GUYS | DEAR CAROL

How to get guy friends


 
Sometimes, I wonder why I don’t have friends who are boys. Not a boyfriend, just friends who are boys. I just want a good guy friend to go to for support that girls sometimes can’t give me. How do you make friends who are guys.
 
Dear Guy Friends,
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “the only way to have a friend is to be one.” Guys are people, too. And they don’t just offer support but, like you, sometimes need support. To make friends, express interest. Ask, “How’d the game go?” or “Is your grandpa getting better?” or “Did you get the interview?” Next, be a good listener. If you say, “How was your weekend?” and he says “Coulda been better,” follow up with a sympathetic, “What do you mean?” Back and forth communication is the key to all friendships.

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!
I really like this boy and I'm pretty sure he likes me too. My mom says I'm allowed to date. My mom and dad are divorced so I see him every other weekend. I'm worried about having a BF. I feel like it's going to be insanely awkward to tell my dad because I don't think he wants me to have a BF. I live with my mom so there's really not anything he can do but I'm still worried. Also, I'm afraid that if I get a BF things between my mom and me are going to be weird and uncomfortable. Considering I wont really be 'her baby' anymore (even though I'm almost 14) I just need some advice. should i wait to get a BF? my mom says its good to get a BF around my age cuz then i can see what it's all about and be ready for possibly having a BF in high school. I just don't know what to do. I'm confused.

 

Hey chica, I think you should only have a bf if YOU are ready. Don't have one just to have one. If your mom says it's ok and you like a boy, then go for it. Things could only be weird between you and your mom if you make it that way. Having a bf doesn't mean you have to act differently. Just take it slow and see if this boy wants to be your bf and take it from there.
