Advice On FriendshipFriendship Advice on Starting a Friendship
The first advice on friendship I remember hearing was “you must be a friend to have one.”Did you know that there are friendship rules  that we can learn?We long for an in-depth relationship of trust, support and intimacy. The challenge is that while we want something, a friend, we have to “give to get.” Meeting the relational needs of another person is the foundation of a friendship. Letting our needs be known is a risk. In reaching out to someone for companionship we may be turned down and hurt. One person may feel an attraction to another but cannot be totally certain of the other's response. This sense of being drawn to another can arise from the same type of chemistry that sparks a love relationship. However, one person must take the risk of reaching out for a friendship to begin. It takes an investment of time to know if the person we desire as a friend returns that level of commitment.
Sometimes those who feel a lack of friends tend to be more introverted or have developed habits that keep them alone. Common sense advice on friendship to those who are loners is to take that initial risk of putting yourself in the company of those who might become friends.
