Are they decisive?

When will they make a decision?

Why are you waiting for them to make a decision for you to make a decision?

What are their decisions based upon?

How often do you spend quality time with them?

How do you spend time together?

Are you predicting you'll spend more or less time with these people in the future and why?

Friends

Friends play a critical role in our happiness and well-being Many of us have what we would call vital lifelong friends, those few really close friendships you share all of life's ups and downs with. And then we have social friends, the bigger group of people you enjoy and socialize with on more of a casual infrequent basis

Your lifelong friends are irreplaceable and there just aren’t substitutes. But there is a high possibility that you have the ability to make social friends in a new environment.

YES NO

Do you have friends who you would like to live near?

How often do you spend quality time with them?

What do you have in common with them and how do you spend your time together?

Do you currently have an activity or an interest that readily allows you to meet new people easily?
