Does anybody find that the older you get, the harder it is to make new friends?

Nope
I think it's more to do with the type of person you are and your personality.
Well that's my views blushing

I don't know about friends Jazz, but definitely acquaintances or people to socialise with. conversing

When I moved to Ireland 8 years ago I didn't know anyone and ended up in a big social group, great time, made lots of friends (nearly all my close friends I still have are from that time) and had a hectic social life. cool

Normal development, people marry, move on etc. I moved places and it's not as easy to get to know people here as it was a couple of years ago. But it does happen, I joined a club, met a nice group and having a good social life again, but it's just different compared to when I was younger. dunno

freeze them for sure
and you can make lovely blackberry crumble too smitten
I love that because it is so easy to make and you don't have to dirty the kitchen table rolling out the pastry like you do for a pie grin

hey jazz..

dont think its age..or personality..or gender even

people need something big in common (esp the harder types who hate admitting they would like a few new friends) and the making friends bit has to seem almost accidental to them or their now weirdos if they seek friendships..

its very typical of irish culture..to not admit and hate feeling weak and in need of people.
