Friends

I don’t know about you but I sometimes have trouble maintaining friendships. It may be because we’re all so busy but it may be also because some people just aren’t good friends. I have a few good friends who I’ve been friends with for years now. They remember to call me and catch up or make plans to meet up. I return the gesture as well. But then there are friends who I go great lengths for and get shit on. Often they are females. I never have problems maintaining friendships with any of my male friends. I really wish I could have the male bonding that males have with their other male friends. A Bromance if you may. I don’t have friends I can meet up with every week and just do everything and nothing with them. I have many acquaintances and many people to meet up with here and there but I haven’t had a strong bond with someone since I was in high school. Some people think it’s good to have many friends so that you have a different crowd every week but I rather have a few friends who I have a strong bond with. If I try, I get taken advantage of or am disappointed with their behavior. Stop being so dramatic and childish. So I’m curious with all those strong friendships, how does one go about developing a strong non-sexual bond with someone? I could use the input.
