Many studies have shown that having good friendships is beneficial for our health, at every stage of life. But with the hectic pace of life, family obligations and the fact that many people will move a few times in their lives, it can be hard to find and build those lasting friendships. When you’re looking to expand your friend pool or find yourself in a new place and starting over, how can you go about making good friends?
Once you find people who you like and who share your interests, one study says it’s also a matter of time. The number of hours you spend with someone, not at work or at school, are a big factor in how strong the bond will be, one study found. It can start with a minimum of 40 to 60 hours in the first few weeks, but the more time you spend, the greater chance the bonds will be strong.
Read about how to build up lasting friendships from acquaintance to casual friend to good friend below. |
