We just moved into a new apartment and finally finsihed with the house, and I'd like to walk outside and just go up to someone and make friends with them.
All of my friends I've known for all my life...So I don't realy know how to make friends anymore...
Could you tell me how a Mother or a Parent would say? I'm to embarrassed to ask it in RL...

Making friends can be hard. The first step in making any kind of relationship is small talk like:
-weather (I heard we're going to have an early spring, isn't that great?)
-celebrity gossip (have you heard that their are 6 men claming to be the father to Anna Nichole Smith's baby?)
-TV shows (Did you see that guy on American Idol, he was great.)
-Community questions (Do you know where there is a nice park for tennis? Would you like to go sometime?)
Just try to create a conversation where an answer needs to be more than a yes or no. Simple canversations like these create a lot of friendships. When you were a kid it was more like "Wanna play? Okay"
Hope this helps a bit.

You have to go to where people congregate that share the same interests as you do. Start at a laundromat or nearby coffee shop. Church would also be another. If you have children school functions will bring you into contact with other people. YWCA's have classes and group meeting where people congregate. The pool at your apartment complex is another or just go out walking and say hello to people in your area. Eventually you will make friends. It's a slow and methodical thing but you will make new friends again. Once you talk to someone a few times just invite them over for coffee or to play cards. It works.

Do not force your emotions to come artificailly let it flow naturally... Greet them in the morning ... Wake up-early in the morning .. do some excercices (cycling) then you will meet some but do not pretend that you are searching friends... Just be your self... Wish you to have very good friends whom you can trust for ever.. like a trasure hunt.... It's that bad.....

it seems that you have had the luxary of not having to make friends. that is actually too bad for you since making friends is a valuable lesson. i will tell you how. just go up and talk to someone. you have to make the first move, or it will be too late. be nice, and be yourself.

Yeah, just be yourself and see what kind of people like, or dislike you.
