Yes ferrets are social animals and as you should keep two as they're very active and a play mate will drain their energy
There's no way of guaranteeing that one ferret will like another ferret. However, there are certain steps that will make it more likely.
Introduce the new ferret through the bars of the existing ferret's cage - let them sniff one another. If you have two cages, keep the new ferret in a separate cage for a few days, then swap the bedding in each cage with the bedding from the other - this almost always works.
Each ferret has it's own personality (and whether they have been altered) - Baby ferrets take to other ferrets very easily, older ferrets that have never been around other ferrets - it may take time for them to adjust, some may never accept another ferret. Ferrets that have not been altered (or fixed, neutered, spayed) when in season or heat, the males will fight.

Is a ferret okay without another ferret?
Ferrets can be okay by themselves - as long as they have plenty attention from humans and plenty of time out of their cage. My ferret is an only ferret after his cagemate died of old age at 9 years. I do not cage him, letting him free roam in a ferret proof bedroom, and I play with him a lot as he does demand my attention. If your ferret is going to be alone if you are away from home frequently, like for a job or school, then another ferret would be needed for companionship.
