Any advice about making new friends in high school?

I'm starting high school this year and I am totally freaked! There are so many people at the school I'm going to and chances are, I'll have a couple classes with no one I know! A few of my friends are going to different schools which makes it even worse. Don't get me wrong I'm excited for high school, I just don't have much experience in making new friends. Any advice, personal experiences?


Also, (you don't have to answer this part if you don't want too but...) Every time I like a guy I end up becoming really good friends with him but it never goes any farther, I'm not ready to seriously date or anything but still its kinda frustrating. What should I do differently next year?Any advice about making new friends in high school?
Just enjoy the ride.


You might not like how things are progressing with your guy friends, but hey; you probably won't marry any of them, so don't sweat it.





As for making friends- just be a friendly, likeable person.

i know you heard this advice before: just be yourself, last year also i was really scared on starting highschool first of all nobody from my middle school was going to my highschool except for like 7 people i just knew three, and i went with an open mind and a positive attidude being friendly and outgoing and made lots of friends in no time! im sure youll be able to make lots of friends to, oh yeah it helps to keep away from backstabbing people even if you dont like something about them keep it to yourself or tell it to a family member it'll help a lot cuz most of the time you end up being friends with that person and helps a lot when they know u can be trusted.
you are just like me on my first day of high school i was nervous and scared that i woudlnt make any new friends. if you follow these steps you will have a great year in high school and make new friends:





1) WHEN YOU GO ON YOUR FIRST DAY TRY TO BE COOL AND NOT TAKE CRAP FROM ANYONE.





2) TRY NOT TO ACT TOO EXCITED WHEN YOU MEET NEW PEOPL)THEY MIGHT THINK YOU'RE WEIRD).





3) FIND THE PEOPLE YOU ARE MOST SIMILAR TO.





4) BE FUNNY BUT NOT ALL THE TIME, TELL JOKES WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S THE RIGHT TIME.





4) ON YOUR FIRST DAY GO TO SCHOOL IN YOUR BEST OUTFIT AND LOOK YOUR BEST.





5) TRY NOT TO DO NOTHING EMBARASSING.





6) CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISLEY TRUST ME YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU THINK SOMEONE IS YOUR FRIEND AND THE STAB YOU RIGHT IN THE BACK.





HOPE THIS HELPS

Ever notice how almost everybody loves dogs? How does a dog react when you've been away awhile? It's because dogs act in the moment as if you're the best thing since steak that they are man's best friend.





Now I'm not suggesting you hump people's legs when you first meet them, but outgoing, plenty of smiles and happy always works.





Dale's book is old.. but it's not like people have really changed.

b urself. ';one who weres a mask for to long, forgets who they really are.'; if they cant accept u 4 u and ask u 2 do crazy stunts, then they aint worth ur friendship. kk? be urself. all u gotta do.. good luck =]
1) First you need to decide who you are, then you will be able to decide what type of people you should gravitate towards. Try to identify your predominant interests. For example, if your main focus is on heavy metal, then look for kids who you dress in a rocker fashion, etc. I know its hard, but dont conform yourself to make friends.





2) I went through the exact same thing! I ended the cycle by actually telling my male friend how I felt, and luckily he felt the same way. I think your having trouble because you never give any hints or signs that you like your friends. Try be flirty and if you think they like you back SAY SOMETHING!!!





good luck ;)
if you want advice from a old foggie, then just be yourself. if they are going to like you, then they will take you as you are. just do like you did when you were in middle school.
