Hanging out with opposite sex weird?

[Polo2847]

Does anyone else find that hanging out with a person that's opposite sex a bit weird and date-ish especially if you like them? I can go to the movies with my best friend fine because i don't see her as a partner, but if I asked a person I liked, I'd get nervous. EVEN if I try to view her from a friend's pov so that it would seem less awkward. Maybe it's just the hormones?

No, I don't feel like that at all. The majority of my friends are males and it hardly ever gets awkward unless one of us makes it awkward.

I think you might just be shy. I used to feel awkward around girls in one-on-one situations, but I got more comfortable with it when I realized they're almost like normal people (lol). You just need to have more confidence (or pretend to have confidence) and talk to girls more often so you get used to it and it becomes natural.

It's only weird if you make it that way. Every single one of my best friends is a boy, and it has never bothered me. We all have different relationships too. I'm marrying one of them, one of them practically lives at my house, and the other three and I are always going bowling or to the movies or out to eat or whatever, we have no problems, never have. It's probably just because you have feelings for them. I bet if you put that aside and tried to form a friendship before a relationship, things would turn out better.

I'm more comfortable with guys. I grew up hanging around girls up until Freshman Year but the last few years were so much drama and no one ever relaxed for one minute without gossiping about this person or the next. I hung out with guys for the last two years, and I had more fun than the last five years of my life.

Would that mean that it would be weird for homosexuals to hang out with the same sex? Just asking :'D
Well no, not at all. My best friend is a girl. I like her A LOT and tell her everything but I'm not attracted to her at all.

This is ridiculous. Girls are amazing people. One of my best friends is a girl. I've had a girlfriend. My life adviser is a girl. COME ON PEOPLE!!
If you're not talking to the opposite gender just as friends cos you're creeped out by your other friends, then you have some serious issues.

Nope I would not feel awkward lol

[liptonlee]

not weird at all -- the pretence of being all manly of some guys ticks me off and i prefer girls over that, while some girls appreciate how we guys are more plain and honest, unlike those gossiping ones!

I am a guy that loves hanging with the ladies, as well as my mates. Good company is good company whether its a burger, a movie, a party, what ever it is just plain fun to be with good friends.

I don't think its weird, I hang out with girls all the time. I spend the night at they're houses ( unlike most guys, I can be trusted not to do anything stupid ) It only gets awkward when someone makes it awkward . Hope that helped

Most of my friends are girls - actually the closest people to me (my best friends so to say) are girls. I've never been the type of guy who does loads of guy's activities, I enjoy just hanging out, having some coffee, so yeah, I do go out with many friends who are girls without seeing it as anything romantic.

[StacyD]

Never felt awkward at all.

I don't think it's weird, all of my friends are girls, but then again I'm not sexually attracted to them. I can see how it'd be kind of awkward if you liked them, one of my friends (who doesn't know I'm gay) has a crush on me, & she's always flirting w/ me, it gets kind of awkward after awhile lol :p

Nope, I've hanged out with several girls before with just the two of us, but they know we're just friends and nothing more.
