All inside my new 6-week roadmap where I walk you through the entire friend dating process so you can finally break this cycle and start finding friendships that last and feel like home. & Comment OUTFIT for outfit links from @shopbop  As for the 3 things you can do now to make new friends & stop feeling lonely: -Stop looking for your best friend and look for who is the most approachable person that you see most often. -Then ask them out with a time bound invite.  Instead of “Let’s hang out sometime,” try: “Want to go for a walk tomorrow morning or this weekend with me?”  -And on the friend date, use the 50/50 rule: For every 5 minutes, notice, are you doing all the asking, or all the talking? Adjust so it’s balanced relationship from the start.
