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 was wondering, what are some ways to make new friends outside of school? Because right now many of my besties moved and I have very few friends. I am a very outgoing and confident person and I love to smile and laugh and I am genuinly kind but I don't get how I can not make friends. None of my besties are in my class and I mostly sit alone and I walk to school alone. So, I decided to look at it another way, maybe if I made some friends outside of school, I can have some girls to hang out with but it's impossible! I tried volunteering but positions are full and I am thinking of going to the YMCA, any other ways to make friends. And I sometimes have people to talk to, but I am very boring, I don't know what to say and I am scared of saying something stupid or not being confident enough, it gets really akward. HELP!




Hey girl! 

I'm sorry you're stuck in this sitch. One thing to do is start participating in an out of school activity - whether that's recreational sports, horseback riding, taking an art class, whatever. And you're not boring - whatever is normal for you is interesting to new people! Don't be scared of saying something stupid - if you do, make a joke about it, laugh, and move on. People will love that. Good luck! xoxox
