How can a person open up and stop being so socially awkward when people what to make friends with her?

When a person is truly socially awkward it's often because of their past experiences with friends and the whole trust thing. It takes time to get people like that to open up to you, because most of the time it's a trust issue that makes them that way.
It's pretty much impossible for that person to stop being socially awkward though, I started trusting my mates quite a while ago and now we have some awesome times (mostly drunken ones :P) but even I'm still a bit skittish around new people.
So in answer to your question it just takes time and patience, as long as you show the person that you are their friend they will get around to opening up to you in their own time. Don't be too peppy and don't be too "blah". Try to be calm when helping someone become or make a friend.

Is it true that a socially awkward person can be more outgoing if they are friends with an outgoing person?
Nope. Not true in the slightest. The only way a socially awkward person can earn their way into outgoing awesomeness is through getting really wasted and sleeping with a cool kid. Answer A socially awkward person CAN become more outgoing if they are friends with an outgoing person because they can learn from the friend. However, if the friend it too outgoing, for example loud and obnoxious, it can stifle the socially awkward person. Usually when someone is socially awkward it is because they are shy or for some reason feel that they don't fit in or fear rejection in some form. If they hang around an outgoing person they can watch how people react to the outgoing person and see that most often they are accepted.

What does it mean for a person to be socially awkward and clumsy and is it unattractive?
To be "socially awkward" could mean a few things, but basically it includes anyone that does fit well into environments with other people. This may mean that they cannot talk to people because they are shy or get really nervous, which prevents them from being able to make conversation with strangers. It could also mean that they do not want to talk to others, such as loners or other antisocial people. Being socially awkward is not necessarily unattractive because sometimes it is not in the person's control, but people tend to gravitate toward people who are outgoing and the life of the party (the opposite of being socially awkward). What is unattractive is dealing with people who CHOOSE not to interact with others because they seem mean. Clumsy just means someone who is inclined to tripping, falling, dropping things, walking into stationary objects, etc... for example, ME! Lol. Hope this helped.

If a person is socially awkward and they meet an outgoing person will that outgoing friend make the awkward one more outgoing?
* It's very common for a more reserved person to have a partner that is more extroverted and yes, it's very possible that the reserved person will become more open with other people by learning from their partner, but, the reserved person will still never be as extroverted as their partner. Each individual has a different personality and if all people were the same it would be a very boring world.

What are examples of a person acting socially awkward?
Examples of a person that is socially awkward: when out with a group of people remaining quiet or staying in the shadows in hopes no one will ask questions of that individual; their manners are not up to par and they fear they will offend someone; they don't know how to dance or react to their own age group. With some young people shyness can be a problem, but as time goes on and they have more experience most of the shyness will leave and they will be able to converse in all aspects of society, but, while some awkward people may become self assured and are extroverted other individuals will lose their shyness, but be the quiet type. We are all different personalities and some people just don't like being the center of attention. People who feel awkward can join a theater group or a group for Public Speaking where they will learn tools to deal with the awkwardness.
