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!

Keep your chin up, believe in yourself, and make new friends. Think outside of the box and go to new places where you can meet new people. I moved to a new town and knew no one... I found a couple of charities in the phone book and volunteered... I met lots of great and caring people that have become friends. You could also look into attending a church in your area. They usually welcome you in and have lots of activities regardless of your age. Remember that people who claim to be your friends and then ditch you were never really your friends at all... look for a better group of peers.  Good Luck!

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 arguments they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguments. "The only way to get the berst of an argument 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 sincerely.)\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\nI

Just be yourself. Get out there and mingle. Go out with a buddy and have them help you meet new people.

The West End is a good area to meet people. You haven't said the age bracket you are looking for but you could start there. Greenville Avenue is another area where people like to socialize. Good Luck!

Meet someone who has been in the same position as you before and understands, find a place that you like (restaurant, bar, cafe) and frequent it for a while, get into a routine such as exercising, learn about the place you are now at, if you feel like contacting people who are far makes it even harder cut the contact a little, if you find contacting them helps contact them do it more.

If you live near Tempe, go to Mill Ave on the weekends.  There's a bunch of shops and bars and plenty of young people walking around.  I used to go to ariz. state U and that' where everyone hangs out when there new.  You'll easily be able to make some new friends if your just a little outgoing.

Find the things you enjoy either separately or together and join some clubs - a bowling league, poker night, ballroom dancing, gourmet cooking classes - whatever you like. When you join these activities you will keep yourself occupied even if you don't make new friends, but meeting people that enjoy the same things as you do will no doubt end up in new friendships. :)

As I posted earlier:\n\nEasiest way to get friends is to become interested in other people. Look around for people with similar interests. Ask them questions about what they think about those interests. Get to know them through common interests, and you're on your way to making friends.\n\nBe their friend more than trying to make them your friend.

I am basically your male counterpart...so, I will tell you where you would find us.\n\nI am sickened by the thought of the bar thing too...so meet people and just do things..let it develop organically!\n\nWhat things do you like to do?  I mean the things you do that get you around other people.  Do them and be open, approachable.\n\nIf nothing comes up, then take a class...go to talks, events that you enjoy...(I met a woman "like you" a 7 years ago taking Aikido.)\n\nDO THE THINGS YOU LIKE..someone like you will be out there doing them too!\n\nIf you liked literature, we would meet at a reading from Edith Wharton...we might discuss the richness of the simple gestures she writes about...and there you are.\n\nI have always met people everywhere I have lived.\n\nI must confess, where I am living right now (a temporary situation in a small town), I have not succeeded in meeting anyone that I would be interested in spending time with.  \n\nHowever, I have not been out much around here...there is not much other than outdoors stuff that interests me here.  \n\nWhenever I travel I meet the most spectacular people...that drives me mad!\n\nI will be moving soon...so maybe when I get to a real town!\n\nDon't be afraid.
