The best way to make friends is to find things that you have

in common. These "mutual interests" are what can make friendships even stronger. It may be easy to find things in common, but you may find yourself struggling to expand on them. So here are some examples:


>Really? I’m a musician too! What made you decide to start playing the guitar?

> I love dogs! In fact, I have two. What type of dog do you have?

>Basketball is my favorite sport! Which team do you root for?

>You’re kidding! I love rock climbing as well. What type of shoes do you use?

Give them a try the next time you're discussing hobbies.
