So your much closer then you think. The people you say “heh” to must be familiar to you. “You” need to take that next step. Everyone is looking to meet someone new and start a friendship with. It’s not just you. Go that extra mile. I usually say, say hi to one person a day. Great your doing that. Now the next step is… "Heh, I have been meaning to ask you, would you like to hang out sometime? Would you like to go to lunch? Would you like to study together? Would you like to do coffee? I don’t really know many people here so would you like to do something later? Let’s go to the game next week…
Etc etc etc. Even someone in your classes. Hi, my name is Sue. What do you think of this class? So, I don’t know many people here since school just started. Would you like to go to lunch if your free after this class?
Follow through!
Also join activities and clubs that you want to learn something new about (take chances) or something you love to do. My daughter tried square dancing… Never really did it before and it was a riot! Met people also. She joined as stated a hiking group and they went on a weekend trip together. She knew no one but came away with people she does stuff with. She joined a boating house that rents kayaks etc. Met people there. She has a job in a local coffee shop and meets tons of students that way.
My sons first roommate was like your. Nice guy but he hung out with his high school buddies and didn’t really invite my son. I wish my son would of been bold and just say “heh, I don’t know anyone here can I join you with your friends tonight” It’s hard to do I know.
Look at Facebook for your college for things to do.
It’s early in the game. Things will get better. Usually study groups are posted
Join one even if you don’t need it! Great way to meet people plus it might help you in your classes.
My son did do a meet up group also but started a club that has taken off
So those kids are his peeps.
