The more friends you have, the better. Who wouldn’t want more friends? Friends add comfort to our lives. They add excitement, intrigue and a source of knowledge and understanding.
So, how do you add more friends to your list? Be friendly. Be open. Be curious. Look for opportunities and take the lead in starting new friendships. Start up a conversation. Ask questions. Smile and take the time to encourage a friendship to develop. Don’t be afraid to show a weakness or ask for help. That will allow the other person to do the same. Then, build on the friendship. Don’t wait for the other person to make the next move. That person might have a difficult time doing that. Make it easy on them. Show you care and value them. Be the friend you want to be and they want to have.
