Cupid’s Advice:

Being a good friend means being there through thick and thin. Whatever they are going through, you are by their side, holding their hand. When it comes to their search for true love, here are a few ways to show your support:

1. Know how to listen: The most important thing you can do to help a friend is to simply listen. When your pals are upset or struggling with something, odds are, they just need to get it out of their system. Allowing them to talk through it can help their situation more than anything else.

2. Empathize with them: While you may not be experiencing the exact same thing, you can probably relate. Share your stories with your friend and let them know they’re not alone. This way, they’ll feel more comfortable and hopefully feel better faster. When you share your experiences with them, it may also help them to come to another solution they may not have thought of before.
