1
Don't find time, make time. Just like maintaining romantic relationships, friendship require reel time as well. Make time to meet up with the girls even for a small chit-chat over coffee. Meanwhile, a bottle or two should be enough to catch up with your long-lost sports bud.
2
Remember birthdays and special occasions. We only celebrate our birthday once a year. Take time greet your friend on his special day. Your thoughtfulness will surely go a long way.
3
Maintain a regular communication with old friends. The world wide web makes it easier to keep in touch with long lost friends from the other side of the world. Whether it's through email or instant messaging, take extra effort to share recent updates about your life.
4
Support them in all their endeavors. If, for instance, it has been his longtime dream to finish law school and be a lawyer, make him feel that you support him all the way by understanding him through all the times that he needed to pass up a coffee invitation.
5
Be true to what you feel. Real friendships are not always a walk in the park. In cases where a misunderstanding arises, always be true to what you feel. After all, true friends understand.
