Which explains why it is easier and oftentimes more successful to meet new friends when you’re with a core group of friends already.”
Which has been my limitation since moving to NYC. I’m not at the tipping point yet, but I’m going to meet some new people on Thursday when I go to hang out with someone I met at the happy hour last week.
