Maybe the easiest way to make friends for life is by inviting everyone in your contacts to your milestone events and seeing who shows up…Sounds like a pretty successful technique if you ask me…or David! So next time you get sent an invite from someone you barely know, or haven't spoken to in years, we advise you get on your scooter, in your car, or your wheelchair (as we said previously, age is irrelevant) and make an appearance. Because you could either look at the unexpected invitation as a mistake, or you could look at it as fate.

Here are the six amazing tips for making friends as an adult:
1.) Pursue new hobbies and interests: Joining clubs or classes is a great way to connect with those who share your passions. Whether it be surfing or knitting.
2.) Utilize existing networks: Reconnect with old colleagues, classmates, or neighbors. You already have a history, so rehashing those memories could allow for further bonding.
3.) Take the initiative: As daunting as it may seem, invite people for coffee, walks, or casual meetups instead of waiting to be invited.
4.) Attend social events: Consistency helps relationships grow naturally over time, and social events are the perfect way to have fun without the pressures of ‘hosting.’
5.) Practice active listening: Showing a genuine interest in others’ lives and experiences might inspire them to do the same.
6.) Volunteer: Working together on meaningful projects can establish natural connections with people who share similar morals.

Man mistakenly invites 58-year-old coworker, David, to his paintball bachelor's party, instead of his college roommate, they instantly connect, resulting in his once-quiet coworker earning a 'groomsman' title: 'I’m sending the wedding invite on purpose'
Friendships often start in the most unexpected ways, that's what makes them so beautiful.
One of the elements I love most about life is that whenever you think it's becoming predictable, something unique changes the course of your path. Whether it be discovering a new place or meeting a new person. My parents have always told me, "You have your whole life ahead of you, you still have so much to experience." But I truly believe that this doesn't have to be something limited by age. Whether you're twenty-five or eighty-five, there are always still more places to see and more people to meet. And if you don't believe me, let these two be the blueprint…
While organizing a paintball trip for his bachelor party, a man accidentally added the wrong 'David' to the group text: David from Accounting, a quiet 58-year-old coworker he barely knew, instead of his old college roommate. On the day of the trip, a minivan arrived at the venue and out steps David, decked out in full tactical gear with a high-end paintball marker and a cooler full of premium steaks…Fast forward to the wedding, and this groom has landed himself a new groomsman…Funny how life works out, isn't it?
