Watch Some Drunk Shakespeare, Listen to Toto Cover Weezer, Cosplay at AnimeFest, Shop For Lady Snearkers, or Peep a New Local Comedy.
A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from being someone’s acquaintance to a casual friend, 90 hours to go from casual friends to ‘real’ friends and 200 hours to become close friends.
Seems like a lot of time to put in, but it’s that whole eating an elephant theory. Just gotta take it one bite at a time.
So, if you find yourself in the market for some new friends, start inviting some of those casual acquaintances out this week. Little by little it’ll happen.
Here are some things you can do with your new pals-to-be.
