<p>I just started at community college. Mines not as rush rush and impersonal as people would think. However there’s some people I want to make friends with because they seem similar to me and I don’t want to start or end my first conversation awkwardly. I’m a male and saying “omg hi nice to meet you whats your name” is too cheesy, feminine, and kinda formal to me. Any suggestions? </p>
<p>I was thinking before class (because we can’t enter the room until the teacher shows up – there’s no time for socializing in class) I would approach some people individually from my class. Does this sound ok: “Hey bro do you know what time it is?” and then introduce self? Problem is if they say no. Or maybe I could just say “Hows it going?” then they reply and I say “You’re in my ___ class right?” then introductions? I havent made new friends in a long time but I want to because all of mine are far away now.</p>
