Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Some good places are dances, raves (if you're old enough), the mall, and school, definitely.

I think that a good way to meet new ppl is just to be friendly and outgoing. find a good topic or statement to start a conversation. If they go to ur school u could ask,"did u do good on ur science test" or something like that. Once they c u r a friendly person they will probably feel comfterable talking back!
Good luck,

Join a club, take up a new hobbie- cliched but true.

be friendly - show a bit of yur 'weird side' (hey, everyone's got one!! lol), but not TOO much. that way, people remember you, but not as a total freak. meet your friend's friends. i met heaps of people this way. lok at my profile - the story there tells about time i met HEAPS of people... good luck!!

Well, don't just go up to people and say 'Hi, I'm ___ but you can call me ___" A girl did that to be once. I thought she was insane. Just start talking to people, get to know them and once you know them, ask them to do something with you. Don't be over friendly. That's my main piece of advice.

Meeting new people requires changing your scenery. Go to new pubs or clubs and don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with a stranger.
That's all there is to it really.

I'll tell you what's NOT good way to meet people. Here's a story for you...
When I went to a Women in Computer Science program a couple of years ago, our floor counselor told all the girls in my program that we had to be more social, i.e. we couldn't all sit at one table, and we couldn't sit in our hallway playing Spades during free time all the time. So we broke up into subgroups of our big group, and my group kind of surrounded the door. We said "hi" to every person that walked in, and explained that our counselor was making us try to make new friends.
We didn't make any friends this way. Actually, people just thought we were freaks.
The people who were friends outside my program that week were people I met our first night there when there wasn't a lot of room and we wound up sitting at the same table. Just try talking to people, and find out if you have anything in common. You may be surprised by the results.

Go new places!
When you're in a social situation, make eye contact. Talk to people. Smile. People like friendly people! Get involved through volunteering, church groups, school groups, whatever. Meet your friends' friends. Be gregarious! ...yeah, easier said than done. But it works!
