You finally found some friends right? So what did you do after you made new friends? You probably already know some facts about them, but don't you think it is time to find out a little more about them? What kind of friends would you be if you don't know about each other? Here are some tips to know your friends.

[edit] Steps

Meet your friends at the mall. That's a good place to start. While shopping you can find out what their style is. If you're not the shopping types, you can just sit around and chat. Walk around the mall or eat at the food courts. Either way is a good strategy to get to know your friends.
Ask questions. The more questions you ask the more information you'll find out about them. It's the best way to get to know your friends a little more. Make a test or quiz that they can fill out.
Have a sleepover or a get together. It's another great way to find out more information about them! It is more fun to do also.
Chat on the Internet. If for some reason you can't meet your friends in person than get on a chatroom or a messenger. You can talk there all day if you would like to. It may not be as good as hanging out at the mall, but it is something.
Send letters! If you don't have Internet connection or have the ability to hang out try sending letters. It is a great pleasure to see a letter from your friends. You can write them back as much as you want. You can write without running out of room or out of breath.
Play the question game If one day you are bored like on AIM or just sitting in your bedroom with nothing to do play it! You just ask each other random questions about each other. (ie. Do you like to go on the computer more or watch tv? What's your favorite genre of music) Stuff like that will be sure to give you some facts about them.

[edit] Tips

Always listen to your friends when you're talking to them or else you might miss something important that you don't know about them.
Try to smile while talking to your friends. It will make them think that you are friendly as well.
If you're trying to get to know your friends you should talk less about yourself and more about each other.
Remember, communication is a great thing. Use it!
Ask more question just so it seems like that your interested in what they are talking about. You can find out even more information.
Don't argue too much!! If you find yourself fighting too much with your friend, its not working out.

[edit] Warnings

Don't over do it. Ask questions that your friends would like to answer.
Try not to take over their lives. I am pretty sure they have other things to do than to hang out with you everyday.
When writing letters try to write neat or your friends won't be able to read what you wrote. Type it if possible.
