Even introverts use these tricks to cruise for friends! Last week in Yosemite I chose to camp with six other strangers. One man, Victor, wanted to know if he had to accept my offer of crackers and hummus or be thought of as impolite if he said no. I love the fact that he wanted to follow protocol and so asked exactly what was the correct response in this situation. All of us had weak ties of friendship by the end of the week together, and we had such a good time!

Hiking buddies is definitely a good example of weak tie friendships! That's nice he could be so open about checking in on expectations.
Love your writing and accessible, life-affirming content. 😀❤️
Thanks, Tim! I almost posted a photo of your wedding as a great memory of a good time with new friends!
