In the city where I live people are very in approachable, the only exceptions I make to this rule are unless they are drunk, being employed 2 speak 2 u, on drugs, homeless ( cos they want your money).
All I know is nite clubs, pubs, are bad places 2 meet people, unless u are very socially confident.
Plus, uni students are the most unsociable group of society i know of. (UNLESS U ARE A UNI STUDENT).
u get back, what u give out.
So, what am i doing wrong ?? any ideas????

I have the exact same problem, I've always found it really hard to make friends and I had NO social life at uni because of it. However, since then I started going to lots of gigs (I love music) and I now have some of the best friends in the whole world (in my biased opinion). They don't live near me and I still find it hard to make friends with people in my area, but then, I live in a s***hole. Also am making friends on my post-grad course.
So, not suggesting you go to gigs if that's not your thing, but try going to places and events associated with your interests and hopefully you'll meet people who are into the same things as you, and try chatting to people in your tutorial groups or lectures if you're still in uni, it's hard, but keep trying and you'll find someone nice!
If not, mayeb a social networking site like Faceparty or Myspace. People joke about making friends on the internet, but I;ve got to know some really great people through websites.

You are trying to hard!! just relax and be yourself if you think the clubs round your way are crap stop going there are other places to meet people try staying in and not drinking for a month and with the money you save take a week-end break away and chill try and go to as many places as you can .When you meet some decent people find out what their place is like and say you will book in a place and within a little you will have seen a lot of different places and lifestyles and met a lot of people if you visit a place and you dont like it ,you just dont go back,Try it you might find that you find a place that is just you and some people that suit your social wants and you may even decide to move.

I think the trick is to join clubs or groups of people that share an activity that you are interested in. A choir, a rock-climbing group, hill walkers, amateur dramatics, salsa dancing, book club, fencing.....
The UK is great for clubs and groups of this sort. Do an internet search for stuff near you, there is bound to be something.

you need to be more confident and get out and about a bit more often you will meet new people and believe me your not the only person with this situation there are many more if u get the urge to speak to some one as long as its in a nice manner go for it!
