Here is a Christian answer since that is what I am, and who I am. If you are a Christian-hater, then consider respectfully yourself warned. No one is forcing you to read my answer:
To make friends you must be a friendly person. You don't need to be a Christian to be friendly. A friendly person does the following:
They don't lie.
They don't steal.
They don't murder.
They don't covet.
They are careful to listen to what you are saying.
They are careful when they judge, making sure that they are not judging in hypocrisy.
They are careful with what they say, making sure not to insult you (not offend, but not insult). To insult someone is to say something to them to make them feel pain for your mere pleasure and in defiance of God.
They are patient and don't try and get rid of you or rush you out of their laziness or thinking they are too upper class to be around you.
They are careful about what they get angry about and try not to show their annoyance when you annoy them. For example, they make sure not to say something that might embarrass you in front of others like, "Your hair looks stupid."
They offer you help if they can give it and especially if it is not that inconvenient. For example if a stranger comes to your door, obviously thirsty, and he asks for some water, you go and get some cup you don't use (in case the person has T.B.) and fill it with some cool or warm water for them to drink, as opposed to saying, "You can drink from my hose" and then shutting the door on them. It would be especially unfriendly if you knew the water from your hose tasted bad.
If you want to make good friends, then you should make sure that you are a Christian (which you can find out how to do via the link in my profile hopefully). As a Christian with eternal life you should go to a church that teaches the correct way to get eternal life and which has people that are doing a good job serving God, as opposed to being a disorganized and bumbling people, and though may be growing in size, are doing more harm then good by what they are doing.
Find a church to go to where the people are friendly of course, and plenty of people for you to get to know and help. Also make sure you like the music, because it's very important that you can worship God without being depressed. If you can't find a church with music you like, see if any of the best ones are willing to play music you like or just avoid the music part of the services.
You can also make friends by helping the poor and needy, like the homeless or orphans. Don't do it for man's praise but do it for God.
If you are good at certain subjects such as math or science, you can post newspaper ads or fliers in schools offering your help for a low price or for free for people who need help with those subjects.
Other things to make sure about is that you are dressed in such a way that won't embarrass anyone hanging around you. Make sure your style of dress isn't wild, flamboyant, outdated, too plain, or sloppy. Also make sure your breath does not smell bad, and drink plenty of water or chew gum that uses sugar or xylitol and not the artificial sweeteners which can harm you. Make sure your shoes aren't smelly too.
You can also draw like-minded people to you by wearing clothes that make a statement, literally. For example, "You can get eternal life now, ask me how" or "Jesus rules" and wear a cross. Someone may bless you for your boldness and then ask them if they are a Christian, when they became one if they are, and what church they attend. Hopefully you can get to know them later.
You may not ever make any close friends here on Earth before you die, but if you have eternal life, you will have a never ending supply of close friends one day. Just be patient.

Walk up to them and introduce yourself, and make a comment such as "I like your outfit.", or "Where did you get that ___." and keep the conversation going for a few minutes. Then everyday, wave or stop by and say hello, and mention something interesting that happened or is going to happen Eventually, if they like you, they will start having conversations with you too.
Join clubs, organizations, and committees where you will be able to meet new people.

One way to gain friends is to have something to them. Its good to start a business and try to offer to other people this makes you gain a lot of friends.

why not introduce yourself? you don't have to be shy. its better so that people know you. if you depend on your friends, you won't have any progress in your life. don't depend on others. take the initiative. let people know you for who you are, not for who your friends are.

relies upon the place you return from and the place I stay. I had a pal in college who got here from Devon and he and his dad and mom used words like s**t, f**ok, b*gg*r and c**t as though they have been completely suited to all and sundry. even though difficulty-loose communicate would not have been too quite some a difficulty as I come from a area (Fife) the place language is especially uncomplicated.
