I've had two periods in my life in which I made a couple of friends in a relatively short time, and in both periods it was because the 'first' friend I got to know knew a lot of people and introduced me to them. Some of them knew other people and I got to know them as well. Before I knew it I got invited to all parties and birthdays and events and so on. I consider only 3 of them as real friends, but who has time for more friends.. Getting to know people through others seems to be more natural because you won't be treated or feel like a complete stranger and there are no expectations in the beginning. Plus, later on you can hang out all together from time to time. My advise to you would be; try to get to know someone who knows many people and that you really connect with and who's in a 'scene' that you feel comfortable with. If you really connect with that one person then chances are that you will also connect with more people from that group.

And what I've also learned is that there are more people looking for friends than you'd think. So even if you feel like you have some strong connection with your hairdresser, then just invite him/her over for a drink or party or whatever. Come to think of it, all the time I spend on the internet looking for friends didn't do me any good. For some reason internet has worked for me to find partners and sex partners, but never to find real friends.
