How to make new Friends

Have you ever wanted to make a new friend? Maybe you have, but you’re just too shy or are not sure of how to approach them. It’s understandable; many people just don’t know how to make friends. Luckily, I love making friends and can give you a step by step manual on how to make friends. First off, you need to spot someone whom you’d like to be friends with. It can be the lonely girl in the corner or the popular jock in the middle of a crowd of people. Anyone can be your friend if you really want them to be. Once you find someone, make eye contact with them. You may not believe it, but eye contact is the most important part of making friends or just meeting people in general. Once you make eye contact, smile at them and walk over to them. Saying “hi” right then would be the most obvious next step, but sometimes it can be easier to crack a joke or make a small observation at what’s going on around you. You need to break the ice somehow. Then once you start talking to them, decide whether they’re even worth continuing a conversation or if they’re just not an interesting company. If you do think they’re worth talking to, keep the conversation going. Find something you both can talk about; movies, TV. shows, and bands are topics anyone can talk about and soon you’ll find something both of you share in common.  Once you do, keep going on that topic. Soon you’ll see they’re the ones that want to keep the conversation going and voila; you’ve made a new friend.
