You know, I don't smile either, not unless I'm actually interacting with someone. If I'm walking along, as soon as I say "Hi" to someone, I will smile, or if they say "Hi" to me. But the rest of the time, I'm sure I look sad--in the past, people have told me that I do. Or if I'm concentrating, I look angry (I'm told).

I think that's one thing I love about online forums, I don't have to worry that my sad face or scowl will turn people off.

I think the younger you are, the easier it is to make new friends because people get set in their ways as they get older, and they get used to the friends they have and have a rhythm with them, so to speak, and are not usually looking for more friends.
