I need some advice and help making new friends in high school.

Although I’m not a loner in school, I only talk to one guy at school, and we only talk to each other. Sometimes these conversation topics we talk about are not very interesting, and I get really tired of talking to only one person. That’s why I want to make new friends, but it’s really hard for me.

Now, I need some advice for the several questions (:

1) How do I start a longlasting, humorous, and interesting conversations? I’m not very good at long conversations, and I always end conversations really fast D’: I need some advice on that..

2) How do I step up to the people I want to be friends with? All the people I want to be friends with are already part of a huge crowd during snack/lunch, so isolating them for a conversation, I think, will be hard and awkward. What do I have to do? I plan on trying to talk to them via the internet first and then get to know them a little better, but I’m not sure.

3) If I have a person I want to friends with in my class, how do I become more friendly with them? Any advice?

4) How can you make a person like you as a friend when you meet them for the first time?

Thanks!

this is easy.
You need to talk about common interests.
THis is why after school clubs are great.
Debating clubs,band class,drama club,physcology club,etc,
Guys like to be asked questions they might know the answer to.
Also asking for help with homework.
Or trading help,your good at English,he is good at math.

Go up to them and complement them on something.
e.g. I like the answer you gave in English class.
Or your good at baseball?

If you know a guy who is into computers a lot.
Walk up to him and say “How hard is it to make your own website?”
