where did you meet your friends?

I realised I don't have any friends from school. My best friend was at college with me, we were in the same English class. My other best friend was at a youth theatre with me.
Do you have friends who you've known your whole life?
Do you think it's harder to make new friends as you get older? I've known my 2 best friends for nearly 10 years and although I've met other people since then they always seem to be acquaintences/people I occasionally go for a drink with rather than proper friends.

I see some of them when I'm at work, though I wouldn't class them as friends, rather as people-who-I-know.
I've got friends at uni, but I haven't really known them very long as I've only been there a year.
Other friends I've made are from work, but they are all far older than me, and from the canoe club. Again, they aren't my age but they're still my friends.
My newest friends are from here (you know who you are :yes:).
I think in some circumstances it's harder to make friends as you get older, as people have to spend so much time working. If you don't like the people you work with then there isn't much scope for being sociable with them and you don't have much time out of work to make friends either.
Im notoriously crap at making friends cos I can be terribly shy at times.
Have a few friends from school, the rest is from drugs, clubs, gigs, shit like that.
Got pals from when I stayed in Dundee, mostly through work and uni, and I'm settled with pals down here now.
That's the good thing about moving about a bit, you meet so many cool people and stuff, and if you're ever a bit stuck in a rut, you've always someplace else to go for a weekend or whatever.
Anyway, the best strategy is speaking to people (work is usually the best bet), and put yourself out there, go to parties etc.
I think I've always been pretty good at making friends and influencing people
Flo, Paul, Christian, Toni.
Some are from gymnasium (like high school), Lukan, Toni#2, Ali, Nadine, Nobsi, Haxi, Igor.
Some are from the pub, but mostly friends of friends etc.
Many are from my work as paramedic as a civil servant.
If you speak german, Igor is probably the funniest person you'll ever know. I had to go to the school doctor once, because I pulled a muscle from laughing, when he mocked the teacher.
Well, if you ever come to vienna, be sure to let me know beforehand, I will make an AWESOME cake and we make a fricken barbeque on the donauinsel like we did this year (pix attached)... the we get all drunk, make rain dances, and play hide and seek! or something :yeees:
I hope you were not joking and I let myself look like a moron here
Oh, and I do love a good rain dance!
Just called my dad, he will give me the pix of my handycrafted cake in a bit (it's on his laptop). After you saw those, you'll be here tomorrow already
heh, anyway... Looking forward to it
It does get harder to make friends as you get older, but I've got friends from uni and work. Many of my friends come through the wife, to be honest.
I met my best friend in school. We've been best mates for years now.
I also have a few good friends I've met on here. How sad.
Oh, and check the last pic out. It's our garden
