Hi there. Okay let me advice you in simple words.you know that smile cost nothing. Go ahead give a sweet smile to the person you want to be friend with. Ask him or her weather they can be your friends.if you don't tell or ask that person won't know.maybe you are kind of serious. be more frank and open.so that they will know that you are wonderful.talk a lot,intact with them,impress them.follow me.

Oh.........is too bad to hear this , whether you are there for study or work.I can say that don't feel shy .......try to talk and get some help from other by saying that i am new to this country and in that way you can build up your friend ship ....be confident and talk more.

I can only suggest: Be aggressive and confident. Be the first to approach people and talk to them. People are usually shy themselves and would wait for others to do the first move. Don't be shy of not being able to converse with them properly because of the language limitations. As long as you get your message across and you be sincere with them, you'd make really good friends with a lot of people.

Be confident enough to talk with everybody,Don't be shy as you will not get a friend.Talk with one friend out there,introduce and tell can you please share something about this place as i am new.If she is a good girl she will take you every where and hope you will get friends later on.The thing is that first you had to stay stick with one and later on her friends will be all yours only.

Dear angeladang , be a confident person, try to talk and ask help from them by saying I am new here in this country I have no idea at all, naturally they might help you and slowly you will become familiar with them. It is hard to survive for one to two days after that everybody will be familar. And you will get enough friends.Don't worry everything will be fine.

Hi, I am just wondering which country are you in now? In the first place, are you in that country for your study or work? You can always make a new friend there through your study or even at your work place. The first thing to bear in mind is don't feel shy. Make the first move to approach your new friend.After some introduction,then you will get chance to chit chat and then the friendship will be build up. Nothing to be rush about...slowly as time pastby, you will have more friends in the new country. Happy Monday !!
