Answer 1

when you go out in social situations try not to go with your boyfriend every now and then, because people may be intimidated, and you also won't feel as eager to make friends if you have your boyfriend as a safety net.

why don't you do a TAFE course or something? learn how to speak french or italian - you'll meet people with similar interests and you might even became good friends end up going on a contiki tour together to france or something!

thrust yourself in situations where you have no choice but to make friends.

good luck :)

Answer 2

I used to think the same thing. A year ago my social life was so dull. Do you live in or near a major city?

Try www.meetin.org. I have had so much fun since I joined and met so many cool people. It's really simple. You sign up, fill out a simple profile, and there is a list of events. RSVP and attend whatever you want. Meet cool people who are just as interested as you in making new friends. After you have gone to a few events you can post your own. There's happy hours, coffee hours, dinner, dancing, movies, concerts, outdoor, active events and plenty of cool things I can't even list. People volunteer, go to museums. A few of the cities have girls days events too. Plus all the people are really friendly. If you have thought you were too shy in social situations before, this is the thing for you. Lots of people have been able to open up and have fun. A lot of these people used to be shy too.

I now always have something fun to do. And I could easily say I have made over 100 friends and a dozen or so close friends.

Answer 3

Try doing some volunteering in singles for charities or other organizations.

Join a theater local company and make friends, or else, a gym. Do Karaoke with others. Join a church/synagogue group.

If you find yourself disconnected and fearful,. you might have social phobia. Have it checked out.

Answer 4

I was going to suggest a church too, but the gentleman before me beat me to it.

Ask people about themselves. Most of them like to talk about themselves. Nothing personal ("So, John, did you ever lie to a woman to get into her pants?") General stuff;
("So tell me, what do you do for fun?" . . .
That sounds interesting. What drew you to it?
What's the most [dangerous / exciting / beautiful / perfect] day you have had while doing it?

Or you can ask if they've seen a good movie recently.

Answer 5

Personally if u are too shy join some clubs or teams in school ...u will automatically make friends..or join some MULTIPLAYER sites like
ORKUT,HI5 AND TAGGED.
