Personally i can judge if i want to be friends with anybody in the first 10 mins of meeting them. Also when i m in a particular relationship i expect diff. things in one relationships rather than diff. people with just one thing. ( i.e. companionship, intimacy etc.) Coz the reason chatting and dating sites are getting popular is our inherent need for quantity and not quality in life. I would love to deal with person i am seeing right now and the one i like bcoz, i wud'nt have chosen him/her if i had'nt thought we had a chance to make it work for a lifetime. P.S. I have had my share of friendships / relationships and most have fittered off not due to lack of time and commitment but bcoz of major fallouts / disappointment in the reasons we hit it off in the first place. The ones which lasted were the ones wherein there was a 10% chance of seeing it through and a 90% chance that it wouldnt see a cycle of 2 seasons. i dont see a need for keep making friends unlike some ppl who keep lookin

I keep my friendship circle small and intimate. Now 'associates' that's a completely different story.
In any essence, I don't need a lot of friends to determine who's right and who's not. I can get a good feel on a person withn the first few conversations. Now whether I follow my instinct and stict to the first intial impression that's a totally different story.
I will socialize and 'associate' with several people
but I refer to them as 'associates'.
Those that are bumped up to 'friend' category...well that's very few. As I get older and wiser, my selection method for choosing a friend becomes more refined as well - so in reality most of the friends that I do claim...well that have been my friends for years. Typically old high school or college buddies. They've weathered the test of time and been with me thru the thick and thin.
You can't get that type of friendship after 10 minutes of convo.

if this is about internet relationships and such related matters, in my opinion and experience, it does not work.
Dating on the internet to me is like going to a costume ball hoping to find the right person or friend. You only see what they want you to see and do what they want you to observe. It is fun for a while because it is more exciting than the duldrums of everyday life. There is no easy way to prove or disporve what someone is saying to you.
My advice for meeting people is to get involved in things you enjoy doing and joining groups or clubs with the same interest. Or even volunteering in areas you are interested in.

Its not so much the quantity of friends that one needs, it the quality of the friendship, as with most things in life.
One good, honest trusting friend is better than a 1000 aquaintences.
You never really know a person until you've done 3 things with them:
1) Lived with them
2) Had a business transaction with them
3) Travelled with them on a long journey

It hard because you have to remain true to all people and not show too many faces as people will not trust you. We all want meet people who are honest and not people who change like the weather, as one day you will need them and no-one will be there. Be true to you close friends and honest to you associations.

Friendship consists not in the number, but in their worth and choice.
