Friendship Can Begin with a Simple Invitation

The Town Sage Says...

Making a new friend can feel awkward at any age. A small invitation gives a connection somewhere to begin. It can be as ordinary as asking a neighbor to sit outside for a few minutes or meet for coffee.

Offer a specific day and a manageable plan. Make it easy for the other person to decline or suggest another time. If the first invitation does not work, it need not become a verdict on you. People have busy schedules and private worries. Keep the invitation warm, simple, and free of pressure.

Try this: Invite one person to something you would enjoy even if the visit is brief.
