Lots talk but few add, what's the secret of making friends here?

I think there are several barriers.

First and foremost, many are hesitant to make that 'add to circle' move for fear of being thought creepy/clingy.

Second, most here have had the experience of meeting someone who is just great from Jan 1 to Feb 10 - and then suddenly without warning, they just erupt.

Third, it helps ease into friendships if you first have positive interaction on posts.

I think the secret is to be patient, be consistent, and be understanding that someone may not respond in what we think is reasonable time, because they've got something going on.
