i always found that i would rather have a few close friends than plethora of aquaintences~ the close girlfriends that i have, i have been friends w/ since we were in in middle school~ & tho some have moved away, we always make a point of making time for ea other even if it's just a quick call to say, "hi, i am thinking of you"~
same w/ my husband, tho we have wrk type friends, he too has a few close friends who still he sees & they are all from childhood~
don't get me wrong, it's great to meet new people, i love that~ but i have just found the friends who stick around thru thick & thin & wouldn't dream of stabbing you in the back to me always are the friends i have known most of my life~ it's sad that the world sucks, that it is hard to trust anyone & lay all the the cards on the table right away~
