“I make connections with everyone,” Jeff said on Community.

But how does it last beyond the first impression? How do you know when the words so easily exchanged will exchange the same way the second time? And the promises made usually alcohol-induced are kept? Or is it all effort on both sides?

Every week, I meet new people. People who have moved to San Francisco. People who joined the company. People who are friends of friends or acquaintances. People who are random strangers through random coincidences. People with interests.

And there are only a select few that I remember. They are the ones that I incessantly stalk. They are in my “rounds”. They are salient when I come across something that they would like. And that’s in essence what a friend is, right?
