How to get your friends back?

如何重拾舊日友情

Invite Her Along to an Event

邀請朋友一起參加活動

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.

手頭有張演唱會、派對或讀書會多余的票？帶朋友出去參加活動，這會比單獨相約見面要更輕松愉快。

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

這樣能卸下你倆身上的包袱，讓你們徹底放松在團體的氛圍中。

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.

與其面對面談話時，冷不丁突然跳到“當初我為啥疏遠你”之類的不愉快話題，還不如跟大伙一起出去玩，這能讓你們跟別人自由互動，從而減輕尷尬的情緒。
