First, be a friend..............

Where?  Here... just start answering and making lots of sense.  Look things up on the internet if you aren't sure of the correct answer.

This isn't as social as it is mission related.

Join a sports team. A common misconception about this is that you have to be really good at playing a particular sport in order to make friends with others on the team, but not all teams are so competitive. As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. But a sports team isn't the only way. If you play instruments or sing, try joining a band or choir.

Visit your local church or bar. Tons of like minded people.

Don't try too hard, be yourself, I agree with ed, the local pub is a great place to meet local people, do some charity work in your area if you are able, everyone has a lot to offer, just extend your hand.

give karma,maybe you`ll get some back.

be  nice to people and they will be your  frind
