You know that awkward moment when you meet a guy who seems super chill, and suddenly you’re plotting how to make him your best friend? Yeah, that was me. Instead of going all-in with a dramatic one-on-one, I started by inviting him to group hangouts—less pressure, more laughs. I’d drop random small talk like, “Why does it always rain when I wear white sneakers?” and ask about his favorite bands, even if I secretly hated his taste. Turns out, sharing embarrassing stories (like my legendary burp at the talent show) worked wonders. We bonded over bad memes and worse coffee. I learned to listen, kept his secrets, and never tried to set him up with anyone (lesson learned). It took time, but we became real friends—no weird vibes, just genuine support. Sometimes, friendship is just a series of awkward moments that turn into inside jokes. 😂🤷♂️ #FriendshipGoals #MakingFriends #RealTalk
