How do yo make friends?

I will try to join some kind of club like a book club or something that interests me, then it's easier for me to make friends as the people are more likely to have things in common with me. I will then ask for their numbers after some time when we have gotten to know each other.

I would start with introducing myself and getting the name of the person then I would open up an informal conversation. If I feel the person makes a good friend (that is, if our interests coincide) then I would go deeper into the conversation--and ask for his/her social accounts for connection. If time permits, I'd go out with the person 'till great friendship develops.

the question should ,be in my very humble opinion "How to make friends" the word "new" ,in all humility ,appears redundant to me,because if we make friends ,they are all "new", if we maintain friendship ,it is with the "old" or with those who are already friends so to make friends is to make always new freinds And for making friends I would like to refer to the classic work of Dale Carnegie, "How to win friends " the wining of the friends is the core not the making of the friends as on such social forums on the net where we know hardly the truth about each other and where camouflage is the name of the game and flambouyant hype is the methos In personal physical life wining freinds and influencing people is the cardinal principle of the success in ife and happiness It would do a world of tremendous good to read that practical classic again and again one thing is certain,if you are good to others and think good of other s you would make real lasting friendship One has to differentiate between friendship and a mere acqaintence there are different strategies for making friends on the social marketing sites like my lot and twitter and different methods of making friends in real life In dale carnegieis time there was no internet but the pricipls propounded by him are unversal and can be applied to any situation Reading of that classic is ever time pleasure kindly let us discuss this topic whenwe go through that book if you like we can rea the chapterstogather should we ? all the best

Well,I used to make a lot of friends when I was a student and being a student really really helps you out making new friends, as we were 'automatically' gathered together and just react with each other. Once we down to the real world, it is little bit complex yet easy to make friends. Especially when we are in the competitive world, it makes us a little bit harder because everybody wants to win. =) But if we want to make friends, just be ourselves and just be simple and friends will come along.

I honestly have no idea. Please tell me when you find out. It was so much easier making friends when I was back in school, because there were always someone to talk to- people you sit next to in class, study groups, group project, etc. But nowadays as a working adult, I have no idea! I have such a hard time approaching people and starting up conversations without seeming like a total weirdo. If I was to approach guys, they feel as if i'm coming on to them, and if I talk to women, I feel self conscious about being regarded as a lesbian. And my coworkers are all significantly older than me, as in more than 20 years...it's hard!

Well i am very selective at friends and so i dont have many.

i'll go suddenly and ask her/him if she's ok whenever i see her/him upset. eventhough we don't know each other. then i'll talk to them as if i've not talked to someone for ages. after that i'll ask their name then we're friends
