“One friend for life is a lot; two friends is a lot; three friends is hardly possible. ”(Henry Brooks Adams)
Bromance is a close platonic friendship, support and deep affection between two men. In order to find the right person and maintain a strong friendship, efforts are needed. As social studies show , a quarter of the US population is subject to "chronic loneliness", and half of the French people feel acute alienation. The fact that people crave communication and strong relationships shows the growth of social networks and dating clubs.
How to find a friend
Spend more time with the guys. Chat with your friends about your interests. Some men begin to make friends with husbands of friends of their wives. Easy conversations are made in the gym and computer rooms. If men are going to kick a ball under your window, you need to join the game. Common activities and goals bring together and do not mediate embarrassment, when in communication you need to concentrate solely on personalities.
No need to look for your copy, a friend may have his own interests and hobbies. You should not consider only your peers as candidates for friends, a friend may be younger or older, of another nationality or culture.
If you recently met a potential best friend, you need to know some simple ways to develop relationships.
From dating to real bromance
Real bromance - what is it? How to understand that from simple acquaintances your relationship has moved to a new stage? Bromance is a concept that means having a reliable ally who can listen, understand and support. It is with this person that there is a willingness to discuss personal topics that are not covered by others.
Seeking advice is an indicator of respect, it also encourages being an accomplice in unfolding events.
Bromance is a living relationship that needs to be maintained. Strong friendship, easy communication and understanding cannot be achieved only by adding someone to friends on social networks. A really good relationship requires regular meetings and an open exchange of thoughts, and this takes enough time.
There are popular men's rituals: playing poker, going to the gym, sauna, watching a football match with beer, going to the cinema or to a concert of your favorite group, fishing.
What not to do:
Do not remind about the date of dating and celebrate it in some unusual way. This is more inherent in women.
No need to like his photo often and leave comments, send emoticons.
Even good friends can make mistakes and grieve, do not be offended for a long time, if there is every reason for forgiveness.
No need to get close to a person who taunts appearance, relatives, religion, manner of communication. Do not try to change something in life, you need to look for another option.
If you notice that a friend is abusing kindness, whispering behind his back, spreading gossip, you need to stop communication.
Caution should be taken with pseudo-friends who seek connections for profit, career advancement, or money. Such individuals can betray and inflict spiritual wounds.
No need to rant about the personal affairs of the one who has dedicated you to this. If it becomes known that someone's personal life has become the property of everyone, it is unlikely that your relationship will develop.
Do not invade personal space if you are not yet allowed in there yourself. If after the question of how life is, you will hear a dry “Normal” answer, you should stop at this stage.
There should not be a sense of control of life and the fact that a friend tightened the nuts.
What gives a real male friendship
