u/IntrovertMaestro

Finally an opportunity to befriend me, many of you have waited for just this opportunity. The reputation of this friendship is beyond your dreams. Funny, encouraging, loyal, down-to-earth, honest... Equally socially awkward as you. So all you need to do is to fill out this application form, DM me your answers and hope for the best. Praying, standing on one leg while a rooster screams in the back is the most helpful tip I can give.

So to make it easier on you, I have filled in my own answers to the form.

Intelligence: top level
Humor: the best
Favorite color: dont see the relevance
Favorite food: again, is this important? (OK, Lasagne - dont want to come across as arrogant)
Politics and values: the correct ones
Religion: Flexible to any who can be my friend
Friends: Very close to zero, but statistically uncertainties is +/- 5, so 5 is great!

Like many people in here I am looking to expand my very short group friends. It can be any gender, age or life situation. What is more important is to be able or at least try to follow a few steps. If you can relate to the following, we already have some common ground to build on.

1. In the beginning; we are all very sensitive to be neglected.
2. Is it worth spending time and effort on this person, this is the question that most of us face in the start-up period.
3. Most of us then see that the other person very often tend to at some point ignore you, which makes the time to get confident and secure on the other person very hard, you may end up dropping each other soon.
4. Answering your new friend is vital, preferably also with apx the same amount of effort, not creating an imbalance in the effort from the start. Meeting someone require an effort, asking questions, be more curious than you normally are. Some simply answers in short questions from the other. You should often at least put the question back.
5. A starting conversation should almost always end each message with a question, if not, it may end up being a one-sided interview – indicating that the interest is only from one side.
6. You need to also give something to receive something.
