I need advice, please.

Lately I have been desperately trying to associate myself with a new group of friends, which for the most part, has been successful. My problem is I am longing for a best friend. There is someone who I would love to form a best friendship with, but I do not know how to go about doing it. I want a friendship that lasts long past high school, and seeing how he is a year ahead of me, that bond needs to form soon. Please please help me. I need advice on how to form such a close bond without seeming annoying, overbearing, obsessed, etc. Thanks in advance!

Having a best friend is something that takes time. Some individuals give trust to everyone before they meet and vise versa. I'm the type of person who gives some trust when I meet you based on how I broke you down as a person. I don't know how you are but do you trust someone to know everything about you, and do you expect someone to tell you everything about them when you both just met.

If you've started to hang out with a new group of friends, keep doing what your doing. Friends are a group of people who enjoy the same hobbies, enjoy each others company, and like to be around each other. I'm sure that you'll find a close enough friend -to call your best friend- by continuing to hang out with people. Finding a best friend involves finding a real friend first.

My suggestion is to offer to spend time with this one person whom you want to be a best friends with and do things you enjoy. Don't throw yourself onto them, just be yourself. You'll find that discovering a best friend takes time because trust is key. Let time take it's course, you have many years and friendships to discover.

Any questions, feel free to PM me. Good luck, Matt.
