6 Tips to Reconnect With an Old Friend
4. Take the initiative
With a positive thought, take the initiative to call up and make arrangements to meet if possible. Do not feel bad if he/she is not able to call back. You could also try writing an e-mail as he/she might be caught up with other things. Wait for some time so that he/she can call you back and then you both can decide how, when, and where to meet.
5. Be yourself
Once you both decide to meet, be yourself. You also might have changed over the years. Be what you are now. Do not try and go back to the time when you last met. Talk about old times. Inquire about old friends and their whereabouts. Don’t get too stressed. Avoid dragging any awkward conversation. Enjoy the time that you spend with your friend.
6. Share
You might have cultivated new talents, share them with your friend. Avoid making him/her feel uncomfortable by bragging about your accomplishments. Your conversation should not be mechanical like filling up a questionnaire. Just be casual and do not forget to discuss when to meet next.
