1. Went to the Playground

Behind a local school the other day (school wasn’t in session). I had finished running errands and wanted to go for a romp.

3. I literally threw

This outfit on and walked out, after breakfast. No makeup. Hair not done. No muss. No fuss. Felt a moment’s hesitation making this post. But… then I thought, “Aw, F#*k it! We’re all human!” :-D

3. Had the pleasure of 

Seeing my friend Amanda in an Off Broadway play, by the Rising Sun Performance Company, this Friday night… made some wonderful new friends and got a recommendation for a new dentist (who’s local!) Obviously the night was a success.

4. I Just solidified

My 4 Steps to Making New Friends (Take this with a grain of salt. I’m no sociologist.)

1. Smile

2. If you are in a new location with someone else, you both already have something in common: BEING THERE.

3. Talk about some minor event relating to your current situation (running late/at a bar where some drunk person is being obnoxious/traffic…etc.) And be sure to share your personal feelings regarding said specific thing: “Traffic was insane! I thought I would lose my mind right there on the 405/I95/I80!”…etc. Clever use of hyperbole always helps.

4. Keep smiling. When they share their opinions, ask them questions about it (even if you disagree. You can learn a lot that way.)

Okay, that’s the ridiculously oversimplified (possibly ineloquent) version and can be summarized as small talk. But, if you do this and pretend these new people already like you (they just don’t know it yet,) meeting new people becomes less daunting.

Know what I mean…?

À plus tard,

Lauren
