Where there's a pattern there's a strategy. This is surely not the last word on the subject, and it's not meant as a how-to guide, but it's a thoughtful and well presented set of observations which people can use - if they wish - to increase their success rate at making friends. That seems like it's a good thing, worth a couple of minutes to think about.
- gretch 4y agoBased on the principles in the article and some of my anecdotal life experiences: Take some adult classes or lessons. It can be anything, as long as you are genuinely interested in it. You don't have to be "passionate" (no one goes from zero-to-passion instantly). Drawing. Cooking. Tennis. Yoga. Video editing. Chances are you can meet someone in the class that you vibe with and the routine of working together to make the best of the lesson is a good way to make a friend. If you get along well, try to convert to a friendship outside of the classroom by inviting them to get a smoothie afterward.
