Make a New Friend

“I had my eye on a dress that was in the area she was looking in. When she vacated and I approached to look for it, I couldn’t find it. I went up to her and asked if she had seen it. She had it in her cart, and I was a little embarrassed. She offered it to me and we started chatting while walking around the shop. As we were leaving we made plans to hang out and go thrifting together another time. She still has the dress, and we’re great friends. We often reminisce about that day and how lucky we are!”

“I never expected it to work, but I found my best friend through it. The first time we met up, we went for a long dog walk together and just clicked. Now I see her all the time, and we’re going on holiday together in a few weeks. I feel really lucky to have met her, especially since BFF is quite hit and miss, just like a dating app—you end up messaging people for a while but nothing ever comes of it, or if you do eventually meet in person, it doesn’t always translate to a friendship.”
