find good friends

I feel that it’s so hard to find real friends that are true friends. I haven’t been able to find a friend that i can completely rely on and know that she will be there for me. I am still looking and won’t give up she is there some where!

i wannabe good friends

As a Black female professional, I have outgrown all my childhood friends and past friends. I got a good job, make decent money, have a car paid off, a good education, and an equally professional boyfriend. Problem: I’m from a rural town where hourly mill jobs are considered sweetness. I’m not better now just different. My old folks are either or a combination of the following things: mill workers/service workers (they have no time to hang working jobs at $5/hr trying to make rent); parents with multiple kids (they got bad azzz kids, too); divorce singles/parents (don’t get me started on the bitterness of it all about so-and-so’s triflin’ baby daddy not paying child support, etc.); married/shacking up (their man don’t want them going anywhere without hassle with another single female and they are afraid to let the poor guy out of their sight fearful that they will run back to their ex-girlfriend/baby mama,etc.). So this year since I have found a boyfriend that’s up to par, I want to continue this trend with good friends with similar lifestyles (not necessary backgrounds)as mine.

It’s great that you and your BF are so close. My Man and I are that close too; in fact, we’re BFF (best friends forever).

Don’t be afraid to reach out to others - the best way to find good friends is to be a good friend yourself. Put yourself on the line a few times, but don’t feel too hurt if people don’t accept your friendship. My mother-in-love always says, “if they don’t want to be my friend, it’s their loss, not mine!”

i want to find good friends that i can always count on. i only have one n that is my boyfriend!
