Dear Lucky: Friends With the Popular Girls?

Dear Lucky,

I’ve been trying to make friends with the popular girls, but I’m really shy. 

What’s the best way to approach them?

It’s great to make new friends…but for the right reasons—not just because they’re popular. So assuming you genuinely dig these girls, here’s the scoop: Instead of approaching the whole crew at once, strike up one-on-one conversations—at your lockers, in the lunch line or in gym class.


Initiate chit-chat about Professor Yawn’s sleep-inducing tirades on Civil War cannons, or something like, “Oh, super. Meatloaf on the cafeteria menu…again.” If she laughs or pipes in, consider the ice broken. And don’t forget to smile!

let me just say this, I am not trying to judge you but if people are catargorizing saying popular, and unpopular they aren't really nice at all.

MOD MOD MOD!!!! please! okay, my friends are the "popular" girls. i really dont think im all that popular. they are good friends and they are like me. I feel like i hide my real self in school. When i'm home, im fun and always happy(: but when im in school, i become reserved and quieter than my other friends. I really REALLY do not think that is because they are popular because i was even more reserved with my old friends. I don't get it. I really really want to be my real self around my friends. And hopefully they would be okay with that. PLEASE help!

Hey, that is a great move. You should always be your true self. I bet your friends will still love you, maybe even more since you will not be holding anything back.

being popular isnt as great as it sounds... yes me nd mi freinds r tha "preps" or 'populars". jus becuz we r tha populars, ppl assume we r stuck up. for real actuallly, my frianns nd i r tha funnest most non stuck up ppl ive met. shure it miight be grate getn all tha "guys" or gettin so much attention. but a lot of drama cums wit tha mess of being in tha main social group. girls threaten to beat us up nd call us tha s word just becuz guys like us.... and btw if ur trying to b franns wit them jus cuz their popular, they can tell. it gets annoying. but if u relly llike them for who they r, find sum common ground w/ them. possibly shopping woud be great fun. or a movie night.
