You know, you just click with somebody and you know it the moment you meet them. I'd like to improve my clicking rate, currently I've maybe met less than ten persons who've I've clicked with in 25 years. It feels low to me.

I don't think that's low.
People that you can click with instantly are VERY rare. I think the mistake you're making is assuming that somebody who doesn't 'click' has no potential to be an interesting friend.
I've met a lot of people whom I thought were completely boring at first, and I later find out that they're pretty cool. Often it's years after I meet them. If you dismiss somebody as 'lame' right off the bat, you will never know.
Throw out first impressions. They are deceptive. A first impression is just a snapshot out of that person's entire life. It's a drop in the bucket; it represents a miniscule amount of their whole personality. I'm thinking that you are being too judgemental with people. And it's your loss.

Aha... Too much thinking. You'll have to take my word for this at first, but you'll discover it later: most thinking is unneccesary and destructive. Most thinking consists of inaccurate judgements about people and situations. Luckily you can learn to empty your mind of most of these thoughts.
If you haven't already, experiment with meditation.
