Don't wait for others to do these things for you. Call people and ask them if they have time to come out or organize an activity.
Don't worry about people thinking you're hungry or clingy. Focus on yourself and your goals. If all the efforts are effective in the end, who cares?
Make new friends. Sitting at home every night can't bring you the friends you must take the initiative, so force yourself to go out and make as many friends as possible. You may feel scared at first, but it will always pay off in the end.
One of the easiest ways to make friends is through the friends you already have. Go to parties or social activities with them and ask friends to introduce you.
Get to know others through hobbies or courses. Friends are usually people with the same hobbies as you, so people you know through hobbies or classes have good potential friends.
Learn about others through work. You may have a relationship with a colleague who feels very connected, but you never get along after work. Now is the time.
Make friends online. Sometimes, people don't have a good impression of meeting people online, but it's actually a good way to meet people. Blogs, social networks and online forum posts are all feasible ways of communication.
Don't be too sensitive. Meeting people for the first time can be difficult. They may not be interested or willing to work hard. On the other hand, you may hit it off, but you never hear from them again. Don't be discouraged. It takes time to find a true friend.
Don't be picky. Don't be biased against the people you get along with. Pickiness is not a good strategy when you try to make friends. Your primary goal is to meet as many people as possible, so talk to everyone and keep an open mind.
Even if people you know don't seem to have anything in common with you, talk to them first and give them a chance.
You can't tell whether the other person is a real friend at a glance-you must know them first-so consider every possibility!
