the best way to make a friend is to know what they like. another thing I've come to learn that if you are mean and extremely opinionated, it could get on the other persons nerves... so to keep a friend there's basically 1 rule, treat them how you would want to be treated. to make the friend id simple. first it helps if you make the first move. start with some light conversation, you know intrests and such and then mabey exchange phone numbers and gradually star hanging out an dhtne let it go from there

You have to be honest and calm to talk to your friend, you are really nice to your friend, I'm sure your friend will understand. Friends should understand each other, that's what friends are for!!!!! If you are good to your friend, I'm sure that you can overcome your fear easily.

Just be yourself. Be honest to yourself and to others. Do not do things that are out of your comfort level in order to make new friends. In other words find people who have the same likes and dislikes as you do. Never compromise yourself. I had to move to a new town when I was a sophomore in highschool. It was very difficult but it would have been easier if I were honest to myself. Be smart!

You know what.. you should not ask people to be friends with you out of kindness or, a species of that, out of pity.  Be yourself, be nice and you will attract friends who are there not because they want to be kind to you but because they enjoy your company.

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask simple friendly questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice.\n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker.\n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n

So you want to make friends now because you feel lonely .... does this about sum it up?\n\nStart slow; call your "best" friend and arrange a lunch.  During lunch tell your friend what you've told all of us and ask for his help in getting you out more socially.\n\nOr, make new friends.  Go to an event where people are put together by common interest - a book club, gardening club, whatever you are interested in.\n\nSince you've spent your life being alone, here's a rule to being a friend that will help - show interest in the other person, the friendship isn't all about you!  Ask questions about their life, most people love to share stories of their lives; after all, they want to share themselves too!

Talk to people. Where ever you are, talk. you will find others that you are comfortable with, and have similar opinions. Be yourself, \n\nExamples: Open a door for someone as they leave the store, comment on the weather, the store, if the other person is open to you, conversation will take hold. If a neighbor two houses down is out in the yard, start talking. Ask if they want help with what ever task they may be doing at the time. Or ask for assistants for yourself - people generally like to be needed.\nThe EASY part is finding friends.\nThe HARD thing is keeping them...\nRemember; Every body likes to talk about their self, talk about others, offer their advise and experiences........Just don't go out of the comfort zone! To know what that is, think of subjects that you would be un-easy talking to a stranger about! ... ... You can take it from here!\n\nSee how easy that was? If we had been talking in person, you would have the start of a new friendship!

It is difficult to "invite" somone to be a friend as if you are inviting them to a party.  To be a friend takes more than an acceptance of an invitation....it is a commitment.  The best way to "invite" somone to be your friend is to BE a friend.  \n\nThe are millions of ways to do this such as regular communication and showing concern, support and intrest in their life and challenges.\n\nGood luck my friend!

You can be friends with whomever you choose to be friends with. If one friend has a problem with another friend of yours, that is THEIR problem to solve. The friend who resents you for being friends with the other friend has to grow up.That is childish and you don't have to get caught up in it if you don't want to...remember, you choose your friends.
