Never trust internet friends, I always say. You never no anyone unless you meet them in person. Try talking to that person in the corner who hasn't said a word since you've seen them, but dont get as so desperate as to bother people on random street corners. And man, we are your friends. You can tell us about anything.

Need to know how to make friends? One word: attitude! Learn how to make friends simply by adjusting a few "downers" in your attitude.
**Steps
*Decide what kind of friends you want and make a plan to make these types of friends. Do you want someone who likes to do the same activities as you? Someone with different skills who can teach you things? Same age or different?
*Try to look on the bright side of things. Smile at everybody, which will show people what a fun person you are.
*Be positive and fill your speech with uplifting words. Never make an insulting joke to get attention. Companions are courteous and complimentary.
*Have confidence and don't slouch when you walk. Try to always have a fun time.
*Make sure you are organized and not sloppy because when you are sloppy, people are not going to like the real you and they will judge you by the way you look and/or the things you have.
*If anybody asks you a question, answer in a friendly and polite way.
*Be sincerely interested in what others have to say. Look them in the eye. Listen carefully. Ask questions. *Empathize. Laugh (with them, not at them). Be good company.
*Look for groups in your area which do something you are interested in--you could learn a new skill and meet like-minded people. The #1 thing on making friends is never do things you do not like to do. This may cause you to lose one friend, but it will also give you a lot of friends for sticking up for the things that you like and the things you don't like.
**Tips
*Mainly, just be yourself. If people don't like you when you're yourself, maybe you shouldn't be around them.
If you're around a new place, try to find people who are not attached to a group and strike up a conversation about anything -- the weather, the environment you're in, clothes, whatever.
*Always try to have fun and enjoy yourself, which will radiate externally!
*Call your friends at least once a week to check on them and see how they're doing. They'll be happy you care. Tell them that you appreciate them.
*Remember important things about them such as things they like and their birthdays.
*If you two ever get in an argument, be the first to apologize. Even if you're not sorry, at least apologize for getting into a fight with them. Then, without interrupting them, allow them to tell you why they got mad at you, and what they think you should do about it.
*Remember, never leave old friends because you like someone else more. This is a mistake.
*Accept everyone for who they are and never bring anyone down or try to change someone (especially if they've done nothing to hurt or offend you). This communicates insecurity.
*Seek out "true" friends. A false friend will destroy rather than build up a relationship.
*Be a "true" friend, faithful through thick and thin, over time and distance, in fair weather and foul. Always love, always hope, always persevere.
*Listen to others. It's better to be quiet than to say too much.
*Never, ever blurt out a friend's secret! Not only would you lose your friend's trust, but the trust of everyone around you. Would you tell a secret to a girl who just the other day blabbed on her best friend? Be as loyal as a puppy to your friends, they'll respect you for it.
*Learn to recognize when a person's not bothered about you or your feelings. If he/she is constantly darting their eyes and always interrupting you, or even - shocker! - walking away from you when you're in mid-sentence, well they're generally telltale ways that prove they just don't care.
*Always trust your gut feelings about people. If you feel someone (as nice as they may seem) is not the right person to make friends with, then move along.

be a joiner. Get into a bowling league, ski club, community association, synagogue, church or mosque. In other words, seek out people with similar interests and backgrounds. Friendships will come of it.
