How to align/set/put/style two div next to each other-Twitter bootstrap

I have some problem with my CSS and HTML. I can’t style the 2 footer items to be on the same line. Is there something wrong with how I have my divs and styles?

Suggestion to make better code is very welcome. I have tried float, inline-block.

/*footer*/
footer {
  color:white;
  background-color: #c2b180;
}
.button-social {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
    padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 16px;
    margin: 4px 2px;
    cursor: pointer;
}
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}
.sameline.block {
  float:left;
  width:50%;
}
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<footer>
  <div class="sameline.block">
  <div class="about-this-page">
      <h3>About this page</h3>
      <p>Made by Duy Ta</p>
  </div>
    <div class="around-the-web">
      <h3>Around the Web</h3>
       <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a>
       <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-github"></i></a>
       <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>
  </div>
  </div>

    Use flexbox on your container .sameline-block. You can then add margin and/or padding and other styles to your flex children .about-this-page and .around-the-web.

    /*footer*/
footer {
  color:white;
  background-color: #c2b180;
}
.button-social {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
    padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 16px;
    margin: 4px 2px;
    cursor: pointer;
}
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}
.sameline-block {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<footer>
  <div class="sameline-block">
    <div class="about-this-page">
        <h3>About this page</h3>
        <p>Made by Duy Ta</p>
    </div>
     <div class="around-the-web">
        <h3>Around the Web</h3>
         <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a>
         <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-github"></i></a>
         <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>

    You have to specify float for right elements also

    #footer-below {float: right; width: 50%;}

    A class name can’t contain a dot.

    So change it to for example samelineblock

    Then select the divs that are a direct child of that element and give them an inline-block.

    You can adjust the width by setting it.

    /*footer*/

footer {
  color: white;
  background-color: #c2b180;
}

.button-social {
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
  text-align: center;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 16px;
  margin: 4px 2px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

.samelineblock>div {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 40%;
}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<footer>
  <div class="samelineblock">
    <div class="about-this-page">
      <h3>About this page</h3>
      <p>Made by Duy Ta</p>
    </div>
    <div class="around-the-web">
      <h3>Around the Web</h3>
      <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a>
      <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-github"></i></a>
      <a class="button-social" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div id="footer-below">qlip ©
    <script>

    First of all don’t use dots to name the classes. Then in order to set two elements side by side you need to set their float to left, not the container.
    So in your example rename sameline.block to samelineblock and replace

    .sameline.block {
  float: left;
  width: 50%;
}

    with

    .samelineblock > div {
  float: left;
  width: 50%;
}

    Try using below code in your css.

    .samelineblock .about-this-page,.samelineblock .around-the-web {
    display: inline-block;
    padding:0 30px 0 0;
    }
