Making friends doesn't come naturally to some people, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. It is possible to make friends no matter where you are and what your interests are. The Internet has helped to make it faster and easier to meet a wide range of friends in any area of the world. There are also plenty of methods for making friends without the use of the Internet.

Step 1:

Join a club or charity group. Most areas, even small ones, have local booster clubs, charity groups, hobby clubs and other groups who gather regularly. This is a great way to make friends in your local area. Think about your interests and what types of clubs you would enjoy being a part of. Like caves? Join a spelunking group and make friends with like interests. Like to read? Find a local book club.

Step 2:

Make friends online with local Gather groups. Gather.com connects people by allowing them to create groups who have similar interests. By joining Gather you can join any number of interest groups from scrapbookers to dumpster divers.

Step 3:

Use Meetup to make friends online. This site is similar to Gather, but it has a focus on local groups. The groups come together to discuss their mutual interests and then arrange times to meet up in person. This is an efficient way to make friends who live nearby and who share your interests.

Step 4:

Take a class. Being in a classroom everyday brings you into close contact with many people who share your interest in the subject. Many schools offer continuing education classes that offer useful knowledge or fun hands-on projects to do. Join study groups with your classmates or schedule a night out with a few classmates after class is over. In some cases, your employer may pay for continuing education courses that could be useful to your job.

Step 5:

Talk to the people around you. It's possible to make friends just about any day of the week. You come into contact with people everyday. Instead of seeing them as fleeting images, see them as potential friends. Start a casual conversation and see what you have in common with the people around you.
