I have made many friends. Those who were strangers for me are now my friends.
I have realised making friends is not so difficult. All you need is know what they are interested in and be a little informal.
Once while travelling by train, I saw a man sitting by my side. He looked calm and composed. He brought out a book from his bag and started reading it. I looked at the book over his shoulders. It was a novel. He kept reading for about half an hour and then kept it in his bag.
I asked him what book he was reading. And then we began talking about book and writers. To my surprise he was also interested in novels based on historical events. That was exactly what I have been interested in.
He had a good knowledge about the writers who have written such novels.
We kept talking until the train arrived at the station where he had to slight from the train.
Till then we had become friends. We exchanged our numbers. Since then I have recieved his calls many times.
We are now friends.

@DianneN Thank you, my friend The man looked calm and a gentleman. A person's face and eyes reveal much about them. I was sure he was a good man. That's why I began talking to him

Thank you, my friend. I agree with you. We can make new friends. Meet strangers, talk to them, especially about the things they like to talk about. Soon you will see a rapport being developed between you and then.
