10 Friendship Etiquette You Wished You Knew

Reach Out First and Say Yes When Asked

Take note of who is already in your social circles, either at work, your place of worship, the gym, in your neighborhood or at your children’s activities. Consider acquaintances you would like to know better and invite them to join you on a walk, for coffee or lunch. If someone invites you to a backyard BBQ, a happy hour, a card night or neighborhood party, say yes. Attend even if it’s slightly outside your comfort zone. You just may meet some new people, and at a minimum, you’ll practice making new acquaintances.
