we're here to learn languages, so if someone speaks the language i learn an learns the language i speak, then we could, mmm, learn... something new from each other and help each other to, well, learn languages... :)

Hi, I usually see if I have something in common with them, so then I can chat without awkward silences.

i never choose friends as long they have a good intension and willing to have good friends from the other country.i as remember someone said to me "never choose friends let them choose you as their friend for that they will now what kind of friend you are to them" cowboy...

someone who is friendly & trustworthy

Give them a chance, chat with them to find out.
