When you talk to someone (girl or guy) tell them that you are new here, and you just came here from (where ever).  Ask where the best places  are to eat, shop, hang out.  And, be yourself, Americans are really nice to foreigners if you are open and kind.  If you're snotty about where you are from and brag about how your country is better than the USA, then that will annoy people.\n\nA simple approach is "Hi!  I'm _____! Who are you?"  And take it from there.   ALways smile and be happy, everyone likes a friendly approachable person!\n\nGood luck, and welcome!  Hope you have fun here!\n\nPS- watch out for some of the guys, like anywhere, they all just want to get down your pants!

Just like you would make new friends in school. \nBe approachable,\nBe friendly-say hello to your neighbours.\nAs you go to the gym/pub get to know people-introduce yourself. \nIn time you will have many aquaintances and maybe a few friends from those interactions.

British people are oddly formal about making friends - they probably won't talk to you unless you've been introduced to them by someone else. \n\nMaking friends therefore requires having friends - or at least aquaintances - a tricky catch-22 if you've just moved to the UK.\n\nLots of UK socialising revolves around that very British institution, the pub. Alcohol is a great liberator. If you're planning to work, you might find yourself invited to the pub by workmates, and this would be a good opportunity to start meeting people.\n\nIf you have specific interests, this is also a good way to meet people. There are lots of sports clubs, events and societies in and around Essex. \n\nThere is also a UK South African Society http://www.saclub.com/ - this might be a good way to meet people with which you have things in common. Once you make friends there, they will surely introduce you some of their UK friends, and then you'll be off...

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask simple friendly questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice. \n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker. \n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.

Dude,  people are always going to be rude when they are faceless masses esp. if your English is bad or you show no individuality in your style of entering and questioning. \nDon't let it bother you, it's no personal offence, they don;t even know you! Be patient and learn from others mails and entries. What would you like to read and what do you skip over?

I am not sure, but do you mean, another culture? \n\nThe person will appreciate it a lot if you dont make them feel like they are "different" or make them feel left out. Show interest in their culture, and ask them questions about it. Like how long they have been in the country, where their family is etc. Just show ur curiosity basically.\n\nAlso, another nice thing would be that if you going out somewhere with your other friend (or even alone) ask the person to join you! They will truly appreciate you and will go home smiling.

I'm from there, be alert from cheaters especially when they see foreigners. Also be aware of pick picketers in the crowd. Other than that peoples are friendly and helpful over there. But use your own judgment. Good luck.
