Finding a new best friend can be harder than finding a partner due to various reasons. There is no easy platform like Tinder for finding friends, and asking potential friends of the opposite sex to hang out can be misconstrued as flirtatious. It can also be challenging to figure out how to make new friends, and admitting that you have no friends may push people away. Asking for a phone number from a platonic stranger can feel awkward, and as people get older, it becomes harder to feel like part of the "cool kids" or find friends who meet certain criteria. Rejection from friendship can hurt more than relationship rejection, and there is a concern about dealing with fake people. Embarrassing situations or incompatible personalities can also hinder the process of finding a new best friend. Ultimately, finding friends who share the same wavelength and background becomes more difficult as one gets older.
