachother daily).
And once they learnt about what a little *censored* I can be they changed their mind* :P

Throughout my elementary and middle school experiences I pretty much made no friends at all, however, I did have small conversations with several people throughout these times. When High School came I found out that these people considered me a friend so we started talking more and doing more stuff together. Then I started talking to their friends and so on.

Well, my friends and I formed out of mutual bonds and interests. In my junior high and senior high school settings, the larger and more popular student body eschewed us as social outcasts; however, what they failed to realize was that we were not outcast from their society (never having been part of it), but rather we formed our own.

Aside from that, I think that true friendship is primarliy formed when friends go beyond simply liking eachother and understanding the quality of love. This idea hit my friends and I the hardest when the friend most core to us passed away in a single collision car accident. When I refer to love, I don't mean the affection or infatuation expressed between a couple, but the true sacrifice and selflessness we enact upon one another. Love is not merely liking, it is putting the ones you love before yourself.

It also has to do with ponies and what not because friendship is magic.

We don't have friends.

That's why we play Runescape.


Haha!


I still keep in contact with my friends from high school, who I met either through assigned seating and finding out we had similarities, or from extra cirricular activities.
Most of my friends in college are from my sports team, or I met through other friends.

i summon friends with my yugioh cards

i made one friend waaaaaay back when the first yugioh show came out.
i played obelisk the tormentor in battle once and won. We were great friends and when he had extras of yugioh cards he gave them to me.

Best card he gave me was a red eyes black dragon. I miss him sometimes.
