How To make friends

I have made many friends in Einstein, in the last 6 years. Here, I am going to tell you how I make friends step by step.
First, I would step up to a person who is new to the school or looks cool. Then, I would go introduce myself. If they reply, it means they would atleast like to talk, if not they don't want to know me. Lets say that person replyed and said " Hi I am ....". After that, I would say if you would like to do anything at recess . If them want to play with you, it is a good sign. If you ride the bus togther, sit with them and find similarities between you and your friend.
The next day, ask them to play with you again. Then, investigate them, for example ask them personal questions like ... what is your favorite color? or what is your favorite food?...etc. If there is any similarities, this might be a good sign, you might find that you are slowly becoming friends at this stage. I would say that you wouldn't need my help from here on.
You know, there is no real way to make friends. Friendship is a life skill that should come naturally. So what is the use of reading this?
