That said, it’s always helpful to put a date on the calendar when you’re going to see each other next, and have something to look forward to.

Remember that you’re both different individuals, with each person having their own individual life filled with hobbies and passions. That is natural!

Go to a new restaurant for lunch or dinner. You can talk about the different foods, the decor, the scenery, etc. Go shopping together; go into town and make a day out of it. Try on everything and have your friend give their opinion. Go see a movie together. Or even a cafe just for coffee if you are short on money or don’t have a lot of time. Even visit places like local museums, tourist attractions, the zoo, sea life, etc. This may be costly, but whatever interests you share, go to a place that is related. If you are both sporty, then go to a football game or a hockey game. Also going to the gym together or walking/running outside is a great way to spend time with your friend. Even just going out to a café to get ice cream or milkshakes is fun and gives you both something to do that isn’t too expensive. Even just visiting each other’s house or driving around having no destination can be really fun and doesn’t cost (except for petrol/gas).

If you don’t have anything to talk about, then discuss recent news events; Or, how your new college course is going; Or, how you recently started a new TV programme that you would recommend.

They may feel that they have a new life now and there isn’t enough room for everyone. Or they don’t want to lose you so they are doing it slowly over time.

Spending time at the beach together in Spain or Turkey. Go to big cities like New York or Paris. Or even just camping 45 minutes up north together (or south).
