Online. If you want to meet people just for the sake of friendships - meeting people online is perhaps the best bet. For instance, on Yahoo! Answers or in any of the Yahoo! Chatrooms that Dr. Checko suggested. You can always meet new people in online forums, and since Answers works the same way like a forum - you can also meet new people here! Isn't that great!?\n\nGet a 360° account and start connecting with people you like. Eventually, you'll have a bunch of friends you can communicate with. I did that and now I'm building a friend list on my 360° account.

pick people who sound normal and similar to you and have their yahoo chat ID available.  Also search through public 360 blogs and send messages to people who sound like they might be fun to become friends with. If they turn out to be wierdos you can always block them!  I have made some great friends, some of whom I have met so good luck and enjoy...one can never have too many friends!

I don't think I have ever "chosen" a friend.  Making a friend is kind of like acquiring a habit, it sneaks up on me.  I meet someone, if we click, then it grows, then the next thing you know you miss them when they aren't around.  I have had friends who were somewhat like me, and I have had friends who were so different that eventually we got on each others nerves.

go to social events, simple as that.  everyone's looking for friends, just don't overdo it.  Aint nothing worse than someone who tries too hard

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

To make friends, you must be aggresively friendly, invest time and energy in the people you want to be friends with...no one is waiting on anyone to be a friend to. Friends are made, not mysteriously won. good luck.

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!

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

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!

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
