I've made something like 5 long term friends over my years of attending cons. Plenty more people who I just hung out with for the con weekend and never saw again. I don't get all these anons who say It's impossible to make friends at cons. The trick is you gotta be the one to make the first move and you're gonna have to deal with the fact some people will reject your offer to hang out, but just move on. I usually ask someone for a picture and then try to make some small talk with them and if they seem receptive ask if they'd like to hang. Or I'll go to a photoshoot for the series I'm currently cosplaying from and just chat up the people there, you'll find people tend to be a lot more receptive than you think. Even if you get rejected, just shrug it off and move on.
