Learning to make friends

[Amida]

Hi Guys

 

I was wondering if anyone one can give me some guidance on the process of making friends.

 

I meet lots of people and gain lots of acquaintances but I have no idea how to make them friends. Most of my current friends I've known from school so I never really needed to know how to make new friends but I'm living in a new town now so I need to make a conscious effort.

 

A book or some advice would be awesome please

I'm an extreme introvert. The best way for me to make friends when I'm in a new environment is to join classes. Any kind of classes that you're interested in: art, language, cooking, anything! With classes, you keep seeing these people again and again, so there will be a chance for you to ask them to hang out with you and then take it from there

You should try and go to a recreation center if you have one around. Join group sports or teams like darts, or hockey or anything!

well! it depends on you and new guys you met.

the interesting thing is not issue to make friends

say if you enjoy tennis, and other guy enjoy tennis but

he is (gay for example which you hate) , my point is to

look for alike people, so when you catch some one then

you should begin to introduce your self and your hobby

and Compliment him sometimes.

be kind and concerned with, share him your ideas

if you feel he interested with you then invite him to play game

or even to your home

Listen and Ask Questions. Other people like to know they're being heard and that their ideas are appreciated. By being a good listener, you let others know that you value what they have to say and, by extension, who they are. You can let others know you're paying attention by making eye contact while they're speaking, then asking a question or two about what they're saying. If the conversation goes well, ask the person for his or her phone number or email, then make plans to hang out.

 

Give a Compliment. Everyone loves an ego boost. Noticing something you like about someone and sharing it with him or her is a great way to forge a connection and start a conversation. When giving a compliment, be honest and genuine. Even if you're complimenting something very small—like the color of the person's shoes—it's likely to be appreciated. You might even receive a compliment in return!

 

Laugh. Letting others know that you think they're funny makes them feel good and shows them you're interested in what they think. It also shows you have a good sense of humor, which is one of the top things teens look for in a person, whether it's a best friend or a boyfriend or girlfriend.
