Making New Friends:
HELLO!
An ever-lasting friendship can start with one simple word. Hello. Hello could begin a conversation that can lead to forever friends. No matter who it is , that boy from art class, the shy, sweet girl across the street, just say Hello! You never know what it will lead to.
Inviting and Getting to Know Each Other
Now that you’ve said Hello, why not invite your new friend over to do something together? This is an opportunity to get to know this person. Find out if this is a smart and nice person. There is a saying; “Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.” So you need to make sure this new friend will not be a bad influence on you. Back to inviting. Make sure this person has the day free. That way you can spend more time together. Make sure you and your new friend agree on what to do. Arguing can lead to a broken friendship before you guys have had a chance to go out together.
Here are some good plans for the pals you already know well.
Pal-Perfect Plans for Spending Time Together:
•Borrow the library book you’ve both been dying to read and take turns reading it to each other.
•Baby-sit as a team.
•Visit a new exhibit at the art museum together.
•Learn a sport together.
•Plan a biking picnic trip together. Eat at stops along the way and save dessert for your final destination.
•Surprise your pal by turning Friday night into a film festival. Stock up on licorice and popcorn. Make sure some of these films are your friend’s personal favorites, get a new flick or two, get a few you like, and of course, ones you both enjoy.
• Browse a flea market and surprise each other with a cheap treat or two.
