make real friends that share my interests

By sharing interests with more distant friends. I’d invited one of my friends who I would normally only see a film with to play five-a-side football and he loves it and have become a closer friendship. Also one of my friends that I play chess with has introduced me to a game that comes from China called ‘Volley Bird’. It’s like kicking around a ‘hacky sack’ but instead a feathered shuttlecock is used. It’s more of a cooperative game than a competitive one but it’s still a real challenge and will no doubt improve my football skills.

I think I’m just becoming more receptive to the things that interest me and am attracting friends that share a similiar interest. Though I’m not delibirately going out there searching for people, more that I’m searching for things that interest me and people naturally are part of that process. And it is great when those people know you after some time and become your friends.

I have made two friends who share an interest in playing chess and another who is a film buff like me.
