How to catch [friendship] print in the wild We all know the art of catching print when someone walks by in grey sweatpants. But there is another kind of visibility we should be clocking: the friendship print. This is the subtle social bulge that signals someone is looking for a connection. You just have to know how to spot it. The biggest sign is the "weekend inquiry." If someone asks what you are up to on a Saturday without mentioning their own plans, they are practically wearing their intentions on their sleeve. They are looking for an invite. Another major signal is the "hobby lean-in." When a new acquaintance shows intense interest in your niche pottery class or Sunday run club, they aren't just curious about the activity. They are showing you a print of wanting to join your circle. However, the signals only work if you turn them on. Collective makes this visibility even clearer. To make sure you are visible to the right people, remember to actually set your intentions to "Friends" or "Chat" when you follow someone. It is the best way for even the shyest members to ensure they are catching the right kind of print.
