Unexpected friendship

[Li****]

Do you have a story or personal experience about an unexpected friendship? Sometimes we end up finding a friend in someone we never would have thought we would connect with, or in a situation where we were not at all looking to make new friends. It can be with someone who you thought you had nothing in common with, perhaps someone you were even disliking at first, or any other situation where you didn't expect connecting with anyone.

I think hearing about an unexpected friendship can be a good reminder to not judge people beforehand and to keep an open mind when it comes to the people we meet. 

 

Have you ever developed an unexpected friendship, and if so, how did it happen and what were the circumstances like?

Are you asking because you have a story like this yourself?

 

This is actually the way I met my girlfriend.

There is an open world pvp game called GTA Online.
I was driving over the map in an armored car, when she suddenly attacked me with a flying car by shooting missles. Since my car was armored, she had to hunt me for a while, very obstinately but she managed to kill me.

Surprisingly a differentrandom player picked me up with his flying car to get me revenge.

 

Usually, players become toxic after a fight, but not this time. We texted each other and it was very funny. So we joined an audio conference, started talking and played some pve together.

 

We became friends, best friends,  girl- and boyfriend and fancee/fiance.
End of story.

I have actually experienced something like an unexpected friendship, that within a few days I have revised my opinion about a person who is now one of my best friends. I was at a punk rock festival with a friend and our tent neighbour was orderly, liked it quiet at night and seemed a bit unruly.
I was annoyed at first, but then we got to talking and today, as I said, she is one of my best friends. Maybe some unexpected friendship carry more weight simply because they exist despite adverse circumstances?

I am still waiting for an unexpected friendship in real life.

I made a friend at the bus station. That was an unexpected location. Usually unexpected friendships for me are the ones where a friendship builds after an initial dislike.

Jack, a much older friend of a friend came to stay with me once and we developed an unexpected friendship. I wasn't sure if we would have much in common due to our age difference, but actually, he totally inspired me with his energy and get up-n-go – he was more youthful than I was at the time! And we were also on a very similar wavelength which was unexpected. I think he was roughly double my age but we are still in touch now.
