How to get your friends back?
如何重拾舊日友情
Send a Handwritten Card
寄張手寫賀卡
A note in the mail can be a welcome surprise for a friend you haven't spoken to in a while. And there's no need to wait until a holiday for an excuse to send it; a "just because" card can restart your relationship anytime.
對許久不聯(lián)系的朋友來說,一封突如其來的信絕對是個驚喜。并非只有假期才能寄卡片,因為一張“問候卡”能立即拉近你們的關(guān)系。
Women are busy and don't want to feel that the friendship comes with too many strings attached.
女人身上的負(fù)擔(dān)很繁重,她們不喜歡壓力太大的友情。
So avoid mentioning the past or specific dates when you're available to meet up. Instead, leave the message open-ended, explaining that you're available for lunch or drinks in the next couple of weeks, she says. And remind her of the best way to contact you.
因此,不要在卡片里跟對方約某月某日某時的具體見面事項,而應(yīng)該婉轉(zhuǎn)地提出自己未來幾周都有空、想約她出來吃頓飯或者喝杯咖啡,并順便附上自己的聯(lián)系方式。這樣更好。
