Making friends

[Hearth]

Hey guys. So I'm looking to greatly expand my social circle. It probably sounds kinda lame but I wanna be hanging out with the 'popular' guys i.e. the ones who hang with a lot of girls, and who generally have a lot going for them in their social life. At the moment I'm on vacation but will be returning to university in a couple of months. I'm just wondering where can I go and what can I do to make friends whilst i'm off and equally importantly when I'm back at uni?

I'm not a loner or anything by any means, but the only kind of people I seem to make friends with are people who like myself have nothing going on in their social life. I seem to be stuck inside half of the time because my friends are doing nothing but messing about on video games etc. I'm desperate to get this aspect of my life (amongst others) sorted out, so that this year at uni can be more enjoyable

Any help would be -greatly- appreciated. Cheers guys!

Now I don't like to bump my own threads, but I fear it'll slip through the cracks otherwise. Any advice please guys?

I had this problem starting out too
I hated clubs, bars so here's what i did
make friends at work/school
one friend will introduce you to a few others
then those new others will lead to even more others
then you have a network of people you can hangout with
EXPAND the circle bro

Just be yourself. You sound like a very nice person, so I would respect what they like and try do hang out with them doing what they like at first. Then try to show them your interests and see if they will try some of them.

Greatly appreciate the comments. How do I go about meeting people outside of uni though? Is joining sporting clubs etc. the only real way?

in uni are you living in a dorm? if so it will be quite easy to make friends, just strike up convos with other guys in the dorm and talk about guy sh1t like parties, girls, sports, etc. then get their number and hit them up to get lunch and party and that type of shiz. same thing with class, or anywhere really... just have a normal convo with them and tell them yall should hang out. also it helps to be interesting and not look like a nerd

Nope I'm not in a dorm. I'm living at home for the moment. Don't worry I don't look like a nerd
