i have a really hard time meeting people. and when i do meet someone, i don't leave a good impression. they either forget who i am or they don't like me. is there any way to make better first impressions?

karie28 answered Sunday May 21 2006, 2:06 am: The easiest way to get friends is through SMILING. A lot. When you smile at people, they'll think that you are approachable and friendly.
Then, strike up a conversation. Being a good conversationalist takes quite some time but you can definitely learn how to be one! I know it's a cliche but having self confidence really helps. Practice having a nice and sensible conversation with a close friend first, if you want. Then start doing this with other people. Being a good conversationalist also means being a good listener. Listen to what the other person has to say and avoid interrupting the person when he/she is speaking. The rule is to listen as much as you speak.
I hope I helped you a lil' bit! ;)
Have fun creating new friends! [ karie28's advice column | Ask karie28 A Question ]
