There are many ways to make new friends. People can use ICQ in the internet to make more internet friends. Therefore, people can meet their internet friends outside and so on, but it is not a very good way to meet friends.

If someone who wanted to make more friends, I would give you some advice. At first, you can using ICQ to meet new friends, you can meet friend quickly. On the other hand, you can post your detail on the newspaper, it can make you are known for people. If anyone want to meet you, they can connect you. I hope this advice can solve your problem.

It is easy to find friend in the school and office because you have the same subject of a talk.
You should more friendly and you should make the other trust in you. If anyone has the same hobbies with you is better to become a friend. I would sure that if you make other feeling you have sense of security to become your friends, they will your friends.
After they become your friends you should always talk and meet them because you should keep on your relationship.

If you want to make more friends, you had better take my advice.

My advice is that don�t be afraid to talk to your new friends. When you first time to meet a new friend, may be they would not talk anything to you but never mind because you can be initiative to talk to them. When you are talking to them, try to found something that they like to listen. Then you can talk more things that they like to listen. Let them feel that you are an interested people because everyone wants to talk to an interested people. And then you must make them feel you are a people who can be trust because trust is very important between two peoples.

If you really do what I say, I am sure that you can make more friends.

Many people want to make more friends. But they don�t know how to do. There are some advices to easier make friends.
First of all, you may have similar interests with other people. If you can do this, you will make friends easier. You have more common talking-point and easier join a club or play a sport.
When you talk with people face to face, you must look them in your eye. Don�t looking to anywhere.
If you talk with people face to face and look them in your eye feel difficult, you may ask them the telephone number and talk to them in the phone.

I want to tell you something, when you want to make more friends. There are some advices for you: Firstly, you must talk more don�t be shy. Talk more with each other. Don�t talk just yourself must talk about your friends. Secondly, you must use your heart to trust your friends. After you make a new friend, keep in contact with each other. If you do not contact each other, then it will be lose friends easily. So I think this is important. At last, I hope you can make more friends.

People live without friends. Making friends has become a part of our life .but many people don�t know how to make a friends well. So, there is some advice to give to make a friend well.
First of all, if you want to make a friend with other people, you must find something to say .for example, talk something about the new game, the favorite singer and something else .if you can do this, you can make a friend well.
Second, if you can�t find something to say, you may have the same hobby, because the same hobby can make you and other people have the same thing to say .it can help you to make a friend easily.
Third, after you meet other people, you must ask for him or her mobile phone number, because you can keep in touch with him or her.

Everyone needs a good listener. Be a good listener. I think it is easier to make friends. When you listen to people, it will make people want to be your friend because they are interest in you. If you are a good listener, you will know what your friends think. Then you can give them some advice when they are in trouble. I think it can make a good friend.

[Vincent k]

If you want to make more friends, you must be honest that I think it is extremely important. On the other hand, you should be a interested guy.
As long as you don't do it, I advise you to give up. If you don't want it, I advise you to pretend a interested guy. Therefore, you must be a good listener and speaker because you can learn about communication skill and then you can make plenty of friends.



Don't be afraid, just believe

Simply, the best way to make friends is to say hi to a stranger you meet, with a nice smile.

In this way I have got many friends since my college years.

There are many ways to make friends. Such as, taking part in parties, joining in camping or some activities, etc.
But when you are going to make friends, you must keep in polite, and not to rude. Usually keeping in smile that can help you easily to communicate with other people.
