We spend consistent time together growing the intimacy of our relationship. When we become Community Friends we have crossed the lines of our original relationship boundaries with a gym buddy, a book club partner, or a work colleague. We now share our lives beyond our initial shared common interest. When we enter into Community Friends territory, we have crossed the lines of our original relationship boundaries so that now it feels normal to invite them to a random concert, check in with them about their weekend plans, or see if they are interested in starting a book club with us.
