"An old friend is better than two new ones" - says the proverb. However, we are always in a hurry, constant hustle and bustle so we lose old friends. How to keep a friendly relationship, even if you and your Russian girlfriend are busy all the time?

1. Organize big meetings

Oddly enough but sometimes it is easier to meet with a big company than to meet face to face. Similar meetings are planned in advance and are prepared for a long time. The very process of preparation will be a great excuse to keep in touch with friends.

2. Meet regularly

To plan and organize a single event can be difficult. It is much easier to have regular meetings, which have become a part of the daily life. For example, it is possible to walk together in a club with the same interests: a book, tea, cutting and sewing. An excellent opportunity for regular meetings is the sport, and it strengthen the friendship and health.

3. Phone Calls

Nowadays cell phone is a gadget number on. Everybody has it. Phone Call even in another city costs little. But we must understand that your friend has his own busy life, possibly in a different time zone. If he suddenly did not answer the call, it does not mean that he does not care. If such calls are regular, they will significantly increase the chance to talk longer. Get into the habit to call your friends once a week at a certain time, and they will look forward to that call.

4. Write ...

... Letter, we would say before. But now a friendly chat by mail, even e-mail, does not look too comfortable. Send texts or instant messenger message - some short text, just to remind about your friendship. Mobile instant messengers and the ubiquity of the Internet has made the process of text communication like never quick and easy. WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Telegram and many other options people have created to communicate with each other. So communicate with your friends.
