[ Don't mind him, he's bored and wants to make outlandish plans and wax philosophical. ]
You can't find a few close friends through meeting a few people. In fact, even if you interacted with hundreds, the chance of forming a connection is marginal.
Even if you can form a connection, the chances of it lasting for more than a few weeks is marginal, and the chances of maintaining it rapidly declines the more time you add to it. There's too many factors working against people. They're drawn to each other and forge bonds and show kindness, but they'll always forget the past, and they'll hurt and betray each other.
The more people you meet, the better your chances of finding something that's both genuine and lasting.
You raise a good point. You'd forget people's names as soon as the conversation ended... Would that make it a good way of judging who left an impression?
