How long it takes to make friends?

Apparently quite long in my case. I think I manage to shock my colleague when I told him I only have 1 friend in Melbourne, (well I have one more, but I don't think if she still considers me her friend). Makes me sounds like pitiful orphan Annie. Well I hasten to mention I have friends, just that they are all not in Koala Land and I am just here for 1.5 years. How many friends he expects me to have? It's not like you can buy them from the supermarket.

Despite going out, volunteering and stuff, I just haven't met anyone I can click and this takes awhile as I am generally reserve in front of strangers. You know, introvert and all (Moo : Snort ~). Anyway I have taken a more aggressive stand in my quest to find the right man by initiating the first contact. They have this ice breaker module that helps....well, break the ice by initiating some baby steps questions to get to know a person better. I send out like > 20 of it and only 2 return the favor. Out of the 2 only 1 proceed to stage 3 and he is pretty weird. I call him Mr Sensitive. I engage him partly cause Nite ask to give chance. 

This is starting to look more and more like the job hunting episode in 2012 and the whole thing is taking on a facebooky feel. Last 2 days I just skim through the profile and if i like what I glimpse I will initiate the ice breaker. Otherwise I hide profile away. OCD showing even in online dating. That is exactly like what I do in Facebook, skim, like, next article.

I am realist. I don't expect to meet the one anytime soon but I expect to at least meet someone but there is no one.. who knows this can be so hard... ~faint~
