I have joined Facebook for several months, but to my disappointed, I haven't made any friends there. It seems no one there want to chat.Then how can I make friends there?

Facebook is a social networking site, whose original aim was to keep in touch with our friends and others over long distances.. Anyways.. You should fist try adding the friends you know, and which exist on facebook.. Then go ahead and use the Friend Suggestion option of the facebook to add more people.. If you're still not satisfied, then start adding people randomly, and try to talk to them.. One way to add people randomly is by playing games on facebook.. You'll add many people if you follow the above technique.. Do add me as well if you want.. :) :) Have a nice time..

Hello uautkarsh, if so many friend requests are rejected by the users then facebook may send a warning message to us . Some of my friends have got them .

Yes.. Obviously one will get warnings.. Because there are many bots on the internet which make fake account and send mass messages and mass friends requests.. So as a counter measure facebook does this.. But if you maintain your profile properly then i guess only few people will reject your friend request.. :)

Hi Arielquiao, I don't think it's actually used to make friends there, but I have some friends on there from places on the Net that I used to be (forums) and from other kinds of groups in real life, etc. I am not sure if they have a group that you can have people add you to make friends, perhaps they do. I was in one group while I was playing their games to add neighbors and made a few new friends there too, even after I'm not playing the games anymore some of them stayed.

I rarely use Facebook chat. I actually open up Yahoo or MSN messenger to chat with my friends. Sometimes, I use Skype, because of the better video capabilities. Facebook chat is the last option, especially if the friend has no Yahoo, MSN, or Skype available on their PC.

Well, I used facebook to stay connected with my classmates and all. I don't really make new friends there. Regarding the chat function in facebook (if that's the one you're talking about), the only time I'm using it is when my friends couldn't find me on MSN and vice versa. Hehe. If you want to make friends on facebook, you might want to join the interest group pages and see if you could find anyone with similar interest as you! Well, I think if you make the first move by saying 'Hi', I don't think anyone would not want to chat with you. =) Good luck with that!

Hello Arielqiao, I am facebook user for more than 3 years. I usually do not chat in facebook. If I am too busy I will just open it in the offline mode. I have some friends who loves to chat with their friends every time. May be they will really enjoy it .

Go in to some group that are of your interest then you will have to post different topics discussions and there will be responses so you can easily make new friends over there its so simple

I joined facebook only to take advantage of offers and contests by companies. I have not tried to make any friends there. In fact I often go a long time without even checking my page.

I don't tend to use social networking websites to make new friends, I use it more to keep in touch with current friends and maybe friends who I'd had in the past and hadn't spoken to for a good while. I wouldn't even try to speak to people who I had never met because of the danger that you don't know who they are, or what they might do if they got hold of any of your personal information. I just wouldn't really want to be the one to take that kind of risk, so I choose not to. Obviously it is up to you if you choose to do so though.

First of all you must add friends, then you can chat. Look for some names in the search function. These must be people you already know and you know their profile name. Else you can add friends from the friends list of people you have already added. Just try to add your friend's friends. Send friends request to some of them.

Well, I when I joined, I did it mainly because I was a person in the minority, not to be enrolled in the social networking world number 1. After I registered, I tried to see if there was any old friend, and, in fact I find people with which no longer acted since high school. Still others, have become almost unknown because I had lost contact them for more than twenty years! I think you might start looking for your friends, surely someone will find. If then, just none of them are, the wider your friendship maybe subscribing to a "group" of people with whom they share their ideas.

Do not worry about that. Try not to focus for using face book as a website to chat with strangers. It is not meant for the same. Collect people you know send them requests and be in contact with them, that is what face book is meant for. You can send requests to unknown persons but at your own risk, if you are found doing that you account may get banned for a day or two.

Uhm, I don't think a lot of people will just accept Facebook friend requests from someone they don't really know, although I have heard a few people who do just that. Anyway...why not start adding the people you know in real life in your Facebook friends list? Considering that almost everyone's in on it, I'm sure you'll find more than a couple.

Your supposed to add people you know. Most people dont want to talk to strangers in their spare time. Add your real life friends and family and then talk to them. I personally dont talk on the chat but when i do its only to someone i know. Good luck

In most cases friend on facebook are real life friends whom you actually know. So if you know some real life friends email you can send them request by searching them in search box.
