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!
Ok so I have this friend and he's really quiet and rarely ever expresses what he is feeling and I'm not sure but I think he may like me. Whenever I'm standing with a friend he comes up and says hi and then just stands there. And he's always like secretly smiling when I'm around. Also today I put my hand on a table to reach for something and he reached over and put his hand on top of mine and just kept it there but I quickly pulled away. Anyways I don't like him for anything more than a friend but I was just wondering. thx soo much!! Smile You guys are awesome!




Hey babe,

It definitely sounds possible! He goes out of his way to touch you, talk to you, and you make him happy. It's possible that he's just an awkward friend, but it sounds like he might be crushin' Smile

There's this guy. I don't like him and he's dating someone already but sometimes he says hi to me and gives me a hug but sometimes he completely ignores me. How can I get him to say hi to me or me say hi to him without looking like a dork when he doesn't respond? Thanks so much!




Hey girlie,

Just be friendly! It's ok to say hello to him and it's silly if he ignores you for no reason. So just be bold: when you see him, say "hey!" loud enough for him to hear, give a lil wave, and continue on your way. All you have to do is reach out to him without being too "desperate"/intense about it. But if he still goes back and forth like this, it's almost not worth trying to make him be consistent. This might just be his personality - a lil unpredictable!

Thanks for answering my first question, but now i have another one.
So i like this other guy and he just FBmsged me. he does that kinda often, nd he talks to me in school and stuff. So he msged me asking who i like? And when i asked why he said his mom asked him who he liked and he was thinking bout it. Does he like me???
Thank you sooo much!




Hey girlie,

Usually when guys ask you who you like, it's either one of their friends or him who likes ya. They rarely just ask outta the blue! So try talking to him a little more, having convos like this one where you talk about personal stuff/crush-related things, flirt, etc. Over time, just like with any guy situation, you'll get to know him and his feelings better!

So i told my friend, Kaitlyn, that i like this guy, Barstow. Then she accidentally told him that i like him. I'm not mad about that, but when she told him, apparently all he said was 'oh ok'. He doesnt act any different to me. Its not like i was good friends with him before, but i talked to him occasionally. He treats me the same. Also, he told this other boy, Quirin, that i like him. Do you think he likes me? I'm really confused.
Thanks! Smile




Hey girlie,

It's hard to tell just based on this if he really likes ya back or not. It's great that nothing changed between you though! Just based on what you told me, it sounds like he's a laid back kinda guy who sees you as a friend and isn't bothered by the fact that you have feelings for him. But to know whether he's crushin' too, you'll have to try a little harder. Talk to him a little more (not obsessively, but just gradually start talking more and more), flirt, and see if he's interested or if he tries to "get away." Then you'll have a better idea Smile
