How do you make friends as an adult without looking pathetic?

Question

Is it stuck up to think to yourself "I want a higher class of friends"? I love my friends but they do not seem to be the caliber of people I am comfortable with or feel I fit in with. I want more stable, smart decision making, responsible parents, happily married or single stable people. I am a Realtor & it is not a position you work closely with many others so it is hard to meet people to befriend. How do you make friends as an adult?

Answer 1

Ask God in to ur heart first. Pray this prayer" Dear lord I know I am having trouble making friends but I also know that the altimate friend died on the cross for me. Lord, I invite you into my heart to become my bestfriend no matter how many friends I have." pray that and I garentee you will make a new friend to be together for all enternity. Ok......so, next pray to your new friend for more friends to strenghten your relationship with him. That's all. Good luck. Mine is the best and only answer because Jesus is the only answer.

Answer 2

I totally understand.

As a realtor, I would try socializing within professional trade organizations and events. Check up on clients and former clients to see how things are going.

In your downtime, try out different hobbies, eateries, sports, etc... with emphasis on the ones that you think will make available the caliber of people that you want to meet.

BUT, discount nothing. You never know where you'll find a good friend.

P.S. Don't forget to talk and smile, especially those that you notice as "regulars" in your daily habits.

Answer 3

Since we all use the computer, I would say go to  the Yahoo home page and search for people based on interests.  Try to put in Real Estate as  the key words.  

Answer 4

volunteer at an animal shelter

good people go there

Answer 5

I would probably say...... join lots of clubs and groups and activities.

Become  a teacher. if you get envolved with more stuff that could lead to great friendships. and if nice people are in the same "group" or clubs as you, then you know you have something in common. :)
