How to make friends 101*, online and off:

1. Ask people questions about themselves. Respond to their replies.
2. Remember things about them. Ask follow up questions later.
3. Establish points of common interest. Talk about those interests.
4. Start to plan to hang out together e.g. let's go have coffee, or let's chat at this time.
5. Note if they do the same for you over a period of time. If they do, they're a keeper.

Ta da!

*Note that none of these instructions are 'Be aggressively interesting. Wait for friends to surround you, like moths to a flame.' No matter how interesting you are, no one is going to want to stick around unless you're interested in them as well**

**Unless what you really want is adoring fans rather than actual friends. In which case, you need to be powerful and interesting - ever considering becoming a BNF?

... and what if you do 1, 2, and 3 and get treated as if you're invisible? ` Especially 3 (and I'm not talking about swaggering in and being all "Well, I'm here now!" in a discussion, I mean repeatedly making small attempts to join in conversations over a period of months and being entirely ignored. )

There are fandoms I'm almost literally bursting to talk about with someone, and I've given up hope that I'll ever find any place to do so.
