How I did it: I simply initiated some hanging out with people, got out of my house and went and experienced the little bit of city life that I have in my town and then took friends there to hang out with.

Lessons & tips: Don't be annoying, but talk to people. Being timid is probably the worst thing you can be in this situation. You'll only meet people and get to know them if you interact with them. Never act like someone you're not. Be yourself and don't hide who you are. If you want to know people better and spend time with them then let them know who you are. If they think that you're someone you're not, then whenever you're with them you'll be doing things that your portrayed self wants to do and not nesisarily what you want to do.

Resources: Drivers License, Car and Cell phone. Cash can be helpful, but you don't have to spend money to hang with people.
