I’ve been reading Rachel’s blog for a few months now (also thanks to Jen). I’m not really in the same place in life that she is, but I do identify a lot with her search for a BFF and I enjoy following it.

I absolutely agree that it is difficult to make new friends in new towns, especially as an adult. What a great idea for a blog and book project- I think a lot of people will be able to relate to it.

So true! I moved a lot in my young adult life. I’ll be checking into Rachel’s blog.

I can definitely relate. It seems like as you get older it gets harder and harder to make friends. I don’t know why.

My husband and I are best friends however, he is not my only best friend. You need other friends to bounce things off of, and to have time away from your spouse. Everyone needs either alone time or away time. There is nothing wrong with that. The web can only go so far. I would say if you have any hobbies, like knitting or books look for clubs or something. Or maybe someone from work? Two of my dearest friends I met at work and through knitting. I will say this though, when I was younger I had tons of friends now I have very few. Over time, interests change, people change and your circle gets smaller.
I will be sure to check Rachel out.

Having moved around a few times myself, I totally empathise with how hard it can be to make friend. I think some people have the knack and others just don’t. Unfortunately I am in the don’t category. I have a steady group of friends but in the last year the one that I was closest to has met a bloke, and is getting married and the others are in a different financial situation to me, so things are changing and it really is time to try and find some more.

It has always been hard for me to make friends, but lately I have found that it is coming easier to me. I have a few really good friends, and I have to agree that a husband does not really fill that role for me. This is a really good idea and I am going to check out this blog!

There are certain points in your life when it is easier to make friends than others. After all of our moves, I’ve learned to just put myself out there and I find that it generally works. I’m going to check out Rachel’s blog now.

That point about people want to be your friends as much as you want to be theirs..is so very true. I struggle with making friends because I am shy. This post reminds me that others could be having the same issues, and it’s worth making efforts to break the ice and find common ground.
