If you were fortunate enough to have a grandparent, a teacher, or an older
friend who took an interest in you as you were growing up, you probably understand the
power of affirmation very well. That person who sought out the best in you certainly had a
strong effect on your life.
You can have a strong effect on any friend's life by looking for things in them
to praise and then being generous with that praise. However,
one more time, it is easy to spot a false compliment so be sincere or be
quiet.
SOLO for Singles readers offer these suggestions for compliments
for friends:
Look for changes in your friend's appearance--new haircut, new
clothing, or jewelry.
Think back to your last conversation. Was there anything that
could be used as a compliment?
If you can't find another compliment, just tell your friends they
look good--life must be agreeing with them.

The Friendship
Crisis
Finding, Making and Keeping Friends When You’re Not a Kid Anymore by
Marla Paul
Lonely?
Have you found yourself adrift, without the warmth of
a circle of friends, as a result of relocating, the loss of a partner or
other life changes?
Loneliness is a silent epidemic in our world today.
Marla Paul has written for the Chicago Tribune
about
her personal "friendship crises" when she moved to Chicago after
having worked in Dallas for five years. Her experiences struck a common
chord with women all over the country. Gathering wisdom from the many
letters readers sent and interviews with friendship experts, she authored
a book that lays out a roadmap for finding one’s way out of loneliness.
So, would it have been okay for me to call my new pal
one more time? Yes, but not too soon. The primal rule is don’t look
desperate, even if you are very desperate indeed.

| The Friendship Factor How to get
closer to the people you care for by Alan Loy McGinnis Having
friends is very important to singles. We all know single people who have countless
friends. What is their secret?
The author writes that at the heart of each relationship is the friendship
factor and that factor is the essential ingredient of warmth and caring.
The author gives you five ways to deepen all of your relationships, five
guidelines for cultivating intimacy, and two ways to handle negative emotions without
destroying the relationship.
Best of all McGinnis tells you how to forgive and salvage a faltering
friendship or other love relationship.
This small and short (only 191 pages) paperback is quite reasonably priced. It
is an excellent and classic book to buy and keep! Book review continued.
