Is it more important to have many friends than to have one really good friend (probably a boy/girlfriend or spouse)? How many close friends is right for you?
I've always been inclined towards just wanting one really special person with whom to share many and varied thoughts, feelings, and experiences. But over time I've often been told that it's good to be friends with many people. And I believe it. I wouldn't avoid trying to get to know someone now even if I know there's very little chance of us becoming a couple or becoming entwined. But then again, I am rather less interested if that chance is low.
Do most of your friends happen to be of one sex or the other, or is it a mixed group? Mine are skewed, mostly the opposite sex.
On this forum I'm hoping to meet someone with whom to discuss loneliness, relationships, and our personal experiences. But there is an alternative route of having the discussion publicly and with many people on the board. That way is less appealing to me - I would prefer the one-on-one. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Nevertheless, the many-on-many isn't bad.
