This is something my pre-teen son had as a requirement for friendship. The best advice I could give him was those sorts of relationships take time to foster; they generally don’t happen instantaneously. Have plain old friends and see if they grow into best friends.
- Pet_Ant 4y agoOr I think to be more helpful to the GP: collect acquaintances and some might turn into friendships. It's important to point out that the starting point is a very shallow relationship that actually has no depth to it. Over time, these shallow relationships may gain depth. Much like a river carving through stone. If you have no patience you are not likely to get to the point if getting deep relationships, and if you do, you'll probably be overwhelming the other person with eagerness and/or desperation and/or being out of touch with social norms. Likewise, the best way to find love is to date lots and get dumped lots that it's no longer a major event and you just move on.
