How do you? Because I am useless at it, or at least the making friends when I meet someone. I've always, always been a very shy person. And growing up through schools and college, I had maybe one or two people that I guess I would call friends, but once school or college was over, I've never heard from them again. The two friends that I do have are pretty awesome, but I rarely see or talk to them. One of them I've known for basically my whole life, and the other I met about 6 years ago. We had our problems and hated each other for a bit, but somehow we managed to work through it and are now closer than ever. But she lives about an hour away from me, so we don't meet up that often. I've just started to feel very lonely and just want people to talk to, I just don't know how to go about it. And because I don't even know now to make friends, how am I ever supposed to have a relationship with someone meeting straight people is hard enough, finding a gay girl that's gonna like me seems impossible
I join clubs (campus or community) that have people with a common interest- like a wind band or anime club or whatever. Then you know you can connect with the people there and make all sorts of new friends.
I don't really know what interests I have. I want to join rugby again, but I work on the nights they train. I also work for myself with horses, so I don't have anyone to work with, plus a lot of horsey people annoy me. I don't know what other clubs there are really
You might have a look here: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/anonymous-discussions/149346-where-can-i-meet-lgbtq-people.html#4 Are there any horse clubs where you are, where you maybe could train with others or maybe have rides together ? There are many other sports except for rugby....
I go to events on campus and talk to people in my class. I don't really have any else to tell you, to be honest
I'm the exact same way. Everyone I'm friends with now started out as people I had to be around a lot like from work or school or as roommates. Otherwise I'm too shy to go out of my way to meet random people. And it's hard to be consistently social when you're shy, so it's like I have to have a reason be around them a lot for them to get to know me well. I would try joining a club/social group with people my own age. Or maybe hang out at a college campus?
College classes or clubs. Finding a new hobby is also a good way to meet people and you will have at least one common interest.
Mostly school... clubs.. online.. work.. Otherwise, once I finish school, I don't know where else I'd possibly meet any more. I'm not much of a bar person. LOL.
In school I just kind of help people, until people adopt me as their friend. I also interact with people on Facebook, and in several groups I'm in (for example organizing local conventions). I make friends in the most strange and diverse places .
College,Work,Facebook I met most of my friends through Facebook we talk for a while and we go on a "Date" usually grab lunch and go to our crappy mall and if we click we continue to hang out.
I generally make new friends with people who are friends with my current friends. It's like a domino effect.
I don't, really. I've met all my friends through school or other friends. I love meeting new people, but I just don't get the chance to socialise.
I don't. Unless you count online people you never meet in person. Which I'm gonna go ahead and do so. So I meet people through online games such as WoW. I've met closest my friends through WoW and RS. Maybe that sounds weird to most people, but it is what is. I'm no good at befriending people in person, heck I would I would say I'm crap online as well. /shrug
It doesn't... i have heard from others who experience the same... but maybe it would be possible to make something in rl... like going to a convention...
