Charming People and Making Friends

The world can be a lonely place. People are social animals, but in a world where everyone is in a rush and where many people have begun turning to the internet for their social experiences meeting people and making friends has become increasingly hard. Many do not have the skills necessary to make and keep new people around. Here is a list of tips to help make charming people and making friends a little bit easier.

• You cannot make friends from your house, and usually not on the internet, either. Get out of the house and go to a bar, coffee shop, club, etc., or wherever you are most comfortable. A comfortable environment is best because you'll be less likely to make friends if you aren't comfortable.


• Before actually talking to someone you should first see if the two of you have common interests. Follow them around for a few days and see what they do and go through their trash. This way you'll see what they like, where they go, how they interact with others, and see whether or not a friendship with them is possible or even worth your time.


• When talking with new people, stare straight into their eyes and don't blink. When they ask why you are looking at them like that, simply say "You're pretty" or "You're handsome." Do it with as straight a face as possible so that they know you mean what you say and they'll appreciate the compliment.


• When someone gives you their phone number, call and text them constantly, at least 50 times a day. This lets them know that you are thinking about them.


• Most people appreciate a good surprise. Go into someone's house when they should be away or asleep and leave a present next to their bed.


• When you meet someone new, you should check occasionally to see that they are safe. Drive to their place and watch them through their window so that if there is an emergency you will be there to offer immediate assistance. They'll appreciate the gesture. Make sure that you call and tell them that you are watching, however. You don't want your new friend freaking out if they see you watching them.

• Above all, don't get discouraged if you don't make friends immediately. Not everyone will be receptive to you, but keep trying and you'll have new friends in no time.
