It's going in the right direction if we have mutual contact(i.e. seeking each other out). If it's one sided, nothing you do is going to advance it to a mutual friendship. Part of the problem lies with me. There's nothing interesting that happens in my life, which leaves me with very little to talk about in regards to myself. As far as being loyal and "got your back" I'm all about that. But yeah qualities like that have to be valued by another. Oh and I'm 31.
Honestly, meeting new people is easy. It is acute failure to progress to the point of mutuality that is frustrating.
But at least you have a boyfriend. Yeah I know, you still need friends, but you're not completely all alone either. No gf in 4 years, and no real friend for longer(I lost count). All I have is my mom. It's gonna be..interesting when it's her time to leave this world.
Anyway, I wish you luck, though having read some of your posts here, I can't see why you have any difficulties making friends.
