Wow! So she started “commitment ceremonies” for friends? Uh uh… I wouldn’t be interested in that at all. Honestly, if she approached me with this, I’d ask her if this was Amway or some kind of pyramid scheme (I hate those).
I’m not a people person so my circle of friends is very small. It’s just four of us. My BFF from my childhood, her sorority sister and my friend who I met from my biological sciences honor society membership when I was in undergrad — we all live in the same state not far from each other now. I met a few friends in vet school when I lived in East Lansing but they were more study friends than friends I hang out with. Coming back to Minnesota to be back with the three of them again just made us that much closer. We are very close.
In the article, she compared arranged marriages with arranged friendships. Friends also come when you’re not looking for them just as some spouses do. I met my close friends and my husband when I wasn’t looking for them. To each their own, I guess.
