How do I make new friends?

[Eleanor]

I am very good at meeting acquaintances, you may call them friends, but I have VERY FEW actual close friends. My close friends are so important to me, and with them there is no such things as becoming an "ex friend". Usually such things happen with more shallow acquaintances who I would hang around with a lot for several months, but that's about all.

What I do is just strike up conversations with people at school or anywhere, in a non creepy way or course. lol If you have trouble with this, normally letting the other person talk about themselves in a step in the right direction.
