Hey guys what are some tricks and tips when trying to make friends in 2025?

Like going from the talking stage to the friend stage. I can easily get peoples numbers or Instagram's.

Like one time I went up to a girl and we spoke for 4 minutes or so and it felt like it was much longer and she gave me her Insta but then never replied to my messages until 2 months later but I had felt like we vibed a lot.

Also, I have gotten some dudes phone numbers from the gym to party or make friends but it never goes further than just getting numbers 90 percent of the time.

If there is any info you can give me, I'd appreciate it.
