I know that you've made a lot of friends off me, and a few dates too :) But I've also made a lot of friends off you (and probably a few romantic encounters) - so I don't really see what the problem is. That's what social groups are for - expanding your circle of friends.

And if those people then gravitate towards you, then that's just a reflection of the fact you're a likeable guy. It's not like you FORCE them to date you or be friends with you!

Historically, meeting through social circles is the way things have been done anyway - the Internet and meeting at clubs is a relatively new phenomenon...

*shrug* my 2c.

Yeah Dan you really gotta stop caressing Bryan's testicles when I'm not looking.

Never ever discuss my testicles in any public forum ever again.

Daniel, I think yours is a sensible, even a wise approach. If people who you know and like introduce you to someone new, then you are far more likely to be compatible with that new person.

Occasionally I attempt to widen my circle of friends by chatting to guys online, but there is always a greater risk that they are weird or that they are jerks. Sometimes, I am successful and introduce new people to my circle of friends

The hard work is already done, you know they're at least part way decent people (well, depending on how well you chose the FIRST circle of friends), and sharing is caring. I hate meeting people any other way... but yes, it can be upsetting in a very school yard way if you start getting along with the friend's friend better than the friend does.

Aaah. so this is what that odd comment was about the other day.. lol.. i don't have any problem with you stealing my friends. I mean, if anything, it gives me a chance to get away from them :P

But in all seriousness, no problem at all. :)

sych September 9 2007, 08:50:01 UTC

but yes i'll make sure i steal all your worthwhile friends
