How I Make New Friendships (6 Steps)

Lots of people struggle to make new friendships outside school or work (or even in these places). Yet, follow the 6 steps to new friends, and friends start to come easy.

Until I turned 19, I had no real friends. I had no idea how to make friends. I was disturbingly alone. It was painful.

Now I am 24 and can say that I am the leader and popular guy in every clique I am a part of.

What am I doing differently that changed things so much that now I write about the social arts for a site called GirlsChase? And how can you use my experience to make new friendships, enjoy an awesome social life... And, oh, by the way – get girls chasing you?

The advice is great but more on opportunity please.

I find that a lot of it also has to do with opportunity in terms of making friends. When I lived in a small town, I found making friends rough. I have seen that in some areas, people are cliquish to where making friends can be an uphill battle for an outsider. A good example of this was back in my college town, in order to get into the parties you had to be friends with fraternities and sororities. Unfortunately, the fraternities and sororities usually hated outsiders to where even charismatic people struggled like no other.

Even the best social skills can falter in close minded places and places where people are fearful of outsiders. I wish that there were posts about making friends that dealt with activities, locations and cities good for people looking to get large social circles, and things of that nature.

Hi,
In small groups or towns, it helps to bear more towards being the most generous with material things. Always strive to provide money, food (raw fish, meat, snacks) or an open door for people to be able to find you at home. This way, the cliquish attitude sways in your favor - they talk about how generous you are. This way, you would have become an asset and would always be welcome to hang out with them.
Oh! And when you are asked to hang out, bring some extra cash to foot the bill too. ;)
