So, work colleagues aside, how many of the people you know where you currently reside would you actually label 'friends'?

Beyond that, I am a "no mates."
I find it hard to make friends with people I have something in common with. Not really a whole bunch of atheists here in Georgia. I don't like "Girls Gone Wild", beer, cheating or hunting. So I'm sort of out of luck.

as for me I've got a few friends ...I never get to go to the nights out though ..boo hoo so I miss all the kid free fun
while some are just people to pass an afternoon with ..some I know I could depend on ..when you don't have family around in a crisis you really do need a few good friends ( having said that of course they are not as much fun as my mates back home would be if they lived round here )Unfortunately since discovering this place I've been spending way too much time on here...and I can't call on any of you for help in an emergency ...so bugger the lot of you!
