How do you stay in touch?
Meeting people is easy. Getting to know people is easy. Making friends out of them is easy. Yet keeping friends seems impossible for me.
At first I'd invite them to do shit together and they'd invite me, we'd talk regularly and generally just learn about each other. It lasts a week, a month, a few months perhaps. After that it just dies. I run out of things to talk about. They're no longer as eager to meet up, initiate contact or even respond. I could understand if it happens once or twice, but every single person I've been remotely social to in the past few years has withered away despite my efforts to not let it wither away. It makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
So what is the "right" way to keep your friends? How do you guys make your friends?
OP, what age are you?
Arranging meetups and keeping friends is damn hard past college years, so I heard.
RL friends are for plebs. Just make internet friends

College-aged. I'm a few years older than the average student, but for some reason most people think I'm the youngest of their group or close to it. It's the main reason it's so easy to meet people and make friends.
Just getting started as well (late student), so 'past college years' won't be causing this problem anytime soon.

I am in college and unsocial, so most friends are my friends, because they are far more outgoing than me. Randomly bump into one on campus and small talk once a week. Sometimes we are busy and don't talk for a couple of months (not talking about close friends here).
Stated above plus not turning down invitations seems to do the job.
Keeping in touch in facebook may help, asking for notes, information collaborative studies.
Don't know how long these friendships will last though.
Students in my college are ambitious and love helping each other and networking, so maybe more effort should be put in other places.
I have the opposite problem
I cant meet people but my friends stayed with me and we get together sometimes and go out
But as you get older its harder to arrange a meetup with people
They all have relationships, jobs, some are getting married etc
