Moral lesson: get to know that person in personal way by asking personal questions gradually. Also helps if you both go thru significant events together

Me when I introduce my best friend to my other friends and then they start hanging out without me:
Time to search this up!

[taylorror]

it feels like my friends arent even my friends. i mean its not awkward, or atleast on my end. ill ask a question, and they answer, but it normally doesnt even last long enough, and it feels as if im interviewing them.

The best way to make a friend is to spend a lot of time together doing activities. That’s why it’s easy to become friends with a classmate who sits next to you every day vs. someone you rarely spend time with. And I think you should really open up about yourself and say things about yourself first before you ask them personal questions

i am a little surprised to see how come he only has 2k subs, i found his videos and emails very helpful, you deserve a lot more.

A big piece of information missing here is that you need to share information about your personal life with them as well. They are not going to open up unless you do.

[Immatteodupont]

[tttwutx]

This is what happens when you’re awkward and don’t know what to say or do.. hi that’s me

[motherprisma]

I’m crushing on this woman and this helps thanks

[sheeplegend]

That is insane, how is asking them gradually more personal questions going to help me get a close friend

[raczyk]

Would also have to disclose personal information? Cause if you just ask questions, that be like an interview.

I met a coworker about 4 months ago. We started out just casual talking and I’ve noticed we’ve started talking about our upbringings, how we were raised, where we’re from, etc. I check up on him whenever I notice him having a bad day. I remember he went on vacation for 2 weeks and I didn’t see him on the week he came back. Thought he went on vacation for 3 weeks. When eventually I did see him he looked upset and ignored me. Saw him again and he waved from a far but didn’t say anything. I went into his room and he somewhat indirectly said he was upset we didn’t cross paths the 1st week he came back. He and I call each other “brother” / “bro”. He’s a cool dude. Sometimes I hear ppl call him things or talk about him but I don’t involve myself in that. Lately he’s been a bit “off” again and I can’t figure out what it is

I wanna become friends with someone who has catched my eye, but he always goes with 4 other friends of his, I've started working together with him and 1 of his friends in a group project at university. But is still very difficult and almost impossible to approach him alone. And I don't want that the rest of either groups (his friends or the project group) really notice that I have a preference for him above the rest. How would you handle the situation?
P.s. I don't have any romantic interest for him and I barely know him but since we've started the project, I've started liking him more and I really wanna know more about him and become friends with him.
