Maybe the easiest way to make friends for life is by inviting everyone in your contacts to your milestone events and seeing who shows up…Sounds like a pretty successful technique if you ask me…or David! So next time you get sent an invite from someone you barely know, or haven't spoken to in years, we advise you get on your scooter, in your car, or your wheelchair (as we said previously, age is irrelevant) and make an appearance. Because you could either look at the unexpected invitation as a mistake, or you could look at it as fate.

Here are the six amazing tips for making friends as an adult:
1.) Pursue new hobbies and interests: Joining clubs or classes is a great way to connect with those who share your passions. Whether it be surfing or knitting.
2.) Utilize existing networks: Reconnect with old colleagues, classmates, or neighbors. You already have a history, so rehashing those memories could allow for further bonding.
3.) Take the initiative: As daunting as it may seem, invite people for coffee, walks, or casual meetups instead of waiting to be invited.
4.) Attend social events: Consistency helps relationships grow naturally over time, and social events are the perfect way to have fun without the pressures of ‘hosting.’
5.) Practice active listening: Showing a genuine interest in others’ lives and experiences might inspire them to do the same.
6.) Volunteer: Working together on meaningful projects can establish natural connections with people who share similar morals.
