How To Meet New People: 50 Platonic Pick-Up Lines For Future BFFs
What a way to make a new friend!
AS photostudio / shutterstock My guy friends often joke that my roommate and I have a fan club. Though, this little support group doesn't have one male member. Instead, it's filled entirely with females — platonic female friends of friends, to be exact.
Listen, being single in New York (or any other major city) is rough. The surplus of disastrous dates, the guys who constantly disappear and reappear, the dudes who just want to hook up... you get to a point where you couldn't care less about the hottie who won't look your way, and you're all, "Bring on some new best friends!"
Though it's certainly possible, you can't always be insta-friends with someone you're meeting for the first time. So how do you lure in a new BFF?
