Well, it is not like you go to a store and pick one out.
Making friends, isn't exactly easy. "I want the one with the blue eyes, who strokes my ego and likes Sushi!"
Strangers become people you know.
People you know become aquaintences.
Aquaintences become people you hang out with.
People you hang out with become friends.
Your step process might be different, but I do not know many people who pick a stranger out of a crowd, annouce that they are going to be friends and start like that. I'd be a bit leary of either person who was that accepting, or needy.
