You feel good potential friendship chemistry with someone, but then what to do next?
This is an episode about pursuing a new friend. (We also get into some texting etiquette.)
- How do you pursue the friendship in a way that lets the other person know you’re interested, but doesn’t scare them off?
- And if you’re someone who already has a full social life, how do you make time for a new friend?
- And why should you make time for a new friend?
- We also discussed some texting etiquette such as when to employ the thumbs up and when to respond with words. Fans of Dear Nina will know I have strong feelings about this!

Thumbs up is offensive to me. I hate the thumb.
But the ok sign is better.
It means I get it. The thumb is crude. It feels dumb. Like a dumbbell.
My feelings. A heart can be repetitive as well.
How about words. This generation needs words. It is really silly and not a way to show up. Words Count.
Because signage is new to some and not caring.
So say it with words.
I’ve never used the ok emoji. Interesting! I definitely do not like “ok” written with no expression. It feels even less friendly than the thumb. Now I don’t mind the thumb. I don’t like the thumb + another text. Just do the text– sans thumb! I agree it’s sad how much our words have lessened. But it might be because we all get too many messages or on the screen too much.
