<p>listen dawggg, go to the gym, find a chick who is curling those 2 pounds, starting curling 100 standing right next to her, and tell her what she's doing wrong...the beginning of a one night stand...</p>
<p>just kidding. umm, no offense, if ur shy, frats wont take you. unless you join a frat that no one likes. i guess it does kinda suck. but gym, classes, etc are the best places.</p>
<p>and hell, dawg, go to parties, meet people...im kinda over that meeting new people hype now...but in the first couple of weeks of fall quarter, i was introducing myself to everyone i see.</p>
<p>No chance you can get with a girl from the gym, my friends who are built like greek sculptures have never made that happen. The only thing you CAN do is impress someone you already know if you go together. But that's the extent of it.</p>
<p>And unless you're affiliated with a house, again, it's difficult to make **** happen with a girl at a party that will go outside that party. UNLESS, of course, you already know her again.</p>
<p>I speak from experience and had these problems until I jumped the fence and joined a fraternity. That **** will open doors for you you never knew existed..</p>
<p>i feel like you just reiterated what i just said, megathunder...</p>
<p>You've got to get out and meet people. Friendships don't just happen - you have to be proactive with them. Introduce yourself to people, get their numbers, etc.</p>
<p>what about the nonacademic classes like photography, golf, tennis etc? are those good places to meet people?</p>
<p>You can meet plenty of people in your classes - since south campus wise, group studying works to your advantage. Sure, you're competing, but that doesn't mean you can't have friends. You can meet people so many ways, just put yourself out there and have an open-minded attitude. You don't have to do a 180 on yourself and become a different person, just be willing to strike up and conversation and... oh.. remember people's names!</p>
<p>Newton, you sound like a real ****ing loser...no offense! :rolleyes:
Reading between the lines?
Hey I'm only saying what everyone is thinking. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>haha, youre a realy funny guy grasspuppet. but if youre so cool, then why are u wasting your time posting on this thread?</p>
<p>I got lucky. I met my friends online through a huge forum and they turned out to be going to UCLA. ^_^ Hoorah for common interest! </p>
<p>But I would recommend to keep trying. Do you have any interests that other people might share? I realized that my niche is with people who like the same thing as me - which in other people's eyes is probably considered WHAT. But alas, it works. ^_^v</p>
<p>i felt like you first quarter, newton. but then i sucked it up, got over it, joined the rugby team, a theater group and got a job. stop hating the world and take action!</p>
<p>or at least hate the world and have some friends by your side</p>
<p>best advice is to make time. be the first to invite your acquaintances.</p>
<p>I <3 mmelin & liyana & namaste & moldau
& mrmoo & mrspam (i wonder if mrpink is taken...)</p>
<p>yes. i am a huge dork. i met friends through cc.</p>
<p>should probably call them up for dinner... sometime...</p>
<p>am also friends w/ roomies. what are your aptmates like? </p>
<p>also dittoing ktcv. i get all my joking around done on the clock :D</p>
<p>emmeline - ia about dwm. and upper classmen are those who get singles.</p>
<p>Talk to people in class, ask if they wanna get food after you guys become class buddies or something? Ask them what they're doing this weekend at lunch? Wanna hit up a movie? If they're going to a party or something then go with, meet people, switch phone numbers..."we should hang out this week, wanna get coffee" if it's a girl or something and if it's a guy just ask if he wants to hit up sunset rec, the gym, play basketball. Get together and watch the tourney, go to a movie, ask if they wanna smoke hooka?</p>
<p>I never made any friends in class. well i made one last year because it was a cluster, but we didn't keep in touch after the class ended. i think you'd really have to hit it off to continue a friendship after the class ends.</p>
<p>Stop avoiding people. </p>
<p>Let me share something with you. Like you, I was a transfer student from a year ago. Maybe I was lucky to have roomed with two social guys. I befriended them, and from that friendship, it branched out like a tree; friends of friends, if you will.</p>
<p>Not until last year have I played soccer. Not only is it good for your health, it is also good for its social aspect. The more you make yourself available to others, the more they'll want you around. Branch out.</p>
<p>I think I am snobbish at times, and that's something I try to mitigate. Nevertheless, when I think a person's worth talking to, I make the effort. You never know, that person may be too shy to say hi to you. Why not make yourself the one to break the ice?</p>
<p>A year and two quarters later, I have a core group of friends. One I play tennis with on a regular basis; two I go to the gym with and eat with on a regular basis; and a number of extended friends to party with once in a while. The last set of friends I have are from my previous class. I would call them facebook friends, but in reality they're more than that. Though I usually keep in touch with them through facebook, I still try to make an effort to meet them, say, once in every quarter (or longer). </p>
<p>You have endless possibilities, but the limitation is singular: you. Break out of that mold.</p>
<p>Chillax.</p>
<p>P.S. When I say the 'person's worth talking to' that really means she's cute. It's not that I want to date them outright, but they interest me so go to work. Plus, wouldn't it be nice to have friends from all aspects: social, professional, etc?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I'm not on that list... :*(</p>
<p>well, of course youre not on the list... did you think you were would even be considered? :rolleyes: i rejected your valentine request and i would so happily reject you (in anyone way possible) again . </p>
<p>ive never made any sustainable friends in class either . . . sure ok facebook friends but most of mine have come from branching off from people who lived from my floor or w/e or past/current roommates/floormates . . . </p>
<p>otherwise people in class = facebook spam and sometimes a lunch ^o^</p>
