Making new friends as an adult may not come easy. But, experts say there are ways to make connections in your grown-up years.
They say there are two key ingredients in every friendship…frequent interaction and mutual attraction. One expert recommends going to what she calls “friendship markets”…the places where people are open to making friends. That includes activities with built-in times to interact, like running clubs or art classes.
Keep in mind, asking people for favors can deepen your relationships with them. While opening yourself up and showing some vulnerability usually increases trust. Experts also say don’t wait for a perfect time to call your friends…just call them.
