Today we’re talking about “The Friendship Gap" aka the period between meeting a person and feeling like it’s become a friendship. A study found that the average adult needs to spend 50 hours of time with a person to consider them a casual friend.  If you haven’t crossed The Friendship Gap just yet, don’t give up on this blossoming friendship. There are also ways to lubricate the process and we’re going to take you through them.
