Hello! or a hand shake or a casual introduction is a good start for building friendship. I am more on the aggressive position when it come to meeting friends.

I usually make the first move to start friendship. Because I'm so talkative, I talk to people whom I didn't know and good thing they respond to me and in the long run I gain a lot of friends. During my student years, I am always 1st in the list of most talkative and i guess it's my trait already. Being talkative really helps.. :)

I got to admit I'm the first one to make a move. The first thing I do to start a friendship is to simply smile. This way the person can see that I'm friendly and approachable. After that I simply go say hello and introduce myself. I don't think it's ever been hard for me to make new friends since I like to listen to others and also like to have fun! :)

I don't agressively try to make friends, I think if it's meant to be the friendship will develope naturally.

If the girl likes me I start to talk with her, because in mexico a few girls start the talk

the very best way to create a personal encounter with a person you want to befriend is look directly into the eyes and ask his/her full name...while shaking each others hand firmly coupled with simple smiles.... and say adorable words about her thats it...and if your in a hurry ask immediately for the calling card hahaha saying hello and shake hands wil not give an intense encounter lol!

I am very shy, and because of this making new friends is a little difficult for me. I am not the type of person who can just walk up to someone and start a conversation. Do you think it's just your personality that makes you able to make the first move in starting a new friendship? Do you have any tips for someone shy like me?
