How to meet people?

I'm only 15, and I intensely dislike almost everyone at my high school, so I want to meet people (particularly guys) elsewhere. Since I'm 15, though, I'm limited to the mall, movies, and some coffee shops around where I live.





My only problem is that I've never had very good people skills. How exactly do you meet people when you're my age? I know that compliments work sometimes to start a conversation, but where do you go from there? And isn't it kind of awkward to just walk up to someone a start talking?





Help would be greatly appreciated.

How to meet people?
Well coming from a guy this is what I like to hear. Somthing along the lines of hey ive seen you alot lately, i am (insert name here). Do NOT BE PUSHY. If they say do i know you? say, I think I saw you in school. than make small talk about school. it works!
Reply:Happy conversation, secure body language, and have something to offer( not only financially), but say movies, popcorns,...or try telecafe from your phone.....you need a companion who could do things with you together, as I have a feeling your parents have been quite unfair to you...so find someone who appreciates what you like, dont be afraid to be the person you are.
Reply:wow, i am exactly like you.


lately, i have gotten fed up with all of my guy friends [which is a major amount of my friends] and some of the girls too.


im trying so hard to meet people.


and obviously, like you, nothing seems to be working.


i dont know if you ave a concert venue near you but i go to a place called Championship.


they have small bands play there alll the time and thats where i find a lot of people that are just like me.


its kind of relieving.
Reply:You are quite right, it's very hard/awkward to just walk up to someone and start talking to them... it's quite artificial. What you need to do is get to know people through activities. Perhaps there are some sort of youth groups in your area... or perhaps there are some sports you're interested in... in our community we have co-ed hockey and co-ed soccer and a swim club too. Guys your age are into sports... that's what they do in their spare time. They are also into video games... perhaps there's an arcade you and a gf might frequent. Unfortunately school is the place you're bound to find a high concentration of youth your age... do you know anyone at other schools that you could hook up with and try to meet their friends? You're young and I don't think there's any huge rush to get a bf if that's what's concerning you. Just be patient and wait for your friends to mature a bit. Good luck
Reply:Try getting a job working with the public, retail, grocery, coffee shop or the like. You will meet many new people and have the opportunity to enhance your people skills. Be warned you will get to practice with pleasant and unpleasant alike.
