hey guys,
next year i will be in my final year at college and will be turning 18. i feel that i do not have a best friend, a friend who i will invite to my 21st birthday, or in the future my wedding as my best man.
about myself. i'm 17, male, id like think i'm a pretty intelligent and athletic guy who's pretty good in most of my school subjects especially maths and sciences. which i'm planning to also do next year and hopefully get a degree eventually at uni.
in my first year at college i used to hang out with friends from my old school (all mostly intelligent and athletic also), but due to the fact that we were all in different classes, we all drifted apart and made new friends. i used to have two really good best friends, we used to invtie each other to birthdays etc but that doesn't happen anymore. i still occasionally talk to them but don't feel that we had the same conection as we did back then. one of my friends left the school, but i've lost contact with him.
the friends that i did have in the same class, i kinda ditched for some more intelligent friends for the sake of getting better school marks at that time. but now i regret ditchin them, as i liked how we used to talk about everything, girls, cars, sports, movies etc
i find my current friends kinda boring, not oudoorsy, not my type anymore ... not a potential bestman/best friend. we get on pretty well, we mostly talk about computers, games, school, not girls (btw their not gay) .. i guess thats pretty much it. they do not have same physique as me so they i thats why they're alway behind the computers or stayin at home to study while there's a sports day. my being with them i think is the reason as to why i am not the guy i used to be, hence the reason why i haven't had any girlfriends since or for that matter few female friends
i have made and lost many friends but have never had friends or a best friends like i did back then. last year i tried to kinda get back with them but to no avail, as i felt i wasn't wanted anymore, it didn't feel right.
i was just wondering if anyone out there is/was in a similar situation as myself and how they are/did deal with it. or how to make new frends/keep them, how to renew old friendships, or not to worry about the best friend/bestman thing as of yet. or should i just keep the friends i got.
thanks in advance and also for taking your time
