How to meet people and form lasting relationships (Score 1)

Business and personal formation of relationships is much the same for me. I have a lot of relationship challenged friends and below is a link to some of the pointers I have given over the years. Examples include: Go to house parties. When you meet someone there you already have something to talk about, "How do you know the host?, etc" I suggested this to a physicist/patent attorney friend of mine after he tried the online thing (48 dates/52weeks = big food bill) and he ended up meeting his wife. I also think that you are just more relaxed and confident surrounded by people you know. This and lots more can be found on www.bayareabutchers.com
