How do I make friends?

[vagrant]

Some of you may know, but I'm sure most of you don't know that I just moved to another state..

I'm pretty much lonely right now..

No guy/girl friends, nada, zero, nothing..

I'm here close to two months..

I don't go to school yet. Hopefully I start working next week..

You might be thinking work would be the best place but I'll be working night shifts with old female caregivers..

I'd be damn lucky if there was one hottie with me. Ugh! Imagine that! =p

I went to a skate park today..
Most of them were not even 16 yet..
There was one chick that caught my attention though..
I wanted to introduce myself but I felt she's too young for me..
Let's just say she was just not as mature as I would like my girl to be..

I also went to the mall which didn't really help..

I went driving around just so I know every part of every town..
It helps me feel like I'm in the hood where I know all the streets and I'm not afraid to walk out anywhere and anytime..

Well, let me get to the point. How do I make friends? Does anyone want to tell how you met your guy friend or girl friend?

No I'm not interested in learning how to pick up guys..

I just need a buddy so I don't feel lonely when I go to the mall to check out chicks..

There's still a little AFC in me and it would help to have a good buddy around..

How important is it to have a guy friend? Is it really that important to you or you don't really care?

I've had best friends when I was in middle school up to my freshman year..
After that, family just kept moving around and I was always the new guy..

I liked the feeling of being new..
I felt like I was a badass but I had a kid mentality then..
Now I feel the need to have friends around me from city to city and country to country. I need some pointers on how I can start this thing!~

Pick up bar. Find a guy and ask him if he needs a wingman.

Common interest, common goal. It's all good.

Browse the wingman section here. You may find a dude who would like to pick up girls with you. Join groups or do activities that are about your interests. If you are going to school or working, talk to the people around you.

I'm in the same problem as you but I really don't want to have male friends. I know I should have homeboys but I only spend my time talking to girls. I'm a bit anti-man friends because I've only had male friends growing up. Now I don't even want to bother trying to make guy friends. But if I wanted to then I would do the things I mentioned.

try craigslist, I've gotten a lot of skirt outta from time to time, most of time in my early days when I had g/fs I would breakup and hit craigslist for a nice "strange" romp to get me back in the single mode again.

The way I met my friends was through basketball. There was also a dance team I joined and I essentially have two groups of friends that I simultaneously usually hang out with.

I'm in the SAME EXACT situation. I moved to a different state a few months ago. Trying to mesh in a place where you know absolutely noone is truly difficult.

Its forcing me to really come out of my shell though. Not having too much success lately... which sucks, but Im learning.

Id skip trying to make guy friends to meet girls, and just meet the girls though.

Why do you guys don't want any male friends? A woman is gonna come in your life and sooner or later she's gonna disappear just like that.
You might not want any friends right now but some day it's gonna get to you as you're gonna have a gap in your life.
Anyway I haven't been into that position yet of moving to another city but I'd try make friends in school (shouldn't be hard) and join activities if I were you. Find a place where you and other people hang out often. I used to go to a pub people there would know each other as most of 'em were there pretty often. They wouldn't do much, just sit there drink a few beers and play some pool. Summer I used to go there everyday and I still have many friends which I met from that place that wouldn't mind hanging out if I gave them a call now.
People are everywhere. You just gotta build some rapport with them.

For your sanity it is better to seek male friends before a female cohort!!!!

Browse the wingman forum, as was posted above.

I shot up 75% from it.

How do I make friends?

Friendships usually begin with a common interest. By meeting someone on the wingman forum, you share the common interest of DJism. You could also join a club, group, organization, or team. It's the same idea. Common interests give you something to talk about and a reason to hang out together.
