3. Pay Attention to Your Body Language

The way we look and how we carry ourselves says a lot about how open we are to meeting new people. If your arms are crossed, and there’s a frown on your face, then everyone will know to stay away from you. If you’re glued to your cellphone or refusing to make eye contact with people, then you probably won’t leave the bar with any new friends either. But if you’re grinning from ear to ear and actively conversing with those around you, then you might find yourself with a new friend or two by the end of the night.
