how to make a friend

I like meeting new people and friends, and here is a how to.
1. Put on a smile. No one wants to make a new friend with someone looking depressed. Be happy and the new person will want to know how to be as happy as you and have fun with you.
2. Walk up to the person. Crazy but you may have to be in proximity in order to make a friend, unless you want to make friends online. In this case, you can say some creepy online comment.
3. Complement the person on something. Everyone likes to be complimented, and this will start a conversation.
4. Introduce yourself. You may want the person to know your name..This step is pretty necessary.
5. Depending on what type of person you are or who you are talking to, either give the person a hug or shake their hand. I am more of a hug person, but some people are weirded out if a stranger hugs them, and some people do not like hand shakes, so in this case you can have a nice wave or smile to let them know you are nice.
6.YOU HAVE FRIENDS NOW, YAY! make a joke or be nice or talk about something you have in common with the person. If they had sports, do not talk about that with them. If they are more into school, have an educated talk with the person.
7.Try not to make your new friend upset, and now go have fun with your new friend!
