    Get on FB and seek some friends that way. And perhaps meet up for a coffee sometime.. :).
    What? Just add strangers on FB then meet them?

    Not exactly no! What about school friends etc? But yeah you could just add anybody if you liked, never know they might be your future soul mate. :)

    I don't have any school friends. I'm not really convinced about adding strangers either.

    You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

    The friends people have or not, are a reflection of what they deserve to have. You won't find friends at work, when you leave the job, its over.
    You won't make friends on facebook as its only for deluded fools who can't make friends in real life.

    Are you saying that I don't deserve to have any friends?

    Ask yourself why you have none, it won't just be that you have no time.

    Well, apart from the time factor the friends I've had previously just drink too often for my liking. I met most of them at previous workplaces and I found the regular pub visits expensive and tiring, then further people I met at the pubs resulted in shallow friendships. So I made no effort to keep in touch after I moved.

    I have very few friends.. mainly because I have no time for them and I am not interested in other people.. It isn't that i am a freak (though I might be) but I know why I don't have close friends.. why do you think you have no friends? Are you horrid? Are you nasty? Do you whine and talk about yourself all the time? Are you rude and intrusive? Maybe spend some time on self reflection to figure out why you are so unpopular.. If you address that problem it may solve many more.

    I added random strangers on facebook for some of the silly games I play... one of them now lives with me and we will soon have 2 children.. why not!?
