Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.  

1. Take Pictures  

One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it's very easy after taking a picture to say "Are you on Facebook?" or "If you'd like I can email it to you. "  

This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.  

2. ________  

If you don't know anyone in a new city, it can be tempting to order take-out and retreat back to your lonely apartment or hotel room. Instead, try eating by yourself in public as often as possible.  

You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. Bring a book or newspaper to read ( this will make you feel less self-conscious). Also, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they've read it.  

3. Join a Class, Sports Team, or Club  

Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, jogging, a class for work, martial arts, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one[ At these great places to meet new people, you'll automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see the same people over and over again in the class.  

If you're having trouble thinking of a good one to join, try browsing the many clubs on MeetUp. com or the events on CraigsList.com.  

Bonus Tips:  

l         In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it's something you wouldn't normally do.  

l         Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are, thus helping establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).  

l         Never let little things in life annoy you or be a negative person. Others won't want to be around you!

Making friends in the first few weeks of school is easy. Many students can find a friend in little time. They can be amazed at how close they can get to someone whose interests are completely different, and how comfortable they feel about expressing their mutual(相互的)fondness.

Unusual bonds(关系) are one of the great pleasures of school life, and can lead to enriching relationships based on mutual respect. Mostly, though, by a couple of weeks into term, they are really embarrassing. And shaking off friends can be a lot harder than making them. School is all about being busy and trying new things, so you needn’t feel too bad about ditching( 与……断绝关系) old friends in favor of new people and experiences. So long as you do it kindly.

The pace of school life can be a great excuse for turning down another invitation for a party. You can even claim to be studying---you’re at school, and you’re supposed to work hard. Another kind way of getting rid of an unwanted friend is to go on inviting them out, but to events where lots of other people will demand your time. Or you could suggest activities that you think they’d enjoy, but which you won’t actually be able to make yourself. Then you could say “I’m really  busy at the moment. I’ll give you a call when I’ve finished this assignment”.

But wait. Hasn’t someone just said that to you? How do you manage to stay such company that you’re not the one being ditched?

For a start, concentrate on how interesting the other person is. Remember the things going on in their lives and text or ring to check how they got on with those things. Do sympathize(同情) if things have gone badly, and congratulate them if things have gone well. Have a weekly time and place where you meet friends, so that you can invite new friends to drop in. There, the more cheerful you appear, the more popular you are likely to be.
