I have always developed friendships by chance. In college I had numerous 'acquaintances'. There were people I'd talk to while I was in class but I never hung out with. I had only a few 'friends' that I would plan to do things with. Most of the time I chose them logically and purposefully. I found it hard though to find girls who didn't always think about clothes, jewelry, boys, and complain about their bodies. There were FEW girls who wanted to go hiking in the woods with me, biking, or playing a rough game of soccer. When I found a girl who was doing one of those activities I would sometimes introduce myself and start a conversation. When that went well I'd look her up at a mealtime sometime. Sometimes after that the girl would start a conversation with me the next time we met. Now - I have to PLAN to talk to ladies that I want to be friends with. Sometimes that is hard to find the time so it makes creating a friendship more difficult.
I am lucky right now to have a neighbor lady who has many similar interests and is friendly.
