Yeah, I was so ready to agree with this article at the beginning, but then got to the 36 questions part and felt queasy reading it. Imagining a friend coming up to me and reading off some script about "who is your ideal dinner guest" makes me depressed. I do think there are some decent observations in the beginning of this article that a lot of people take too long to realize. 1) There comes a time in most people's lives where making friends won't come without a lot of effort. You will have to go out of your way to create situations where you can get to know people. 2) Asking probing, slightly uncomfortable questions can lead to deeper friendships. If you're the type of person who doesn't feel comfortable digging into people's feelings, it's worth it to force it. That being said, you need to treat your friends like they're unique people. You can't read questions off a script and expect them to feel good about it.
