Friends are important to one's life – they provide you good company to make you enjoy the occasion; they stand by you when you need their help; and they cheer you up when you are sad. Whenever you are away from these friends, you have the need to find new friends to keep you company and stay away from being homesick.

When you are new to a certain location, it is important for you to reach out and find new friends. It is a way of getting familiar with the area and that people around know you better. They have a better understanding of what your needs are and this makes you easily approach them whenever you want to talk to them. It will be like creating a circle of friends as these people can introduce you to other people you might be interested in.

It is also important for you to keep coming back to the place for familiarity. Take for instance a visit to a boutique to find a new dress. As you keep coming to buy more clothes in this shop, the person in charge becomes familiar with your size and can provide you with what you need. There is not much hesitation as you get to know each other better. It may seem shy at first but it can create a friendship between both of you. You just do not realize it but you have invited her to have lunch with you.

In your search for new friends, the more you speak with her, the closer you become. You might even share similar views and acquaintances that you know. Constant company keeps the friendship binding and this allows you to discover new things about the person. Remember, what is essential is that you are enjoying each other's company and sooner, a relationship is valued. This is the basic rule of nature, and this is what keeps you human.
