Museums
A visit to museum can be a great way to meet people who share your taste. For example, you might be looking at a statue and musing to yourself about the fine piece of art when someone might come up and start talking to you about it. You won’t even have to find topics to converse in as you already have found a common topic: arts and statues.
Summer camp
Summer camp involves lots of activities and you also meet so many new people there. If you want to make friends during the Summer there then the first rule is to smile. If you are rude and sulky then no one would strike a conversation with you. So, just smile and say hi to the person you like the most. Or if you are in some activity like painting then just ask the person next to you for a crayon and strike up a conversation. So simple!
Go shopping
Shopping in the cool mall is quite relaxing during summer. If you love shopping then it might turn out to be the place where you can make many new friends. Strike up a conversation with a person you want to be friends with by complementing the dress he/she has chosen. Or you can suggest some accessory to go with the outfit they are wearing and soon both of you will find ample things to talk about your favorite hobby: shopping.
Visit a pool
Relaxing around a pool is the most appealing option for everyone during the summer. Also, you can meet so many new people if you go to a public swimming pool or beach. Lounge in the shade while sipping your drink and strike a relaxing conversation with the person next to you. Start it either by simply smiling or asking what that person is drinking or in any other way.
