See, I think you have tons of friends, but not thinking of them as 'friends'. See, you need to broaden your horizons here. First, regarding Kim and Cathrine, If all they do is drink, then when you ask them to hangout, specifically say 'lets go to a movie'. Sure, drinking is a huge thing at the age of 18-28ish, but there are certain ways you can get people to go elsewhere. When you ask people to hangout, say 'Hey lets hangout tonight, maybe a movie or something.' Saying 'hey lets hangout' gives them the choice of picking where they want to go (the bar/pub). So be more detailed in your invitations.

Secondly, I think its time to build new friendships. Now I know its not easy - and no one wants to do it - but we have to. Join clubs, groups, or even get a part time job while in college. Something like these things can keep you busy, while opening up the door for possible friendships.

I often see people that lack friends, and they think they can just get them from staying inside the house, or in there own 'safe zone' - but in reality no one can build friendships like that. Alot of time, effort, (and in some cases tears) go into making friends.

So be more detailed when you invite people out. Build new friendships (and keep yourself busy) by joining a group, club, volunteering, or getting a part-time job. Open your eyes, open your heart, and friends will follow.


Best wishes,
Chris
