it would be nice, but people that spend a lot of time online seem to prefer to talk to the people they already know, and find everyone else to be "annoying" especially if you "out-funny" them or something else really childish.

you just have to start talking to them, people are really nicer than they look sometimes. so just start a conversation and get to know who you want. They should warm up to you and see how cool you can be real soon

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.

Practice! Practice LISTENING to people and really hearing what they say. Seem very interested. Most people really want to talk, so be a wonderful listener.

Just learn how to ask people about themselves and when they answer be a very good listener and show interest in what they are saying.  People will think you are a great friend and a great person.  It's amazing what will happen.  You will become the most popular person in the group.

You need to open yourself up. Say what you feel (as long as it's appropriate), and be confident. Really listen to people and try to establish common ground. Ask questions to get to know people on a more personal basis- like where they grew up, their career choice, their opinions about whatever. Stay in contact w/ people and don't be silent or bored- have fun.

if your not from that country, then you better first learn about their calture. ask a close friend how do they meet and what's important for them, if you don't want to make a mistake.

Yahoo groups is the best way that I know how. That's how I met with most of mine anyways. Name of the game is to stay actived with them in those groups so they get to know you.

This is a great question, because the more thought you put into your communications with those you meet online, the better success you'll have. Try some of these:\n\nView their picture then find something to ask a question about - "I really like that tie in your photo, where did you get it?"\n\n"What's the coolest place you've ever travelled to?"\n\n"What place, that you haven't seen yet, would be #1 on your 'must travel' list?"\n\n"What character in a movie can you most relate to and why?"\n\n"Have you ever been to (insert neat local place here)?"\n\n"What's the most embarrasing thing that's ever happened to you?"\n\nGood luck and, again, great question!

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.\n

Ask someone in your country

Why do you care? And how do you think that people from your part of the world, will look at this one (the question that pertains to them), out of millions of questions? You should have put your city and state name as the question. Then people from there would have been more likely to find this question, even then the probability is small. And if you want to get to know people from your hometown, try some extracurricular activities.
