Why should you use email to approach a long lost friend? Lisa Xing has some advice on reconnecting with an old friend.  You were friends since you were four years old. You lived in the same neighbourhood, went to the same schools from kindergarten to high school. You played Barbies together, went to school dances together and maybe even cheated on math tests together. People always referred to you in relation to each other. You were inseparable. Then, something happens. Maybe you just drift apart because of personal differences. Maybe you moved away for university. Maybe there was a fight. Whatever it is, you probably think about them sometimes and realize that you did have good times. If you want to reconnect with them, here are some tips. Establish Communication First things first, establish communication with your friend. If you haven’t spoken to or seen each other in a very long time, then start off with a casual email at the beginning. Ask them how they’re doing and what they’re up to in their life. After this, wait for their response. Don’t Jump Into It It’s important to not get too eager at first. If your friendship dissipated because of a big fight, then the situation will be a little bit fragile and both of you will probably be tentative about re-establishing communication. This is why you should stick with email for a little while. If the friendship faded without a negative reason, feel free to ring him or her up and have a little chat. |
