Since you are not even in the USA, dont write the op off. Alot of people i know who travelled out to America didnt find it funny as regards having friends and all except you have an extended family over there who you relate with very well. Life there is obviously different from here likewise the people and their lifestyle. If you are the type that is the extrovert type over here may not find it easy at first over there as you will find it boring but this will improve with time.

Better by PS4 and some games and start playing it. Oyinbo no get time for anybody. You can be living with an American and staying in the same apartment and the only thing you will hear from him in two years is "Hi" or "Can I have your part of the gas bill?" It's called culture shock bro. I live in a white dominated area so I know what you're talking about. Be friendly with those that are friendly with you. If you're a Christian join a church. No matter what you do, you will in the end come in terms with the fact that many of them are not that friendly (atleast in the Naija kind of way). They keep to themselves a lot.

Best way to bond with people to build close friendships is joining volunteer activities or getting a serious hobby with social aspect. I moved to different cities/states for work and made a social circle and good friends via book clubs, Star Trek and Harry Potter fan clubs, volunteer activities. Go do some charity work, that's a great way to meet new friends and good karma.

Go to meetup.com and search for hobby and activity groups in your city, it's a free site and there is a meetup for every hobby and interest, unless you live in a small city you should be able to find something.

First off, USA is not a country "so dominated by whites" as you made it look like. Matter-of-factly, it's a home for all people of the world. If you find it difficult making friends over there, I just wonder what manner of man you are putting into consideration the high number of blacks we have over there.Identify with your people just like you do at home.Most whites come across to be snobbish and I assume you aren't expecting an embracing attitude from them. Attend social functions, get talking with people...you would make friends eventually..not forgetting that people don't warm up to strangers that easily. True and valuable friendship isn't made in a day. I believe your main purpose of travelling to US cant just be to make friends? Don't you have friends before? It doesn't make sense to me. There are other profitable ventures you can commit yourself into other than mere making of friends.

Hey Nairalanders,

I have been in the US for some months now and I am in a white dominated state still figuring out the culture and way of life et al. I need help in making friends with these folks here because it’s a very different lifestyle from home.

Please for those who have experience and are living or have lived in the US, how do I make friends here? Thank you very much

Fact is the U.S. is a melting pot of different ethnic and racial groups. But fact is the country is predominately white. And unless u are living in NY, LA or big cities that attract different groups, diversity is a very real reality. In my state white are 80% of the population. He can still make friends tho and I agree with your other statements.
