Making friends can be like dating. You meet, find out more about each other, and there's always the awkwardness about who makes the first move. We have found this in moving to a new church - we've met some people, but being the new ones in town we don't quite know how to act. Giving out our phone number would feel a bit like inviting ourselves into other people's lives rather finding out if we're actually friend-compatible.

PS - I know Jerry Seinfeld characterised dating as a job interview.
PPS - Maybe there's some deeper force at work in all three situations.
