Okay I'm a Crime Boss known as Don Baumgartner.  And in this case, crime does pay.  I'm known for committing dozens of Crimes, starting and taking part in 'gang wars' and killing and Icing rivals.  I put a little effort into building my criminal empire each day.  I even have a few federal agents 'on the take'.

Before you run to your phone and alert the FBI, I should tell you that all my criminal activity takes place within the confines of a game called Mafia Wars.  It's one of the more popular Zynga apps on Facebook. 

Now you might wonder why I spend the time being all gangster up in Facebook.  There is a method to my madness after all.  Games like Mafia Wars and other Facebook Apps can lead to new friends and new contacts.  These games depend on the number of friends you have who play.  so it is a good way to meet new people.

But the biggest thing is that games of all types throughout history have been a great method of relationship building.  Think about it, how many social events are based around games?  Bridge clubs, Poker nights? They are games.  The Golf Course? A game.  Friday night high school footbal? A game.  The Superbowl, the Olympics? That is right, games.

Don't ever discount games as a waste of time.  We start our first relationships outside of our family unit through games.  Find a game that interests you online there are more than you can count.  Get to know the people who play with you.  You might just be surprised at the relationships that develop.
