In reply to What do friends do?, posted by fallsfall on May 3, 2004, at 15:14:50
I think that being involved in an activity rather than getting together and talking, would help. Also I am one of those women who believe than women get closer by talking, then they do activities together; and men start with doing activities and get around to talking. It's been true in my case, anyway.
What I have tried to do (with varying success) has been to have people over for a "spa party" where you all try on facial masks and do your nails and look all silly together. I am very aware that I make friends with people I work with (or go to school with, etc) and as soon as that connection has been broken by moving on, so has the communication and friendship.
Perhaps we should regard it as a transient thing. Something that helps us now, but might be left behind as our lives move on??
