Uhhh...if you find out, let me know. Because the only close friends I've had I made either in school or at work. And now that I'm not in school (traditionally - I take a class here and there) and I'm among the youngest in my workplace (not to mention I don't live near most of my coworkers) I'm struggling to make friends. People say "Surround yourself with people" - "Volunteer" - "Take a just-for-fun class" - "Join a book club" and so on. Good ideas, if you have the energy, but unless you're seeing the same folks over and over, you're probably not making real *friends*, just acquaintances.
I'll be interested to hear others' thoughts.
