Lately, I have been chatting with a close friend who shall remain anonymous for no reason at all ;) about making new friends. It's an odd time and life. I am not in school, still at the same old job... and lacking friends and the places to meet friends (to put it nicely haha). When I was younger, I remember seeing people at this stage of their life. I always thought it was quite odd...friends came naturally through school, sports and mutual friends.
Yet, now here I am wondering what the best way to ask new friends or about to be friends on what may be termed a "date"....at least that's sure what it feels like. When did it become so difficult to ask someone to coffee or lunch? It's embarrassing really (haha).
But now I finally understand that with age comes an increased focus and busyness in one's own life and less time for "horseplay". Truth is.. I thoroughly enjoy a life full of random jokes, adventures and close friends. I like knowing that I can call someone and they will be there...ready and willing to hang out.
I feel quite pathetic as I write this. Yet, I truly believe that this is a stage that everyone enters in life. So if you are laughing at me right now, don't laugh too hard... in time it shall pass (fingers crossed!) In the mean time, I shall be getting up the courage to ask random people out for a cup of coffee :) Wish me luck!
