Friends come from sharing an experience together.

Childhood friends, I met from school or my neighborhood. We hung out. Kids did that. You're right, adults don't really do that much.

Then there came relationships and children. I rarely hung out with friends anymore.

Now I am spending much more time with my old friends from when I was a kid. Since our kids have grown, we reconnected. There is so much comfort with them, because we did just hang out and nothing has changed.

It has been really hard to make new, really good friends, in my adult years.

People get together occasionally for dinner. Maybe you make a friend you like to do some sport with. People become friends for ulterior business reasons. I hated the phoniness and wouldn't play the game.
