Hi everybody,

I have been looking for a site like this for awhile now and I am glad I found one. I don't know how to approach forums, since I don't normally use em, but here goes. I have trouble making friends, I have people I know but I consider them acquaintances more then anything, and I am sure they do the same about me. I live in a college town working on my degree, and although it may be kinda sad that I have to be on here when I live in a town full of people my age, I have gotten over it (I don't think it is, I just can't find anybody I get along with) but every time I get along with someone nothing really sparks up, in a friendship way. I have a boyfriend whom I live with, and I would say I am generally happy with. He has a personality that attracts everybody. This sometimes bothers me because whenever I feel like I have something with someone, I feel like they no longer are interested in me cause they meet him. I like him a lot, and want to be with him, but at the same time I wish I could make friends too. There is one "friend" that I kinda get along with, she is friends with both my boyfriend and I, but I feel like she only talks to me cause she wants to hang out with him. She is the type of person that doesn't do anything and it drives me nuts!!! She has no interests, has no motivation to do anything not even date! Sorry off topic, but this is my problem. So people are interested in me, they like me (at least that is what my bf says), but nothing ever grows out of it. I would like a serious friend, or a friend group but I can't figure out how to do that.

I am open to anything.

Please help.

Hi and welcome. I agree with alonewanderer...friendships do take time to grow. Maybe make some friends away from the circle your bf attracts, then you won't be left feeling like it's him their drawn too. Maybe a group, sport, or club that you alone are interested in. I also agree with aw about the do-nothing gal who wants to hang-out with the BF....Trouble with a capital "T"

Thanks for the advice, I should try that.

Yeah the chick bugs me a lot, I just don't want to be a crazy jealous girlfriend, since I trust my boyfriend. I tried being friends with the girl but there is just no spark, or any communication going on, it feels like she is entertained by me and that's it. And for some reason she just bugs me a lot, I think it's cause I can't stand people that are fine with doing nothing all day. Blah.
