Honestly making new friends in my late 20s early 30s has in some ways been indistinguishable from dating except the courtship period is not romantic or sexual. I think people need to revisit the art of flirting in a friend wayâŚlike presenting your best self to a person and genuinely glowing when they return the gesture. And letting people influence and change you and getting excited when you have a chance to talk to them. Thatâs what makes getting to know someone fun in the first placeâŚeveryone in those advice threads about how to befriend people is basically describing how to have Coworkers not friends. âGo to a bar and hang out and start a conversationâ you can do this but you have to follow up the first encounter with putting your best foot forward instead of just listlessly hoping for the social approval of the other party!!!!
