He would just yack, and yack. Some times I would put the phone down, and come back in 5 minutes, and he would still be talking. He was eccentric, had a horrid childhood, but genuinely nice.
I thought he was nuts, but nice.
We ended up becoming best friends. They used to call us the odd couple.
I ended up trusted him more than family. We just included each other in everthing without even thinking. My girlfriends were put off by him at first, but he would wear them down talking, and before I knew it, he was calling them daily. And when he missed a day, they would ask me if he is ok. He never crossed the line either.
He died a few years ago, but his friendship technique was something I thought was brilliant. Just wear the person down.
I can pass this along, I once heard a therapist say something like, make friends with people your own age, or younger. Her rationale was they will die before you.
When I was in my tewenties, I just didn't have much in common with my peers. I wasen't more mature, but didn't like my generation that much. My friends were just older. I really loved all of them.
If I had a do-over, I might have really tried to make friends with people my own age. I'm all alone now. It does suck.
Anyways, my eccentric friend knew how to make friends. I haven't tried his technique, but might?
