Making new friends is great, but everyone knows the friends you’ve known for forever will always hold a special place in your heart. Cupid has some tips on how to keep that close bond you have with old friends strong:
1. Keep in touch: It sounds obvious, but frequent communication is really one of the most important ways to stay connected to old friends.
