We need to get off our armchairs, log out of our apps, and commit to being humans.
Step One: ban screens wherever your great-great-grandparent would have gone to see friends. Bar? No screens. Cafe? No screens. Dog park? You guessed it . Some pioneering, Luddite institutions have already instituted this rule.
Step Three: set up a “Screen Hour” and tell your friends about it. If your friends know that you only look at your phone from 7 p.m. to 8.p.m. each day, then, assuming they’re nice, they will try to limit their texts to that hour. In the remaining 23 hours of screen-free humanity, your odds of making a friend will skyrocket.
Step Five: use the F word. When you’re looking for a “F”riend, don’t be afraid to say so. It can be a little daunting to admit you’re looking for more friends. As someone who has lived in three states in as many years, I’ve gotten over that fear through repetition. I sure wish I had told that guy at that dog park with the bulldog that I could use a friend — we could have walked our dogs to a coffee spot. That opportunity passed, but I’ve resolved not to miss the next one.
