Posted: 5/10/2008 7:22:41 AM | Maybe see what interests and hobbies you have in common to kick start the friendship. Or maybe join up some mother groups, community interest groups, young people social groups, so you can develop a wide range of friends from different stages of life.
Open up more and talk about things instead of sitting or standing there quiet.
Hope these suggestions help.

Posted: 5/24/2008 11:44:45 PM | I know where your coming from, I'd love to make more female friends.
Just be active on this site. Talk on the forums, and keep an eye out for any events occurring in your neighborhood, and go on them.
Don't change to fit someone else's wants. Just be active about living, and get out there doing things. People will then notice you, and some of them will be friendly.

Drink lots of beer
Burp and fart a lot
NEVER let an intelligent word past your lips
(its a deadly sin to be smart here)
Go to football matches and talk about cricket
Pretend to be dumb, drunk and sporty
They'll luv ya
Or find someone as passionate as you about what it is you do
(and who loves to cuddle penguins)
They tend to be more fun but more low key too 
You'll probably find them hanging out near water somewhere
In the quiet zones
(hiding)

Posted: 6/12/2008 3:55:58 PM | I tried the first option. It works, but look at the people you end up with?
The second option works too, but takes longer.
And because it was taking so long, I said yes too soon.
I'm now taking the second option again, and am still looking.
Any of you women want to give me a hurry up?????

Posted: 6/12/2008 4:59:21 PM | O I love Australians. Your not bad. Good to us Irish half breeds. Maybe cause we all dodgey criminals at heart !
If you want a friend be a friend.. yeah right.. Its hard to make friends when your older. There is no playground to hangout with at lunch time.
Still drink beer, dont be pretentious, enjoy a good rude joke ( every now and then) and love Australia. This seems to be the pre requisite. | |

Posted: 6/14/2008 4:12:36 PM | Off topic but important nonetheless.
People, don't encourage anyone else to come to Queensland.
We should be actively talking Queensland down lest it lose the attributes we love.
The roads are so crowded we can barely bloody move up here anymore!
And we have no water. | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 11:31:53 AM | well vege, looks like you joined my crew..lol. me the kiwi half breed, u the irish half breed and angel the country aussie..lol.
your right when u say we dont have playgrounds anymore.... ours are the pubs and clubs, thats why i only have a select few friends in the real world, most of mine are on the net....male and female.
as for doing the pub scene my socialising is done as you know on the other side of the bar,so no chance to meet or date anyone....thats why i will be forever single.
so for now i look forward to having as many friends as possible,i think we cant have to many friends in our lives as long as they accept us for who we are. | |

Couldnt sleep last night its a party at my house today for 20 kids .. vege runs around screaming more insanely than normal! So in a moment of clarity and unsurpassed stupidity I decided to host a food fight.. Yep .. told ya stupididnt with clarity
Well finally it is so good to see you sticking up for yourself.
Sorry Avo 
but hey Roses you often dont post twice on a thread you start them but dont seem to come back and say hi.. well good to see you . You have friends maybe sometimes you need to enjoy more for who is there now not who you would like to be there?
Anyway as it stands I agree with your post completely. It was a fair call to me. So good on ya .. very Australian ..lol

Posted: 7/11/2008 2:14:32 PM | mmm...this is quite a depressing thread really.
I'd go out on the town with you if you lived near me ha ha. lol.
Thing is, making friends is harder when you don't have any. When I’m with all my friends I meet lots of new people when we go out, but if you don't have anyone to go out with making friends is harder. Also, I’ll talk to anyone (even random ppl if I happen to be sitting next to them in a que or something), but I take a very long time to actually feel close to people. I doubt that anyone really gets what I mean, because I’m quite unusual. Anyway, :)
My advice would be maybe join some groups...walking groups, reading groups, parent groups, whatever...it really depends what your into. Maybe you could do a course, I met millions of people at uni!! Of course these kinds of things only help you get exposure to people. Once the people meet you, you need to be yourself and be friendly I guess :-).
Oh also, you can't "ask people" to be your friend, it sounds silly ha ha. Although it does sound kind of cute, but still silly…actually I changed my mind, if that’s what you want to ask people that is what you should ask people, some people might think it’s adorable ha ha, I probably would :)
Cheers,
Ahron :) | |

For myself.. ofcourse i want a man to be with... but...i would also like to make a female friend.. i have become abit shy about asking for a females friendship.. because they all seem to have enough friends..i feel rejected by these women and i dont know what to do ?? shouild i keep on asking someone until they say yes to my friendship..i just dont know...i feel dis- heartened...
Finding good friends, I think, can depend on if you have a social or special interest group you fit in with.
I am 54 and have only just found friendship (friends) for the first time in my life.
It is a most wonderful feeling to know you have the support of friends and to know you are appreciated for who you are.
The reason I now have this friendship is that I changed. I changed my outlook on life and who I was, before I found friends.
Young people today seem to have developed good support networks.
How they have been able to do this today is a mystery to me but it's great.

Posted: 7/11/2008 11:49:06 PM | When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the assh*le who made you feel this way.
When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever you are choking on. If I can't save you I will come to your funeral and place a pair of Groucho Marx glasses/moustache on you right before they close the lid on your coffin.
When you smile - I will know you are up to no good or you finally had sex with someone other than yourself.
When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
When you are worried - I will tell you to get over it and tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be.
When you are confused - I will use small words you can understand.
When you are sick - I will stay the hell away from you so you don't give whatever you have to me.
When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy, drunken ass!
A friend will bail you out of jail. A TRUE friend would be sitting next to you, saying "Damn, we had a good time!" | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 3:39:11 AM | Someone has turned 40 and as partner in crime and gal pal its my job to let everyone know so they can rag you constantly.
Just because you're 40
Don't despair, oh no
Overnight you won't discover
You've lost your get up and go.
Nor will you become all wrinkled,
Nor ache from head to toe.
So even though you're ripening
Don't regard it as a blow,
You won't suddenly look decrepit ....
...Cos that happened long ago!!
Remember.....
Forty isn't old...
If you're a tree !
Now I need to start looking for a younger best mate cos I dont do old people!!
