How To Make Friends and Maintain a Good Friendship

To make friends you need to just get out there are say "hi." Connect with people and make them want to see you every day. Start conversations that tick. If you have the humor bone, crack jokes to make people laugh. Look smart, dress trendy, and you're on the path to getting noticed and being liked.

But making yourself visible is not just to become a popular figure. Once you gain some contacts you'll be able to gauge likeminded personalities and they'll be able to track you as well. You can go deeper into the relationship and get really close. So now you have your inner as well as outer circle of friends to get close to.

There just aren't any limits as to where, when and who to make friends with. Friends can be found at your workplace, school or college or at the beach, mall, gaming arcade, hostel, and even at church or any other religious place.

Natural friendship
It's quite natural to make friends with someone you meet almost every day or every week, such as on your way to work, at your regular evening hangout destination, or your classmates at school or college or colleagues at work. This is natural friendship or passive friend making. Introspective or reserved individuals normally get friends this way, when the opportunity comes to them.

Aggressive friend making
But if you desperately need friends that won't always work since you can never be sure that opportunities will always come to you. You need to get out there and make those steps we talked about. But those are easy for outgoing people to do. In fact they don't need to be told how to make friends - it just comes naturally.

Online friend making - easier from your armchair
But if you are a quiet person, always standing in the background or in some corner, watching friends having fun, wanting to be part of them but being too shy to utter a single word to them, you need some help. May be you can ask someone to introduce you to some people. But an easier way is to just head online to a friendship or dating website where you can find friends of all kinds from all over the world. You are sure to find friends of your liking and taste.

And once you make friends through a reliable online friend network it's easy to stay in touch as well - through video chat, email, individualized messaging, and so many cool features. Start now with a smile!
