Be the first to get in touch
To do this, you must make yourself available. You can send a message via phone, email, or simply give them a quick call. It is important that you remain respectful during this first step.
Taking the first step and showing that you’re open to reconnecting will make them realize that you truly want to rekindle your friendship.
Don’t worry about how much time has passed
If you miss him/her, it’s very likely that he/she misses you too. Friendships, except in special cases, are for life.
We have to realize that everyone has had to attend to their own affairs, but that doesn’t mean we don’t miss you. In fact, you’ll probably make their day.
Persistence
If they don’t respond or their response isn’t entirely clear, don’t worry—just try again. However, it’s important not to pressure them.
As we’ve said, be available and let him or her reach out to you as well. Friendships are built slowly over time.
First meeting: Brief and satisfactory
This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the reunion. Seeing you again, after all this time, is an unparalleled experience. You’ll have so much to share and so many topics to discuss.
However, in this step, keep in mind that if there is something you need to apologize for, do so. You must be honest and rebuild trust.
Listen to them actively and respect them. Ask them about achievements they are proud of, such as their children, their family, personal goals they have achieved, etc.
But above all, remind him of the pleasant moments you’ve shared together. This will help him value your friendship as much as he did before.
Make plans together
Ask them what days they have free and suggest activities to do together. Be specific. But above all, if they’re the one inviting you: Go for it. If you pull it off, you’ll have taken a big step. You can do it.
And if you’re not quite sure what plans to suggest, at Cardenal Mendoza we suggest you treat yourselves to some time together and enjoy one of our brandies however you like best: neat, on the rocks, with coffee, or if you want to sweeten the moment, try it with dark chocolate.
A true experience.
So don’t hesitate any longer—just go for it. You’ve waited long enough; it’s time to take control of the situation and reconnect with those friends who mean so much to you.
You deserve it.
