meeting people

How to do you find friends or groups who share your interest considering the fast pace of the program. Well, environment here is no different from outside and the truth is there is no formula. You just bump into people who share the same interests. In the right setting, a 10-minute discussion with an individual and you probably know.

What makes certain people friends? An amateur attempt to rationalize this would be to see every individual having attribtues from a set of traits A, B, C,..,P, Q, R, S...Z. A combinaton, say A, P, S, from the set is makes a person unique. If the first conversation between two individuals throws up common trait (say P) then there is a good likelihood of bonding. On the other hand if one sees trait A and the other sees S, then maybe multiple meetings are needed to discover the commonality.

Should this be looked at in this complicated manner? Of course not. It is really simple. Imagine your close friend and think on what makes him your friend and you his. You will discover atleast one common trait P. If you have a circle of friends chances are everyone shares the trait {P} or the circle is actually a chain ( person with {AS} meets {SP} meets {PR} ). The latter is actually seen in social networks like orkut.

Against the interest part of it, regular acquaintances can also make friends ...

Its very rare that interest would match rightaway - again depends on the type of interests I guess.

However agree that acquaintances would make shallow friends (rather than deep ones).
