It can't hurt to freshen up your C.O.F with a few new faces.
Your people are great but if Mildred moans about her ex or Courtney says she's fat one more time -- you're going to scream. You might be stuck with most of your buds for life, but spending some time with a few new faces is a healthy way to keep friendships solid.
We know it can be hard to meet new people outside of work or school, but here's a few ways to recruit new members to your crew.
Hand-Me-Down
Friends of other friends are the best kind of people to get invested with -- you've already got someone to vouch for them. Maybe you know everyone in your intimate circle of besties, but you probably don't know your work friend's nearest and dearest.
Party Hardy
Throwing a shindig is not only a good use of your Saturday night, it's a good way to mix it up. It's a lot easier to meet your extended family of friends if you tell folks to bring people. It's also a little off-putting to ask your co-worker "can I be friends with your friends?!" Just get them in the same room and make it happen naturally.
Perk Up
If a friend of yours has a friend she's always saying you would "totally love," step it up and tell her to get the two of you together. It's so much easier to make friends when you already know what traits you have in common!
