My guinea pig isnt very loving. what can i do to make her more friendly?

Shes less than a year old. I got her in april.
Answers:
Put a folded towel on your lap and let her hang out for long periods o time, giving her some veggie treats Most of them bond to their human friend.. The webs below are great for keeping your piggie healthy. Piggies aren't cuddley like dogs and cats. They don't mind being held but don't like to be handled a lot.
She just needs to warm up a bit more. Stroke her gently in her cage, and offer her treats. (Lettuce and the such, and my guinea pig loves grapes). Soon she might come to the front of the cage when you arrive, ready for more. You can start picking her up tenderly, putting your hand under her chest and hand supporting her rump, find a nice quiet place, and give her more treats. Keep repeating and she'll look foward to being picked up, and hopefully more friendly.
First feed your guinea pig by hand. and pet her. This helps them understand that you are a food provider. Bath the guinuea pig and use a brush to help dry her off.
Also floor time. This means that you need to let the little one run around and exersice outside of the cage.
Talk to your guinea pig.
When you hold it talk to it and hold it near your chest.
I am weird and i sing to my guinea pig. This helped though so I guess ya could do that. They are social animals and if you have a group of friends around taker her out and let them hold her or you can just hold her as you talk. I hope this helps you out.
Make guinea bacon.
Get a new one, hold %26 pet it more when it is very small.
its simple handle her twice a day for 10 minuets stroke her and feed her from your hand it works every time
Feed her treats like carrots or celery while you are holding her.
Interact with her more, like playing with her and stroking her fur. That is what I did with my rabbit, and now a can shake hands with her.
