I made a friend.

Post Reply New Topic

Sort of. Today was my second day of college. Since elementary school, I have never made a friend before the first 3 months had gone by. I think.
Don't ask me how I did it. I don't know. All I said was "So that's it for today, then?" figuring that he would say yes or no and then I could leave, but suddenly we were talking. I remembered to get his name, too.
I made the mistake of following him all the way across the campus, but we were talking so I assume that it was okay.

So..it's not as bad as I figured it would be.

Sounds to me like you did everything right. Most friendships start with something as casual as what you said after class, so I'd say you're off to a great start!

Congrats! good luck on your new friendship

congrats thats a great achievement.
keep it up and keep trying

Congratuations! You did everything well, too! Keep it up.

Okay, I didn't make a friend. I thought I did, but apparently I missed some essential step and now he's a stranger again.
In my other class, I had to work with this girl who seems a lot like me, very quiet and prone to mumbling. I made her laugh a few times, but for the most part we kept it work related or pretended to be reading our reference books rather than talk to each other. I thought of all sorts of things to say after class ended, of course. Looking at it from a practical standpoint, she's my best chance for a friend in any of my classes.

I'm curious how he's now a stranger again.

What happened with the other guy? I'm sure you can still be friends with both people.

I tried to talk to him, but he acts like he doesn't remember me. Maybe he doesn't. And he doesn't want to hang out.

That sucks. With every person you drift away from, there's always room for someone else. Focus on your developing friendship with the girl you met, I am sure it is likely to be a successful one. Don't give up!
