I might be wrong, but I think your problem is that you are trying to make too much friends at once and ended up not having any. You meet people in school, work, etc. But at the same time you don't want to take them to parties, bars, etc because your trying to meet new people there as well. So you first have to ask yourself, do you want friends or do you just want to be known by people? The two sounds the same, but they are also very different. A friend to most, is someone that you will hang out with and do nothing at all and it would still be fine. Like going out for lunch, dinner, sports, bars, parties, watch espn, gathering, playing cards, etc. Most people only have a handful of true friends who they would hang out with, since it's impossible to divert your attention to 20 people at a time. -The easiest way is to meet them is through your classes. Like a study group, library, and such. Get to know them there, ask them if there are doing anything for the weekend, if not maybe you guys can go grab a drink or something. And if you both workout, go to the campus's gym with them. It's all about getting to know the person. And after you hang out with one or two people in classes and they get to know you better and you guys get along fine, chances are that person will introduce you to his circle of friends. Meeting friends through friends. (Most people have their own group of circle that they perfer to hang out with already; so your best chance is probably try to get into that circle, if you don't like it, find a new one) -Sometimes if you have girl friends, it would just be that much easier. Cause guys would just approach you to be friends with you to get to know your firends (unfortunate, but it's true sometimes). -At work it is harder, depending where you work at. If it's a company of a sort, most of them probably have a family with kid(s) so they won't don't have much time for you. So talking with people inclass and getting to know them is probably the easiest way to go. But if you just want to be known (for example: like people know your name or have seen you from somewhere) then keep doing what you are doing. Go me random people as acquaintances. Parties are not the ideal place to meet guy friends unless you have a median. Cuz most guys in bars or parties are not interested in meeting other random guys. Sorry for the long post.-sleep
