I am sorry, but I myself am a social dummy, so even if I would give you advice that is not fairly obvious, I would not recommend you to take it to heart.
However, the 'finding someone with the same hobbies' thing is a good one, I can tell you that. If you are a shy and silent person, go talk to someone who is shy and silent themselves, for instance. It worked for me! =P

A lot of friends I met were basically shoe-ins. I never tried to start a conversation with someone here at ZV, I just let myself absorb slowly into their world. Before I left high school, there was hardly any people that didn't know my name. I never went to sports, extra activities, and such, but I was known for just being me. I didn't do much, but the fact I do the right things when it counts is how I made friends.
What I would do, though, is sit in on a conversation you know something about. Or if you find a group of people who, say, play Duel Monsters, bring your cards with you one day and challenge one of 'em to a duel. That's how I met a few friends of mine (and an excellent artist who knew the Yu-Gi-Oh anime art style by heart, I managed to cut close to his work twice. Tristan and Yami Bakura I drew... Though I never finished Bakura.) and made friends with someone who was referred to as a general ***hole.
I don't know how I myself make friends, but it's not often if ever that I make an enemy. And if I do, they aren't enemies forever.
