Since the treadmills were all occupied, I was just waiting for one to get free, and so I casually picked up a conversation with these 2 girls. Just to make fun of them, I asked them if they had any friends in the dance class. After they replied "Oh yeah, we've got loooooooots of friends", I simply asked them whether they'd be interested in giving me some of their friends because I didn't have any friends. To that, they promptly refused, but they pointed at the folks on the treadmills and told me that I could have them for friends.
To this, I said they may not want to be my friends, and that if I knew that they were my friend's friends, it would be easier to make friends (ok, I hope that sentence wasn't confusing). For which, the girls nearly floored me with their reply:
Why dont you just ask them? They will become your friends. It is that easy.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say. I didn't have the heart to tell her that once you're all grown up, it isn't as easy making friends.
Or is it?
Will people start wondering what exactly are your intentions? Do you have an ulterior motive for this sudden "request"?
Is "Life" really that complicated?
