    Offline is far easier for making friends then online for me. I actually have some sort of investment and so I actually care. I find this very hard to really do online, and I like it that way.

    What's so wrong with being picky with who I befriend?

    At least that way I'll be able to make sure that all the friendships I'll make will be long lasting ones.

    There's no real guarantee on that either, just because your picky with your friends doesn't mean they'll be long lasting. I remember someone I considered my closest friend and always gave a lot of care for one day turned to me and said get lost. (Why? Because people are assholes xD) I was able to rebound quickly though because I had a lot of friends.

    When it comes down to it, this all matters on how you perceive the word friend.

    I have to admit I make my friends quite easily essentially even though I can be pessimistic and see the darker side of people's motives before the lighter positive side I give everyone I meet 100% faith in them being good person and their actions diminish or increase this faith in them if someone drops below a certain point I just won't be friends with them anymore.

    I don't have as many online friends as I used to and I don't have that many close friendships with EoFFers in all honesty. Though I do have a core number of people in #eoff that I'd consider friends as opposed to some other people. But there's certainly a number of people here who I would consider friends.

    I am the type of person that people tend to befriend rather than actively seeking people out as friends. Often it ends up being a mutual thing, a bit of effort on both sides, though usually initiated by others. As for making friends, I am generally easy-going and pretty open so I get along with most people I encounter. As for becoming close friends with, that is another thing. I'd say online I have few people I'd actually consider friends, fewer still that are close friends. Offline, it is basically the same thing. Mostly it comes down to the fact that there are few people I go out of my way to talk to.

    I just have people I talk to lots on the forums. :3

    Online, I make friends super easily. I admit, many times I should just treat someone as a nice acquaintance rather than add them to my list, but it never goes that way. If I met them in an online RPG of some sort, they're going on the friend's list, darnit!

    In real life, there's my friend Caleb, and the friends I met from him. I'm not too social. >_>

    I won't add back people who add me to their friends list unless I've actually communicated with them. I've had some people add me without me even recognising them and I'd rather they actually contact me if they want to get onto my list than just do it for the hell of it.

    For the main topic at hand, I find it extremely easy to make friends online and rather difficult to make friends offline. The biggest problems for me with making offline friends are that I don't like to mix work life with personal life (hence, I don't hang out with work colleagues after hours) and the fact that I'm still probably four years younger than anyone else at work, so it's just a bit weird. I like to think I get along with pretty much anyone I want to get along with, though, so it's not a problem for me when I meet new people. I just don't make a lengthy habit of meeting them because it's very rare that I want someone who I know in the real world to know me that deeply, especially when they're generally that much different to my preferred friend-personality-type. I prefer open people who, er, don't know the rest of my work colleagues. People at work always have a tendency to gossip and I don't like that.

    So a four-year age difference is too weird for you to talk to someone, but not enough to smurf them?

    That's only one person who is four years older. Most are closer to fourty years older. Seriously. =|

    I have no problem talking to them, either. And I've always got along with people younger than me. There are exceptions though. Like you!
