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.

My friend told me that one of the guys in my class was going out with a girl, but he didn't really like her and was going to break up with her for me. (I'm not friends with his gf, but she makes bad choices:/) She said that he wasn't going to break up with her unless I said "yes" to going out with him so he doesn't have to face the word "No." He's super sweet and nice, and idk why he even went out with her in the first place...I kind of like him and we do have some stuff in common and were friends...I said yes...was that a bad decision? My parents would never allow dating..I'm planning on keeping this a secret...HELP please! thanks




Well maybe you two can talk and get to know each other for now. Give it a chance and see what happens. As for the dating thing, you might not be able to go on solo dates. Maybe only group dates. Good luck! xoxo kerra

I have a guy friend and i like him and he likes me and whenever I hang out with him and his friends, his friends always say stuff like "So when are you guys going to make out?" or "You guys are destined to be married". Whenever they say something like that it makes me feel a little uncomfortable and I think it makes him uncomfortable too just by the look of his face. Should I stay away from him and his friends so they would stop? What should I do?




Maybe next time they say something ask them to stop. It may not work. But its worth a try. Also just try to ignore it, because im sure you want to hang out with your crush. It may be annoying, but if you ignore them eventually theyll stop. xoxo kerra

I like one of my BGFs, and some of my BFFs and a couple close guy friends like he likes me. He flirts with me all the time and always sits with me. At the football game, he hugged me for at least 3mins. He knows I like him, but do you think he could like me? We sit in almost every class together, so we talk a lot.




I think he might. Keep flirting and see if it goes somewhere! xoxo kerra
