How To Start A Friendship With Complete Strangers

Tuning your acquaintance into a friend is a challenge if you don't plan it well.

  1. After saying hello, bring up any subject , which you could follow up with another question.(Ex: nearby restaurant, directions , food to buy, etc)
  2. Ask for recommendations
  3. .Contact for further information
  4. After you have been there(say, to the restaurant) call to say thank you for the excellent advice.

The secret is making the follow up contacts. They promote you from a stranger to acquaintance. You are now in a better position to make him or her a friend.
