People usually only show a strong interest in getting to know charismatic individuals, which sucks for anyone who isn't naturally charismatic. So for the rest of us normal people, we have to work a bit harder when making new friends.
People are interested in themselves and if you act interested in them, it will make them feel special. Find out what they're interested in and ask questions about it. Avoid saying anything negative because people shy away from people who are downers. And make an effort to portray confident body-language while talking to people you want to get to know better.
When you find someone you like, arrange to do something fun with them. After that, it's best to organize something with them on a regular basis (about once a week) to maintain regular contact.
Allow the friendship to develop naturally over a couple of months. Don't divulged all of your darkest secrets or problems until you've been friends with them for a while. When you eventually have been friends for a month or two reveal those things in small doses and usually they will do the same.
Is it normal to be a twenty-year-old college student with no friends?
