如何重拾旧日友情

Invite Her Along to an Event

邀请朋友一起参加活动


Have an extra ticket to a concert, party or book reading? Bringing your friend to a gathering can be more casual-and less intimidating-than meeting one on one.

手头有张演唱会、派对或读书会多余的票?带朋友出去参加活动,这会比单独相约见面要更轻松愉快。

This takes the pressure off and lets both of you relax in a group environment.

这样能卸下你俩身上的包袱,让你们彻底放松在团体的氛围中。

Rather than jumping into a serious discussion of why you drifted apart, you'll be socializing with other people or enjoying some entertainment, which can make your reunion less awkward.

与其面对面谈话时,冷不丁突然跳到“当初我为啥疏远你”之类的不愉快话题,还不如跟大伙一起出去玩,这能让你们跟别人自由互动,从而减轻尴尬的情绪。
