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

You can try online dating, just be patient.  I would suggest you try pre-dating (predating.com) or 8 minute dating (8minutedates.com).  That's always a fun way to meet people.  \n\nThere are always single groups on meetup.com that you can join as well. Good Luck

1. Join a gym\n2. Join a book club and invite someone out for drinks/coffee after the club\n3.  Join an athletic club, like a community softball/soccer league - again, ask someone out for pizza/beer after a game\n4.  Go to a jazz club and pretend in your mind that are meeting someone. That way you'll feel like someone you know is really coming but you can still start up conversation with someone you meet there.  \n5.  Take a class (anything that interests you, photography, science, etc) at a local college or community college. That way, you can meet folks who have similar interests as you.\n6.  Go on a singles cruise\n7. Do speed-dating\n8. Ask co-workers out for drinks after work or just to lunch\n9.  Find activity pals on yahoo.com or other websites and go meet them.\n10.  Just say "hello" - you'd be shocked at the response you get!

ok , i would honestly say that it isnt easy. the secret to meeting someone is do someting you love. like v-ball, join clubs. you can meet people at work. during play. if you look at the experiences as dating then your going to go through hell. the best way is to relax, treat every person you meet like they are a long lost friend. care about meeting but at the same time dont put to much on the line. if your antisocial then check out lava life. or on line clubs. i dont like the on line thing because you never know who they really are. if you meet them in person you can have common ground and be in full control at all times.

Well think about where you are meeting these people and don't go there. There are plenty of places to meet decent people (church, library, school, supermarket, volunteer groups). Try out some of these and you will meet a better caliber of people.
