New Friend card questions
When should I send a message to a new friend?
It's ideal to send a message soon after meeting someone new, within a day or two. This keeps the connection fresh and shows your interest in developing the friendship.
What should I write if I'm stuck or it's awkward?
Keep it simple and genuine. Mention something you enjoyed about your interaction or a shared interest. If you can't think of anything specific, a kind word about looking forward to future chats often works well.
How long or formal should the message be?
The message can be short and doesn't need to be overly formal. A few sentences expressing your enjoyment of their company and interest in getting to know them better are sufficient.
