About Friend In my OWN opinion, I think that the older as people growing, the harder can they make a close friend. Fortunately, they still can easily find someone to talk, but maybe they just can maintain a normal friendship with their friends. Even worse, some of those "friends" just are nodding acquaintance, they might say hi to you when you meet each other, but they would hardly ask you out, never so much as call you once. Maybe it reflects part of the socielty, and maybe the earlier we make a close friend, the longer can we maintain our friendship, I'm not sure, and I just haven't adapted it yet. It's just my personal idea, and I just wonder it.

Thanks, maybe "let it be" is a right choice:) and I'll figure it out someday. Good advises, I'll learn it by heart:)

Busy people see 100's of people every day. You can't expect everyone you know or even meet to be your "close" friend. It's normal to have friends of different closeness levels (in the USA). We have acquaintances. People we just see briefly during the week or month but we do not know them. We are polite to them and may or may not see them again. Neither person wants or has time to be more than an acquaintance. Then we have our long time good friends (maybe we will know them a lot longer - may not / people move, die etc...). Then we have our new friends - we don't know how long we will know them either. (The USA is big and people relocate to states far far away all the time.). Then we have our family. There is no shame in any of this, it's normal. China is HUGE ---- too! I'd expect that just like in the USA you have friends from your childhood who you may not know your whole life and then highschool..people marry and move - and you do too...this is normal. Older people can make friends anywhere and just as easily as you can. Don't judge them quickly. Friendship also depends upon the personality of the person. Different people want a different number / and different closeness level of friends. Some people want 100 best friends and some want only 1 or 2. Still there are people who find all friends very annoying! Welcome to the world! ^^

About Friends

I think that the older as people get the harder it is for them to make a close friend. Fortunately, they can still find someone to talk to.

but maybe they just ~~can~~ maintain a normal friendship with their friends. < I don't know what you mean.

Even worse, some of those "friends" just are nodding acquaintances, they might say "Hi" ~~to you~~ when you meet each other, but they would hardly ask you out, never so much as call you even once.

Maybe it reflects on ~~part of the~~ socielty, and maybe the earlier we make a close friend, the longer we can we maintain our friendships. I'm not sure, and I just haven't figured it out yet. It's just my personal idea, and I just wonder about it.

I think my friends from university will always be some of my best friends!

I think the easier way to distinguish between your closer friends and your ''colleagues'' is by examining and realizing who will come to help you when you are in need as well as when you help them out. You will graduate with some very good life time friends and also just remember them in your memories as some people you studied with as class mates or you knew. I agree. It's part of the life circle.
