Starting over succccckkkks the big one.

Even if you don't like getting coffee or shopping, it's a good way to start building a friendship. As much as we might want to, we can't just drop into a really meaningful friendship - things have to start out slowly as not everyone wants to open right up right away! If someone expresses an interest in grabbing coffee, go for it! It's a great time to chat about things and you can end up in a deeper conversation than you expect. If nothing else, you can talk about other interests and activities and you might find out that they've got things they'd like to do too!

Do you live somewhere that has different clubs or meet ups or classes to take? If so, join something that you're interested in. Then you'll see other people who like the same activity! What about volunteering? Volunteering is always a good way to meet people!
