So what happened to those other friends? Did they just dissolve and turn out not to be worth it? Or do you feel you can't get back in touch with them after so long? Either way, it sounds like you need to make new friends... ok, join a club, get a job, go to a bar, talk to people you used to know from school and get introduced to their friends too, or talk to people you never used to know from school and get friendly with them. Friends often crop up in the strangest places, but once you have a couple of friends, you can get introduced to their friends by going out, then their friends' friends, and it grows like that. What is actually the problem with speaking to these girls from high school?
