Fuck of ayy lmao space nigger. Also: Best way to start friendship is usually at a place where you share some interest. Ie: class that teaches some skill, seminars, conventions. Or via mutual friends. That way you will have instantly what to talk about. Just approaching people on the street is hard, because you will have little to no things you can build conversation from. I make myself do some small talk with staff, so that just speaking isn't an issue. Also I always keep it in a back of my mind, that most people, that I approach this way I'll never see again / they won't remember me. It also depends on what kind of relationship you want. At beaches and parks it's hard and you'll have most success with something casual and fun like inviting for a game of volleyball or some other shit to pass time. Also doing something unusual like flying a kite / rc airplane or doing a barbecue will make people curious. Think of things that would attract kids (no pedo intended). What they seek is casual interesting fun. Then you can welcome people to join you. Big part of not being creepy is being casual and interested in what you do, not the people around you plus if you are really interested in what you do, you'll have fun regardless. Another big thing is groups. Go with some friends (also known as co-piloting). This way people will be more eager to approach you. Also you can have way more activities and will be more confident and could do more blunt things. Also, make sure to listen to the other person and try to with all your heart understand what they feel. People would kill for attention. Being extraverted I'm quick to befriend people, but rarely would make an effort to build on that as I got some good friends already. I also have texting and reserve it for just casual short meaningless conversations with most. Going out will have much more impact and that's what you should strive for. Hang out, have fun, have and do things that interest you and be passionate about them. That's my experience at least.
