I'll be you friend! :)
All you have to do here is ask and answer questions and you will meet people who you can follow and talk to on Message. There are a lot of nice people here who are very friendly. The longer you're here, the more you'll meet! Before you know it, you'll have lots of friends !
I can be your friend :)
But an easy way to make friends in real life, is just to pick up a hobby of some sort and you'll meed people. If you keep meeting people you start hanging out with them and voila there you have a couple of friends.
Take me for example I'm quite shy I won't go talking to strangers but just by having some hobbies i've managed to maintain a pretty big group of friends.
