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!

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

A good way to make friends is just to listen to his/her problems and get their trust.  It takes approximately ninety days for that person to get to know you as a person thus the friendship.  With that in mind a good way to make friends is being there for that person and if you love or care for the person is giving him/her advice that the person doesn't want to hear.  I hope this helps you out.

How to make friends!\n\nBelieve it or not....... You can make more friends in a shorter time by becoming interested in other people \nrather than trying to get other people interested in you.\n\nSit back and think about it! Why should people be interested in you, unless you are first interested in them?\n\n \n\nMaking Friends\nMaking friends can be difficult, especially these days with so many peer pressures. You're the odd one out if your clothes are different, your hair is the wrong cut or colour, your shoes are bought on a budget and don't display the designer label, you happen to enjoy listening to the wrong kind of music, your folks are not as trendy as they should be, etc....etc...\n\nLet me tell you a secret!\nIf you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends.......... become genuinely interested in other people. Show kindness........ you may be wearing the latest designer label clothes, the hottest brand shoes and the coolest jewelry but if you display sourness and selfishness you'll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.\n\nSmile\nSmile.....smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, happens in a flash but the memory lasts forever, it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought, begged or borrowed, it comes from the heart. If you want other people to like you....... make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely!\n\nArguments\nSome people thrive on arguments, it gives them a sour disposition and creates a depressing atmosphere around them. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. If you are wrong admit it quickly and apologize. If the other person continues in an argumentative manner, excuse yourself and walk away. Don't bite..... as the saying goes.\n\nDoing the wrong thing!\nChoose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take illicit drugs, steal, gamble, fight etc... dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends.... honest, good and upright friends. Stay on the right track and be a respected citizen with a sincere reputation. Remain on the right side of the law! Deep down in your heart you know what is right and good. You know when to say 'no' and you know when its time to walk away.\n\nBe Strong!\nBeing mentally strong is not always easy but let me assure you..... the more you practice it the easier it becomes. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you, talk like you and be with you because you have a personality which is different. People like being different! Think about it.... if you dressed and acted like 10 million other people, are you different? NO........ So be yourself and don't give in to those horrifying peer pressures.\n\nDanger!\nIt is dangerous to follow a crowd. Crowds get lost in even bigger crowds. By being an individual with your own personality you can achieve the very best experiences in your life. You may not ever have many friends but let me tell you that it is better to have one good friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab you in the back at the very first opportunity that arises. You're treading on dangerous ground if you mix with the wrong type of 'friends'.\n\nGood luck

Go talk to people...anyone...mailman, passing stranger on the street, somebody in line at the supermarket. You make friends by just chatting and making pleasant conversation. Also, try to get involved with the community, walk around your neighborhood (you'll get to know the neighbors!) and volunteer. Those opportunities usually work...as well as taking up new hobbies (like quilting groups...or anything that interests you). Hope that helps!

Be patient, don't push (or try to hurry the friend thing)be nice, open yourself to all ages, learn manners and use them, be polite and friendly, volunteer somewhere-get involved, don't take all your friends time-go slow, don't pester, be helpful when you see an opportunity, smile often, don't gossip even if your friend does, don't find fault or be unkind to anyone. \n\nGet involved in something-volunteer at the hospital or animal shelter-this could change many things. Go to games or school functions, be friends with all not just a few.

First you have to show yourself as being friendly!  Approach people with confidence, and a smile.  If this doesn't work forget about it!  I know a friend that will be your friend for life, and will never let you be lonely again.  GOD.
