[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key is not the specific activity, it is what you do at that activity. 1) Introduce yourself to the people around you. 2) Next time you see them, say hi, repeat your name, and ask a small talk question. "Hi Jane, I'm Larla, we were next to each other last class too. How are you faring with the snow?" 3) After you have had a few of these small talk conversations with someone, ask if they want to grab lunch/coffee after class. [/quote] +1 After you have talked a few times, you could also ask someone if they want to walk / hike after school drop off or on a Saturday morning. This is big in my neighborhood. Or set up a playdate for the kids and invite the parent in for coffee. It also takes time. I moved somewhere new and it took a year to start to make friends. [/quote]
