How do you get a new bff?

Answer 1

BFF, I thought that meant Best Friend Forever but as it turns out, it really means Best Faux Friend, or is it Best Friend For Now (until someone else comes along). The reason I say this is because of the evidence I find in all of the questions about BFFs.

If I were you, I would forget about a BFF and concentrate on a friend, an actual friend. You make a real friend slowly. You get to know a number of people. Over time, you get the feel for who would be a compatible friend and companion. This conclusion is derived from experience with that person and how you feel about that person, not words, not what you call each other. Making friends is not that difficult, you behave toward others as you wish they would behave toward you (yes, the Golden Rule). If you're nice to people because you 'need' a new BFF, that's phony (and needy); it may get you a BFF but it won't get you a friend. Go for the gold!
