Have you ever asked yourselves, "What and where would we be without our friends?". From the very initial stages of our lives, we were exposed to the idea of friendships - how to befriend others, what it feels like to have your first bestfriend, and feeling like you can conquer the world with your favorite pal(s).
Friendships are always an interesting ride; they either break... or last! Even for the ones that do last... have their own unexpected setbacks; especially when life naturally separates you from each other and breaks that unbreakable bond you once had. Perhaps you keep reminiscing back to those days of great fun and slumber parties you had with your favorite pals... and wish to bring back those good old days "But, how?" you ask yourself. SweetEscape is here to give you suggestions on how to reconnect with your long-lost pals... and by the end of the artilce, you'll be sure to reach out to that friend you've been missing!
1. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIN - Look Them Up!
If you're a person of the now society, then you should be especially grateful for the convenience that technology has brought upon our lives! At just the tip of your fingers, you can access your gadgets to easily search for that long lost friend of yours. Can't remember their full name? Perhaps try looking through some mutual friends... there's a bit of "detective" in everyone!. Get as much information as you can about this ol' friend of yours, and hopefully you'll be able to find them in a jiffy
2. Wait For Their Birthday, Send Them Your Wishes
If you're concerned about how your friend would react to your sudden re-surface, why not wait until their birthday? Hold your horses, you won't be sending any gifts their way just like that. If anything, their birthday would be a great means to reconnect. How? You can easily send them a message - with a purpose of sending them birthday wishes. If and when they reply, continue building the convo by asking them how they have been, how much you've been reminiscing about the good old days - and when you've built enough momentum... ask them to meet up with you!
3. Get It Over With - Just Call Them!
Not in the mood for all that effort? That's okay! You're probably living a busy life yourself, and with that said - just get it over with and give them a call (if you still have their number... that is). This will save you all that time and energy in finding your friend, and who knows, perhaps you'll be able to catch up a bit over the phone before you decide to meet up for coffee or brunch. This will also help you test the waters, to see whether the chemistry and bond is still there.
4. Not That Bold? - Opt For a Text!
If the direct calling is not your cup of tea, you're lucky because of the option to text instead! Just send them a short note, saying your hellos and how are yous. Ask them how they're doing, you know the drill! Texting is a lot less intimidating for those of you are more on the introverted, shy butterfly side. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with that! Reconnecting with an old friend may not always be as easy as it seems.
5. Sometimes, It Might Take A Few Trials #
If all of those methods don't work, don't give up just yet! Perhaps some of you might not have the updated contact details of the person you're looking for, and that would mean double the effort. But if that friend of yours truly meant a lot to you, and you just can't let go of those great times you've had over the many years (or months...or shorter) of friendship you had with them, then surely a little effort won't hurt, right?
