I made a post on Instagram asking women who have a lot of friends (and who generally make friends pretty easily) to share how they make it happen.
Between my Instagram and TikTok responses, more than 700 women responded. I then analyzed the themes that appeared in the comments and highlighted the six most common ones that appeared over and over again.

The "initiate and invite" tip hit me because I'm the opposite and always wait for others, and the follow-up questions part reminded me how easily I drop the ball after a first good hang.

The “initiate and invite” tip is so real—I’ve noticed my closest friendships started with me making the first plan, not waiting for an invite. The part about asking follow-up questions really clicked for me too. I’ve been using a simple habit tracker to remind myself to reach out weekly, and it’s been a game changer. https://vo3-ai.net
The “initiate first” theme is so real—I’ve found that a simple “you seem cool, let’s grab coffee” works way better than waiting for a vibe. I’ve been using a weekly check-in list to keep that follow-up momentum going. https://yeggi.pro
