    suggestions?
    Look for people with the same interests. What do you like to do? Do you
    enjoy sports? Join a sports team or a running club. Do you read a lot?
    Find a book club in your neighborhood. You can always find clubs on
    the Internet. Also, don't be shy at work or school. Smile and say, "Hi.
    How's it going?" to three people tomorrow.
    Niki: I feel shy around new people. How can I improve my
    conversation skills?
    Always have a list of questions ready for conversations with people you
    don't know. For example, ask general questions like, "Do you come
    here a lot?" or "Do you live around here?" Be sure to listen to the
    answers and ask follow up questions, too. You can also talk about
    things like the weather, for example, "It's cold tonight." Make eye
    contact and say, "Yes," "Hmm," "Uh-huh," "Right," and "I know." And
    smile! Everyone loves a smile, so just relax and be yourself.
