Then, hopefully the individual will respond the right way to continue the conversation. If you don't know their name, buy the small cokes that say "share a coke with your BFF" and hand it to them and be like "I wanted to a share a coke with you since I'd like to be a friend of yours because you're cool."

You never have to be something that you are not to be accepted.
Your friends must love you for what you are, so if being yourself you get friends, friends that are worth preserving.

Tip #1:
Act NATURAL. When trying to make friends, act like yourself. Don't overly exaggerate something in order to receive attention, lest you become friends with someone that accepts the side of you acting a specific way, but not the real side of you. This can lead to extreme complications later.
Tip #2
Try to be loyal. When looking for a friend, someone looks for the qualities of trustworthy, loyal, and dependable. There are rules for becoming someone's friend. You must stick up for them at all times, no matter how daunted you might be. A friend is practically a piece of your own soul. Protect from evil at all times and help along the way. Be there for your friend when he/she needs you. Throw down anything you are doing, and rush to their side. In order to establish a stable relationship, you need to support your friend at always, anytime, anywhere. Become someone your friend can confide in. Don't be careless and spill secrets that have been passed on to you. Be a good listener, and sooner or later, people are bound to notice that you are friend material, and will ultimately become your friend.
Tip#3
STAY ALERT. Don't get close enough to someone for them to get attached to you, if you know that the person is someone that is a bully, mean, or likes to taunt others for their own amusement. If you have hopes of changing the person for the greater good, then be my best. But only if you have grown fond of that person. Everyone is different and unique in their own way. When in doubt, DON'T. If you know the person you will approach has already been seen pushing people out of his/her way, stay FAR away. If you know the person is alone, but for no reason, as in the person is a new student, invite them to your lunch table. Get to know the person, and you can quickly become friends with him/her.
