When you are going to make a friend you just have to be nice. Introduce yourself, say your name clearly and loudly, look into the other person’s eyes and shake the other person’s hand firmly.

Make sure you do not talk about politics or religion the first time that you meet a person. Try to talk about simple things and try to find similar points of view. After that, be sure that you don’t sound conceited. Don’t ask about personal things, except if you want to get the other person’s phone number at the end of the conversation, but just at the end. It is very important to act like you always do. Also don’t lie! It is very unpleasant.

If you do all of this things, I am sure that you are going to get a new friend. It is a good beginning. The rest of the relationship you are in charge. Remember that a friend is more than a person who you just know; a friend is like a brother or sister, he or she is the person who you can trust to live a great life.
