I've been with my group for the past 8 years and there would definitely come a time when we felt bored that we've talked and have done everything we could think of. The good thing was there were no dull moments. We've created a great connection and I wanted to keep that bond and make it grow. So here are some tips and ideas that I would like to share with you:
1: A Group Name
It may sound cheesy or cheap to you but this is a simple action that bonds you into one. It gives the feeling of belongingness and togetherness. Come up with a name that would reflect everyone and represent the group as a whole. Choose an appropriate name and be proud that you're a member of. As the years pass, even though you're far away from each other it is something that will bring you together.
2: Favorite Hang Out Place
This usually comes in time. Whenever you see each other you'll just realize that you have this favorite place to hang out to. It may be at the park, in the mall, a restaurant, or even inside the library. We all have our own preferences but when it comes to group bonding we think as one. It is commonly in these places where the most sentimental memories are formed.
3: Communication
This is basic. Stay in touch with your friends whenever possible. Even though you're too busy find time to send a text message or ring them. Social Networking sites such as Facebook make this easier to keep in touch and updated. Making an effort makes your friends feel important. And believe by me just investing a minute of your time contributes to keeping the bond tighter.
4: New Activities
There will always come a time where our day feels bored and uninteresting. We don't want to keep on doing the same things over and over again every time we have a get together with our group. If you have the time, find and suggest new activities that you and the rest of the gang can do and enjoy. You can explore new vacation spots or try planking or the lying down game. Whichever you choose make sure that everyone is cool about it.
5: Being True
Being a friend you have to share your own thoughts and ideas with them too. What you want to tell them may not be in their favor all the time but the point is you have to take both sides. Harmony and trust is gained by how you deliver your words and how they take it. Either way it should benefit everyone. Having the guts to tell your friends what you think straight to their face is so much better than pretending everything is alright even though it is not. It may cause conflicts, misunderstandings and worse break ups.
There are many more factors and ways to keep the friendship and make it strong. The important thing is you treat each other with respect and treasure every moment you have with your pals.
