I like Bill. Seems like a guy that knows what he wants. This Rolando seems like a dweeb trying to tell everyone what to do and is obviously unstable. Avoid him at all costs. And forget Megan. If you can't be her freind without the help of Rolando...she's not worth it. She's obviously a snob. And you...you need to quit trying to manipulate everyone and judging everyone as well. Your trying to use others as a tool to make friends and that says alot for your character. Yeah...Bill sounds like the only sane one in the bunch. Either hang out with him and quit worrying about what others think...or go find some new friends. And quit playing these stupid games. It's very immature and quite pathetic. Glad I could help.

I do feel that both Rolando and Bill are meant to be friends and they do have alot in common, I have never really liked Bill growing up and I shouldn't let the turmoils and situations he has gone through get the better of me cause the past is the past! I also believe that Bill is trying to get his act together and that him being friends with Rolando is one of the greatest moments of his life, I do feel that I was trying to manipulate people into being friends with them so I can be friends with them, I used to think that Megan was my ticket to having alot of friends and I now realized that me having the same amount of friends as Megan isn't really in the cards.

As for Rolando I do like him and he is a really nice guy, there are some things I like to see him work on like for him to stop being persistant and persuasive towards people and I do feel that Rolando really thinks highly of me and I want Rolando to have nothing but the best, there are times when I feel that I do care too much about Rolando and I sometimes worry about him whenever he is hurting or going through hard times.

Anyways I wanna apologize for the way I've acted this evening towards me wanting Rolando to be friends with Megan, I was in a really bad mood this evening and I've just vented it all out, I used to think that if I was good friends with Megan I could live the easy life and be surrounded by alot of friends.

Over the years since my college days, I've had different clusters of friends. And they never mixed well, so I stopped trying to introduce them all to each other. It's because I'm friends with them for different reasons and common interests. Actually what's good about having separate friends is being able to hang out with the one that fits my energy level and mood better. Some friends are better to see live music at clubs with, others to go to a nice restaurant with. And if one friend is being annoying, then I go hang out with someone else. Even better, there is no cross gossiping between the groups also. And that means less drama in my life.

I also have a different group of friends of all ages and all walks of life, there are friends I like to go bowling with and I also go to the movies with them, I've met those people through my brother and they're all really nice people who are fun to be around, I have other friends who I go to the local sports games with along with restaurants and we sometimes do things at their houses and of course with my best friend Rolando we all get together and do a wide variety of stuff, I do most of my activities with Rolando than I do with my other friends, I tend to feel more relaxed when I'm with my other friends than I do towards Rolando and while Rolando is a very nice guy he can be an acquired taste and he is nothing like the other people I have ever met.

I'd agree with this, if only Bill wasn't a woman beater....

So I too say go make some new friends.

ASnd the number of them doesnt matter, as soon as you sdtop trying to impress people and just be yourself, you'll find yourself getting more friends, and ones that respect you, like you, and you like, real friends.

This sounds like the next season of "The Real World".

Will Megan hook up with Bill in the hot tub?
Will Rolando and Bill be able to control their rage?
Who will Mopac throw into the mix next week?

Seriously, just be who YOU are and stop trying to manipulate the people around you.

I definitely agree with you that all what it takes to get friends is just being yourself and don't expect alot out of them and people would like you for it, since this last summer I've made alot of friends through my younger brother and we all would get together and go bowling on Thursday nights and it's alot of fun getting together with those guys and they really think that I'm a cool guy.

I'm starting to feel greatful that I am friends with those guys and they are alot of fun to be around, fortunately they never seem to do something that angers me, while both Bill and Rolando have done something that has angered me I will definitely still be friends with them and know that I will be there for them and what they deserve to have is a great caring friend

I would say this, be friends with Bill and Rolando, but don't give to them more than they give to you. In other words, don't be a patsy and let them use you. A good healthy friendship is balanced. You give, stop and then let them give back to you. If they never give back to you, then stop putting yourself out to them and letting yourself be taken advantage of. Friends are not charity cases. Charity cases should only be viewed as charity cases and not mistaken for being your friends.
