i’m a 16(f) and i recently joined art club at my school to make some new friends. i haven’t really talked to anyone at art club because it’s not really structured and everyone does their own thing. i’m planning to try and make friends with these two girls who normally sit together. i’m not really awkward but i’m trying to do things out of my comfort zone. i really enjoy listening to music so maybe i can ask them what music they listen to? i don’t want to come off as forced or seem like a creep.

To start a conversation you can always start with a compliment? Comment on someone’s art, say what you like about it and ask them questions on it. People love to talk about things they like so it’s a good in. Then just let the conversation flow from there
Ask open-ended questions. Like something that will get more than a “yes” “no” “thank you”. Get people to engage in a convo.
Basic questions like “what do you do for fun?” And you can find you have/don’t have common interests. Even if you don’t you can try to get involved in something and say “never done it but I definitely would want to!”
