So a few months ago, I moved to a new city. I barely knew anyone in this foreign place and, of those few who I did know, I definitely wasn’t close enough to any of them to reach out to grab a drink or something. So the only real option was to download Tinder and settle into a quiet routine.
Fast forward to just a couple weeks ago, I was watching TV and swiping away and I came across a familiar face. She was some friend of a friend of a friend I recognized from college but never really ever talked to. Let’s call her Sarah. We weren’t even facebook friends, so bypassing Tinder, I sent her a friend request and reached out on facebook. As luck would have it, she had also recently moved to the area and was in the same boat me, eager to have a friend! We agreed to meet up for a drink after work one day and quickly became friends!
