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.

I've been going to an all girls school for 2 years now, it's great because I have so many nice friends. (I'm in middle school)There is no drama and everyone is friends. I still keep in touch from people from my old co-ed school and all they talk about is their boyfriends and having their first kiss etc... I'm getting REALLY sad now because I haven't had a relationship and everyone has boyfriends and I really want one. Except... there is nowhere to meet anyone. I get really sad sometimes just listening to my best friend talk about her "great boyfriend". How can I get over this? Thanks!




Dont worry about boys yet hon! I had my first boyfriend in my junior year of high school. You dont need one in middle school. You should be focusing on making friends and doing well in school. You have plenty of time to get a boyfriend. xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD URGENT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A RESPONSE FOR THREE DAYS!!! SOMETHING IS WORONG WITH MY POSTING!
hey, I really like m bgf but I'm totally ok with just being friends. He is easy to talk to and I've known him since we were 8 (I'm 13) we used to be next door neighbors but I moved down the street to a bigger house and we kinda lost touch. I text him every once in awhile and see him on the bus. But how do I get back in touch? I'm also thinking of inviting him to go hang out in town (a place where we live with a bunch of shops where everyone hangs out) is it too soon or will he think it's a date? What should I do?
Thanks (I hope this post because my other one didn't)

Hey babe, 

You should definitely ask your BGF to hang out with a group of your friends! Keep it friendly at first, then ask your BGF to hang out alone as you get closer. Good luck! xoxox

So I'm not totally tom-boy, but I hate make-up, refuse to waer a dress, and would rather spend my weekend playing or watching sports than pait my nails. My friend even told me today, "You need some guy friends". The only problem is all the guys at my school suck. The closest I have ever come to having a guy friend is one who was one who was a year older and played sax in band with me, and all we did was talk for a week while being camp counselors. There is one boy my age who might work. He goes to my school and his dad works for my dad. We have company things once a year where we get to hang out, but. . . All I know about him is he has three sisters, he was on the volleyball team, and he's going to the same high school as me. How can I get him to be my friend?
