I have to disagree. I think that the fact that he doesnt fit it is at least partly because he doesnt comprimise. I have been on both ends of this, and I'd say that if you know yourself there is no way you cant have friends that are different from yourself.... I mean, thats half the reason to have friends is to build a social network that supports you but can enhance your life (i.e. by exposing you to different things).
Well, i'll say that the guys discussing dancing are on target. The learning part takes guts and its great for confidence... but its more important to realize that an awful lot of college-aged kids (and more importantly, women) go out to clubs to have fun and dance. And from my experience, the vast majority has no real dancing talent -- but its tons of fun anyway.
Thus, one great way to meet people and to get to know the people you see at school is to GO OUT! Its kind of a leap from doing nothing on weekends to going out once or twice, but by at least putting yourself in a social situation like that, its easy to pick up on social skills. and the way i see it, everyone at least knows one person who knows a girl or has a girlfriend.... make them go out with you, 'cause by far the easiest way to meet people is to know a girl.
