How to make a new friend

You can normally make a new friend in any setting. You have to keep your mind open for signs that someone wants to befriend you. You usually look for signs like if a person smiles or makes eye contact. To me this is the key because you cannot go up to someone who is angry. That will be a very terrible mistake, trust me! If you get a good intuition about someone, smile and introduce yourself. Begin to make a conversation with them about something general like 'what is your name?' or 'where are you from?'. Usually if that goes well that is a good sign. Begin to share some details about yourself with the person. They will see that you are comfortable talking about it and maybe they will share some details about themselves with you.
