wait it out

Answer 2

Always try to help others. You will get a lot of friends.

Answer 3

My first days at any new place (and I've done my share of moveing) I sit on thye side lines and ease drop. Ease dropping is not as rude as people will have you believe and it works great as a way to get to "know" someone without actually talking talking to them. If after listening for a while (just don't cross that line of being a stalker..no one is friends with the stalker). Make it a point to introduce yourself to the interesting ones when you see them next. Strinke up a conversation using lines like "I over heard you like.....(fill in blank here)." and see what happens.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Put yourself out there more. Actually mention things that you actually like and see if you click cause lets face it your not going to be friends with everyone. I dunno this sounds lame but a good convo starters is always sports, music and movies i know its lame but people often fall into those categories.

Also Ask questions and see what they respond to the most and let them talk because people love to talk about what interests them. Also this is very important always ALWAYS remember a persons name. Because if you remember their name the enxt time they you see them you can yell out and they'll feel good as if they made an impression onyou. Dont worry if they're dont remember yours because that would make them feel bad so that they'll be sure to remember it now  

Answer 6

First: look for extracurricular activities that you enjoy.  You'll meet people there who share your interests.

Shared interests are the basis of most close friendships.  Similarity is also important; look for people who are somewhat like yourself.

Conversations and friendships follow a pattern.  You start just as you have already--"hi, how are you".  Most of the time, we go no further than that with the people we meet.  Occasionally, we find something we want to talk more about--you can work into those areas by asking polite questions about easy topics (how do you like this class so far?  got any study tips for me, I need them!  I just moved here, do you know any good restaurants?)  Notice things about the other person--are they wearing a particular style or label, do they have an Ipod or a cd player that you can ask "what are you playing?" to find out if you have music interests in common, they might have something related to a sport.

If you find enough in common, then after time, you and the other person will form a close friendship.

Answer 7

nobody is friends from the very 1st day of coll. it will take some time as u are stranger to others students and they are stranger to u. hi. how are u can also lead to a good friendship just keep on the conversation.

Answer 8

if i wrere you i would try to approach people who have almost the same charakter as you have, it would make conversations and other things much easier! Never try to be friends with people you think too full of themselves it always ends bad, and if you think talking to someone is too  boring or you have the impression the person is unpleasant then let it be! it is not soooooo difficult to make friends, just be yourself!!! Good luck ;)

Answer 9

Please continue formal conversations with others regularly on different topics. After some time you will be nearer to the persons having personality like you automatically. Numbers of students would be in situation like yours. So keep it up & good luck.
