• Answer:

  You can try being at many events as possible. You can even take notes on who goes to what places and such. Make sure people can see you and know you're at those events. Then you can strike up a conversation like "oh, I've seen you at so and so." Just making small talk is enough to befriend people if done over an extended period of time. Also, try not to look timid or intimidated in public. I find that having a slight smile on your face at all times helps everywhere you go.
