Make lasting friendships at any age

Making Friends as an Adult For Dummies helps you overcome the challenges of building friendships, forming new bonds, and meeting new people. First, you'll learn what your friendship needs are and decide what kind of friends you'd like to meet. Then you'll get concrete advice for building a new social circle, turning acquaintances into good friends, and letting go of friendships that just aren't working out. Single or married, parent or childfree, many people face these same challenges. This Dummies guide will show you that you aren't alone and will help you discover sustainable ways to overcome loneliness, keep friendships going despite occasional tension, and build your “family of choice.”

Gain the communication skills to resolve conflict in new and existing platonic relationships
Overcome your fear of rejection and learn to politely end friendships that aren't working

Make friends after retirement, relocation, extended isolation—or just because friends are nice to have. Making Friends as an Adult For Dummies is the judgment-free book that makes it easy.
