Friends

[pmm98]

So I think it's safe to say that making friends can sometimes be a difficult process, depending on the person;

I have a decent amount of friends, almost all of them girls. Just to keep things clear: I'm a 14 year old, STRAIGHT, male.

I personally think the reason why I don't have that many guy friends is because I have nothing that I can relate to them with. I can't relate to the jock types because I don't care for sports. I'm not into cars, so I can't relate to those people. I'm not a thug, so I can't relate to that crowd either. I'm pretty much a neutral guy, I just go with the flow and do what I feel. My mom always asks me why she doesn't ever see me hanging out with guys and it annoys me because I already am aware that I have little guy friends, because of the formentioned reason, and she makes it seem like there is something wrong with me because I don't have that many guy friends. I make an occasional, really close guy friend that is just chillin like me and has no set topic that has to be discussed. They're just neutral, like me. For some reason though, we always end up parting ways and end up not talking.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can become closer with more guys?

I think your problem is that you want to find a reason to connect with someone. Be a little more outgoing and try to fun somebody that doesn't seem to fit in with a particular "grouping". I've made friends not having much in common, except that we met though another friend. Tht may also work.

i know how you feel, i have about 3 good friends who are girls, and the rest of the people who like me, are mostly girls. if you can, try to find a sport you enjoy. try getting into video games. try going to a youth center, such as boys and girls club.

I think like foamy said that your main idea is you are trying to connect with a crowd biased on their status where as quite often those people have a status but they talk or do a lot more things than just that.

I have always said finding a common interest is the way to go, so what are you interested in? What is your hobbies? What do you like to do? Cause if you can answer that, then you shall know what to look for in a friend.

You could also take a look at this guide to making friends (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25633) it is very informative and gives a lot of useful tips.

I agree, what are your interests? You mentioned nothing of music, so could that be something that you could bond with someone about? Or have you tried acting/singing? Theatre and choir groups are a great place to meet people! Everyone is usually very very open and happy to make new friends!

Lol that sounds just like me, the only way i could talk sports was if i did some research. 'specially football.. Learning to talk to guys that DONT play video games(from experience i've learned video gamers are not good close guy friends) is like learning a new language :P its quite tough.
The only advice i can give is make conversation with guys you think would make good friends.. Good luck!!
