ok so some friends of my family know a girl my age and she just moved to my town and she doesn't know anyone but she'd like a friend so my mother volunteered me to be her rent-a-friend i guess or just friend.lol. anyway im getting her email address and i'm going to write her and sort of say hey welcome to "(my town)" but i don't think she knows that our family friend called us asking me to be her friend so i don't want to be like, hey so and so said you're lonely and now we're gonna be friend's ok?...yeah i have a feeling that would be an akward conversation so...what should i say to her? i know absolutely nothing about her except why she moved her and that she's here and doesn't have friends, oh i do know her name.lol but nothing else, what do i do?
Jeanne answered Thursday June 28 2007, 12:22 pm: Just start by saying something like: "Hi, my name is _____. My friend told me that you just moved here, so I just wanted to say Hi and welcome to (your town)." And then ask her some questions, like where did she move from? What did she do in her old town? Does she do any sports, dance, etc? And just take it from there, like you would with anyone you've just met. [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]
