Tips on how to be a better friend.

By Staff


Be open to listen without judgment and show compassion.

Be genuinely interested in your friend’s every day life.

Big stuff is easy, it’s the little accomplishments, and small details that sometimes go unnoticed, but at the same time the small stuff is equally important to share and celebrate.

Remembering your friend’s birthday is an absolute must. Even if you can’t send a gift, or forgot to send a card, a phone call on that day shows you care.

Writing a nice card to your friend from time to time, “just because” is a great way of showing them you are always thinking of them.

Make your friend a mixed CD of all the songs that define your friendship or simply the one you both like.

Make a scrap book of all the memories that you share.

Throw a sleepover party. Rent movies, buy popcorn, chocolates and all other prohibited foods that we shouldn’t have, and just have a blast.

Plan one day to spend with your friend to catch up.

    • A cute and simple frame with a picture of you and your girlfriend, is easy and will allow your friend to look at you everyday!

      Why not make one for yourself too?

    • During the week, take your friend out for a movie, or even dinner and a drink.

      Who says that Tues/Wed. night is automatically a night you can’t go out and have fun?

    • Why not cook dinner for your friend (with all the fixens)on a weeknight so that she can have a stress-free evening?

      Send your friend a dozen roses, and explain what each rose symbilizes of your friendship.

    • I just had a thought, often I say I don’t have any friends but the truth is I have lots of friends. The problem happens when I try to make friends out of the people who really don’t like me and obviously they don’t deserve my friendship so I’m going to stop focusing on those people.

    • In today’s hectic world, it’s hard to maintain friendships.....I am sorrily behind in keeping up with all my WONDERFUL friends on this site alone. This doesn’t mean we have abandoned those friends, just that patience is a virtue and time does not diminish friendship. There is plenty of time left in this universe.....

    • Wow 47ntiredorunnin I thought I was the only 1 who felt like that. I have lots of friends but always limit myself to a few who are undeserving of my time let alone my friendship! I just didn’t want to be judgemental but as I proceed up the 40+ ladder, I find myself making better choices!
