1) Listen and Ask Questions: People like to know that they are being heard. By making a conscious effort to show you’re intrigued by what they are saying, it will show that you’re genuinely interested in being their friend.
2) Give a Compliment: Even if no one likes to admit it, everyone loves a little ego boost! It doesn’t need to be a HUGE compliment, it can even be as small and saying “Hey, I like that shirt you’re wearing!” The key is to simply be genuine!
3) Ease up on the Texting: You’re less likely to meet new people if you are constantly texting. Take a few minutes to put your cell phone down and notice the people around you! When you’re texting it gives others the impression that you’re unavailable, so give everyone a chance to get to know you!
4) Get involved: You can always meet new people in new settings! Be involved! Go out and participate in social activities through the school or here at Wolverine Crossing! There is always someone new to meet!
5) Take Out Those Darn Headphones: ‘Nuff said, right? You won’t meet nearly as many people as you can if you are always listening to music as you walk down the hallways at school or at your apartment. You close yourself off to those around you if you have your headphones in. So give everyone a chance to know you and take those darn things out!
6) Workin Hard Or Hardly Workin: Getting a job is always a good way to make new friends! It will help you make new friends in a setting where everyone has the same hardworking goals! Whether you have a job working in your favorite clothing store, making pizza, or cleaning floors and toilets you’ll have something to complain/ not complain about and bond over with others!
7) HAHAHAHA: Laughing shows that you have a good sense of humor and who doesn’t love a new friend with a sense of humor!
8) CHEESE! : Don’t forget to smile! Flash those pearly whites!!! :D
