Six Ways to Make a Friend

Where and how do adults make friends?

• SIGN UP FOR a group travel adventure: People tend to bond more easily when out of their comfort zone. The experience will provide an instant group of people with whom you share a unique memory.


• TAKE A CLASS in something you love; enthusiasm is contagious.


• GET A DOG and show up every morning at your local dog park. People love to chat about their pooches.


• TRACK DOWN OLD high school or college pals who live in your area, and see if old friendships can be resumed.


• TAKE A FRESH LOOK at your neighbors, coworkers, classmates, fellow gym bunnies-the people you meet and greet on a regular basis. If you've been standoffish, say hello. If you've traded hellos for months, engage them in conversation.


• SMILE
