How to make friends in Nairobi
Making friends gets harder after school and university. Schedules fill up, people move or settle down, and plans get cancelled. It’s not that people don’t want to meet up; it’s that nobody makes it easy.
These are simple habits that help, and how Plans? fits in.
Do the same thing more than once
Friendships grow from seeing the same faces regularly. Pick one activity you enjoy and go back to it: the same weekly walk, run or class.
Say yes to small groups
Big events are fun, but small groups are where you actually talk. Plans on Plans? have 12 people at most, so you’ll know everyone’s name by the end.
Be the one who makes the plan
Most people are waiting for someone else to suggest something. Pick a time and a place, put the plan up, and let others join you. It’s how most groups start.
Follow up
If you got on with people, plan the next one. After a plan, “Plan again” sets up another one for the same thing, and the plan chat is there to agree a date.
Keep it safe and comfortable
Meet somewhere public, especially the first time, and trust your instincts.
