2) "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."
3) "Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering."
If you want to make friends and to actually make people like you then you have to be interested in them. Friends don't just come like that, you have to get to know them and then make sure to trust each other. If you want people to like you then you have to be interested in making friends. People want to know other people who are a good person and a positive one as well. You won't get any interest if you are a bad person who likes to do bad things all the time. If you are looking for friend then go and find one be interested and other people will interested in you.
Rule 2: Smile
1) "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you."
2) "You don't feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile."

3) " It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends."
An easy way to make people like you and to want people to like you then all you have to do is smile. When you smile you show that you are happy and a positive person. People does not like other people who are bad mean and negative that is just the opposite. If you want to become that person who has lots of friends then you have to show them that you are a good person who is not up to bad things. When you smile or when you make a person smile it indicates that you or that person are happy. If you don't feel like smiling then find something to smile for and it will change everything. Its better to have a smile then not have one.
Rule 3: Remember names
1) "A mans name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
2) "If you sont remember names, you are heaeded for trouble."
When trying to make friend it is very good to remember there names because that shows interest in
them. If you dont remember names of the people who you meet then they wont be interested. For example if you meet some one you always say your name to them so they can know who you are. But if you forget then those people that you met will be forgotten friends.:
Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
1) "If you aspire to be good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."
2) "Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems.
It is good to be a good listener because you are acually paying attention to what the other person is saying. When you listen that gives the person a sign that they are not talking to themselves. That they are actually talking to someone who cares. That is what we want, we want people who care about what other people have to say.
Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other mans interest
"The royal to a mans heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."
If you want to make friends or make people interested in you then talk about what they arenterested.Its easier to get someone to talk to you if you talk about they like, for example if that person likes to play video games then talk to him about video games and thats how you will start a good conversation with that person. In my opinion it can be difficult if you dont now what the person likes because then you wont know what to talk about with the person.
Rule 6: Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely
" The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey)" Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."
If you want people to be interested in you then you have to be interested in them. By that i mean that you have to make the other person feel important and that they actually mean something to you. When you do this you imediatley show the person that you are interested and that you are trying to make friends. It is a sign to the people that you are trying to know, why because you are showing your interest to them which make them interested on you.
