Interact in person aka face to face with people who share your same likes, dislikes and interests.

Library, start a networking group, join a gym, book club, Starbucks, your Christian Services, etc.

Lisa Victoria........How to find a good friend;  Are you a good friend?

Finding a real friend you can trust is not easy, however, like most people you will probably agree that good friends are important.  You may also recognize that there is more to being a friend than simply clicking links on a computer screen or a smartphone.  What do you look for in a friend?  How can you be a good friend?  What does it take to forge a lasting friendship?

Question for thought;    Are you the type of person that others would want to be around?

Consider........

1.    SHOW THAT YOU REALLY CARE

True friendship involves commitment.  In other words a good friend feels a responsibility toward you, and he really care about you.  Of course such commitment is two-way, and it requires hard work and sacrifice on both sides.  But the rewards are worth the efforts.  Ask yourself this;  Am I willing  to give of myself, my time, and my resources for my friend?  Remember, to have a good friend, you first need to be a good friend.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

(Luke 6:31:32), tell us this:  "Just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them."  Practice giving, and people will give to you.  This is showing unselfishness and generosity.  Such generosity nurtures good friendships.  If you extend yourself in behalf of your friends without expecting anything in return, they naturally feel drawn to you.

2.    BE A GOOD COMMUNICATOR

A true friendship cannot flourish without regular communication.  So talk together about the interest you share.  Listen to what your friend has to say and respect his opinions.  And whenever possible, commend and encourage he/or she.  At times, a friends may need advice  or even correction, and that may not always be easy to give.  However, a loyal friend will have the courage to point out a serious fault and offer tactful guidance.

3.    HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

The closer we get to a friend, the more likely we are to see his flaws.  Our friends are not perfect, but neither are we.  Therefore, we should never expect or demand perfection from the people we befriend.  Rather, it is good to cherish their virtues and to make allowances for their mistakes.

LASTLY.....

4.    WIDEN YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

We definitely need to be selective about the people we befriend.  But that does not mean narrowing our choice of friends to those of a certain age or upbringing.  Taking an interest in people of all ages, cultural backgrounds and nationalities can truly enrich our lives.
