So where exactly are 你 supposed to meet these great new pals? Sitting in your room isn't going to make it happen! Start 由 getting involved in the activities and interest 你 already 爱情 whether it's an online Winx 粉丝 club 或者 a local 排球 league. Being the new kid in the group will feel weird at first, but remember, you're all there because 你 share the same interests. What could be a better ice breaker? If 你 think you're already way involved and still aren't connecting with people, it might be time to step back and re-evaluate how 你 act around others. Don't be too haughty 或者 condescending. It is far 更多 important to be nice than be interesting. Instead of heading straight 首页 after a game, grab a 比萨, 比萨饼 with the team. The 更多 time 你 invest in getting to know others, the easier it is for them to see 你 as an A-list friend.
PS: 你 need not dress up in dandy clothes 或者 wear loud make up to attract people. 更多 than artificial make up, simplicity attracts people. Smile often, make eye contact, don't look too tensed and listen to what others have to say!
Form a Study Group
Does your math teacher give super-hard exams? Is your history teacher always giving pop quizzes? Round up a few others from your class to study together each week. Ask your teacher if 你 could pass around a sign-up sheet 或者 make an announcement about the group after class.
Detach Yourself From Technology. Temporarily!
Put away your cell phone from time to time and take a look around. Who seems funny 或者 interesting? Which people in the room have 你 never talked to? Who pays attention to your ideas? Make a mental note and spend a little time getting to know these people face-to-face. When your group gets together, share notes and chat about class. Find out what your classmates like about the teacher and what they can't stand. Make flash cards together 或者 测试 one another. Bring snacks and share what's going on in your life. You'll have new 老友记 before 你 know it.
Slow...
Say you're seriously crushing on a guy, would 你 run up to him and announce 你 two are now a couple and you're now going to spend every single 日 together? Um, not unless 你 want him to run in the other direction. The same goes for making friends: 你 want to take things slowly at first. Wait until 你 feel comfortable talking to each other during band practice 或者 on the walk 首页 from the 图书馆 before 你 suggest getting together. Skip high-pressure 或者 potentially awkward situations, like your grandpa's 85th birthday bash.
Opt for something casual: "So, have 你 seen that new movie? I thought it'd be fun to get a bunch of people together to go." Will it be totally nerve-wracking to make the first move? Probably but it'll have been 更多 than worth it once the ice is broken and you're out having fun with your new friends.
And then? Don't sit back, relax and expect lasting friendships to occur. It requires communication from both sides. Therefore, call up people 你 have just met, 电子邮箱 old 老友记 who have moved away, drop in occasional sms just to say 'hi'.
Old 或者 new... Last but not the least - don't forget old friends. If they have moved away 或者 if 你 have moved away, be in touch with occasional phone calls and emails. Don't leave old 老友记 for the sake of new ones.
