Making friends requires a set of skills, techniques and of course, experience to know how to achieve that first contact, then comes the inclusion and finally the permanence over time. Oh, and if that wasn't enough: common tastes. We cannot forget about them.

For many people, making friends comes naturally and easily. I see it a lot in children, who with great ease, sympathy and authenticity approach another child and in a matter of minutes they go to play. At the end of the day they have a new best friend - how easy it is in children!
In the case of adults, for example, in my country Venezuela, I notice that striking up a conversation comes naturally. It is very easy to talk to another person in a bakery, in a supermarket or even while riding public transportation.
With my friend Josefina, I met her at the university.
Striking up a conversation is easy, but creating a lasting friendship is a bit complex. I have two friends who have remained friends through time, one of them I met, according to her information (I don't remember), in fourth grade, at a time when I was 9 years old.
The other friend, I met when I started college, I was 19 years old and she was 31 years old. Both are still my friends and although we live in distant cities, the friendship is still as strong as the first day. The basis of that friendship: respect.

Currently I have new friendships that have come out of #hive. God, how incredible, the union and rapport that the #holos-lotus community has achieved beyond the virtual world. And the fact is that these new friendships have been born from our common coincidences and tastes. We are all related to the #holos-lotus community, and we all like biodanza. Well I am an eternal biodancer, they: @mosa71 and @marielacr07 are teachers.
From my point of view it is key to create lasting friendships to have certain ingredients as if it were a magic position: a tablespoon of respect, sparks of coincidences, several drops of common tastes, a stream of desire to listen and be heard, and love in bulk, of this ingredient there is no measure.
