how come it is hard to find people to just be friends on the web or even in person?

Get your mind right. Stop thinking that friends must become more than just that.(friends), enjoy them as friends, and always try and seek to "person" of your dreams

Online. If you want to meet people just for the sake of friendships - meeting people online is perhaps the best bet. For instance, on Yahoo! Answers or in any of the Yahoo! Chatrooms that Dr. Checko suggested. You can always meet new people in online forums, and since Answers works the same way like a forum - you can also meet new people here! Isn't that great!?\n\nGet a 360° account and start connecting with people you like. Eventually, you'll have a bunch of friends you can communicate with. I did that and now I'm building a friend list on my 360° account.

Most people find it hard to make friends when they're trying to appear to be someone other than themselves.  The true part of you, the part that makes you different from everyone else, is the part that can be loved.  If you're hiding that part out of fear, then no one can get to know you.\n\n\nAs hard as it sounds, you've got to learn to relax.  You can do this by finding things that YOU like to do, and join a club or take a class in it, or go where people gather to do that.  Then you will meet people who share your interests; and you will also have something to talk about besides the weather. When you start having fun, people will be attracted to you naturally.

Maybe try being humble.  You're looking for a group of friends, as I understand it.

I believe it's possible because that's how I met my husband :) ! I also have a few friends who have also met their significant others through the Internet. I believe it's a good way to meet because you really get to know a person. Whereas I'm shy and take a while to open up to someone in person, I can talk more freely and answer questions this way.

Well there are millions upon millions people in this world. You can definitely find one. Try out some websites like www.penpals.com , www.myspace.com, and www.friendster.com. Go into Yahoo forums and chat rooms and talk with people that share your interests. Good Luck!

May people use the internet as a source of meeting people.  But, you have to be careful.  As you know, there are many fools and retards in this world.  The nearest mall to you could be a place to meet new people, or even at a club.  It all depends on your personality.  If you are a stay-at-home person, then meeting people on the internet is best for you.  If you are an outgoing person, then clubs (ME ;-)) would be a great source of finding friends.  If you are church going and "One With God", then the best place to find friends would be in a church-based environment.  You see, it all depends on your personality.

lola, honey, sites??  My first question to you is "Why internet websites?"  Real friends that you can go shopping with or go to the movies with, in my humble opinion, are much preferable to online friends. \n\nYou go about finding good online friends much the same way as you would finding real world friends.  Think about the activities/hobbies that you like to do and join groups associated with those hobbies.    \n\nYahoo Groups is an excellent example.\n\nYahoo, also, has many health related groups if you have health related issues and would like to find friends for support.  \n\nThere is also Internet Relay Chat that can be downloaded and will give you access to millions of internet chat rooms. \n\nAlways, any where you go, be very careful about the online friends you choose.  The Internet allows people to be anyone they choose.  Deception is prevailent.  Be careful!!

Sometimes, you meet somone with the pretext of being in a relationship and not friends.  If it clicks, it progresses.  On the other hand, if you make a friend, it will definitely take too long.

It has in the past. You just can't wait to get to 'talk' to them next, it's great fun and you get nervous but not too nervous.\n\nHave fun, but just be careful, okay!\n\nSome people are as nice as they seem online. Some aren't. You never know.

It's just an alternative in looking for someone...in no way is it better or worse then going out some place to meet someone.  You can learn a lot from someone online in a shorter amount of time then you can anywhere else.  Saves people from wasting their time and lessens the chance of getting hurt or disappointed.

Because you don't really know the person you are talking to on the internet, i wouldn't go and meet anybody. I mean you can always take a few friends with you and you all go out to the movies together or whatever you want to do.

THERE IS NO WAY BECAUSE TO HAVE A TRUE FRIENDSHIP \nYOU HAVE TO BE TRUTHFUL AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO IS BEING TRUTHFUL ON THE NET
