Those take time. Sometimes. POM would help me hide the body, I knew that instantly.  Yup. POM is the "go to" for a lot of people on these boards. She must be a very busy woman.  She's one of those people that is just genuine with no pretenses. Very hard to find these days. |

I have one long term friend who has a "hide the body" level emergency every 6 months or so. She knows that I will not do the following for her:
-Bail her out of jail
-Let her live on my couch if she gets fired for not showing up to work
-Respond to cryptic text messages in the middle of the night
She respects these boundaries, and I appreciate it. I have lasted longer as her friend than the people who did the above for her. Despite all of her drama, she is one of the sweetest people I know. At the same time, I have to look out for myself and really hate getting sucked into drama vacuums.

I just joined meet up...and because Im such a YMr it was an investing group I joined!lol. I haven't gone to the meetings but I made the first step Im pretty outgoing so I have a lot of casual friends to go out with. But that is fun Tina. The real Tina builds walls and it is very hard for anyone to get through. So best friends are very few and far between for me but if you want to hang out and have fun, Im your girl :-)
I think if we met we could break the walls.....maybe even a headboard or 2

Not sure if you are a religious person but I know more people through my church network than I could possibly have time to cultivate "hide the body" friendships with.
I have I'd say dozen of those kinds of friends, some close by and others may live far away, but they are the type of friends that you could see once every 10 years and you could just pick up where you left off. These are probably my closest friends. I only really have 1 that I hang around with the most.
We have a lot of the second kind of friends. You have them over for dinner and have a good time, but maybe wouldn't share your deepest secrets with them. But they are the kinds of friends you could go on vacation with or go to a concert or whatever.
Granted I am married, so I have a fall back friend I live with. That is generally all I have time for.
My parents have friends from all over because they are open to friendship. They met a family that was in the process of moving into the area from the UK and they invited them to stay at their place until they got settled. They are good friends now but didn't know them at all when they invited them. Not that I advocate taking complete strangers into your house. In my religion we consider ourselves a global family, so it is not unusual to have that instant connection.
If you are not religious then maybe find something you are passionate about and be open to friendship with younger and older people, people not in your demographic but who may have similar interests.

I have a few hide the body friends from HS, college, law school, and professional life. I also found a few here.

 GRG I like MT, but I'm not sure if she likes me back. Can you please ask her if she likes me or not, then let me know. Once I know she likes me first then I will feel OK to tell her I like her. If she doesn't like me then I can save face by not mentioning it to her. Thanks....

Hmmmmmm if I'm remembering correctly the age group is middle school ... 5-8 grades. Ya know, the raging hormone set.
I try to be friendly with everyone I meet ...... but I'm very careful to keep my work friends and home friends separate ....... Been badly burned a couple of times before learning this.
<----------------- <sob> I'm feeling so lousy ..... this infection is doing me in. Who do I see for an antibiotic?

Just write her one of those "do you like me? Circle yes or no" notes. Grown women totally dig that.  |

Funny, over the years (most of my life), I have felt like people could count on me. But rarely have I felt like I could count on them. People tell me I'm such a good friend, or that I'm their best friend and I wonder what that means exactly. Cuz I consider them an acquaintance, or a neighbor, but not really a friend and certainly not a best friend. We don't socialize and I'd hate to have to depend on them for much of anything, esp to bail me out of jail, or help me hide a body. I have only had a hand full of good friends, since I graduated. I only have one now and she lives in another state.
Sad but true.
Although I enjoy spending time with others, I also enjoy time alone. So many people need to be entertained all the time. I am not the entertainment committee.

MJ2.0 check if you have a Buy Nothing facebook group in your area. I have met the most "real" people through that site's activities than anywhere else in years. It is a Gifting Site (everything free) that is based on making community connections. Look at buynothingproject dot org and see if it is something you are interested in. We have lunches every now and then where whoever is available shows up. Also recently did a crafting session that was a lot of fun (food, wine, mimosa's, and a little bit of crafty stuff). It is an easy way to meet people in your area, and they tend to be more frugal minded :-)

Yup. POM is the "go to" for a lot of people on these boards. She must be a very busy woman. She's one of those people that is just genuine with no pretenses. Very hard to find these days. Thank you! You all are so sweet. And I just wanted to remind you that I now also have the vehicle capable of transporting said body and a boat to take it, ummmm, fishing! All I ask is that you all try to pace yourselves as there is a weight limit.  I'm not sure why it's so hard to meet people where you live as you are a sweetie. The only advice I can think of to give about making friends is to be one first. Listen, be there when you say you will be, offer to meet with one or two people you think you'd bond with out for drinks, lunch, dinner or shopping. Then allow it to grow from there. Call the person after you get together and let them know you enjoyed their company and had fun. Then try again in a week or two to do another thing with them. Listen to what they like to do or where they'd like to eat next time and then suggest a place. Or just invite them over for dinner or a drink. That's all I got as I don't have tons of friends. I find most people around here (where I live - not here, here! LOL!!) needy and annoying. |

Quality over quantity any day. I never thought I would find the group of friends I have now when my bestie left the area years ago. Was quite the loner for a long time, I do believe you will find your niche though.
