If your freinds gets to clingy remind her that you want to meet new people. Just be yourself and I'm sure people will come talk to you. I hope everything works out.

We spent all our time together & ended up not having any other friends. My advice to you is to kind of make some space between you two, but not too much. Still be best friends but just make sure you have room for others. Good luck.

karie28 answered Monday June 12 2006, 9:37 pm: Why are you afraid that you won't make other friends if you hang out with your bestfriend a lot? Is she sort of a "hindrance"? Is she possesive? Isn't she happy when you hang out with other people? If not, what are you Really afraid of?!?!
You said that she's been your bestfriend for like, Forever. And it seems to me like you are gonna Ditch your BESTFRIEND just so you can make Other friends.
Can't you befriend other people with her around?
Let me tell you a bit of my own story: I have a really wide circle of friends and I even have TWO bestfriends.Take note: my two b f's aren't that close to each other. It's just that the other one came in first than the other.
I don't know why you're scared that you wouldn't be able to make other friends with your bestfriend around cuz hey, I didn't have any problem befriending other people considering that I have two b f's.

i think what you should do is: hang out with her, but also hang out with some other people WiTH her. just like in a big group. before you know it you will BOTH have a ton of new friends! but remember : it's okay to meet new people on your own too ! just make sure you dont like exclude your friend or anything !! i hope i helped ! write back if you need anything else! - ♥ katie [ ASKxKATiEx3's advice column | Ask ASKxKATiEx3 A Question ]

'Make new friends
but keep the old
One is silver
and the other gold.'
Basically it's saying that it's okay to have more than one best friend. You don't have to spend all your time with her, but don't ditch her either. It could also be fun to make friends that both of you like, and do some group things together. There will be times when you'll do something with a different friend, and that's okay. She'll make other friends too. But you don't have to lose her, and you don't have to keep yourself from making new friends. Share the love!
