So do you want to make friends with guys or become "one of them", but do you have a reputation for being shy? You can instantly increase your popularity among the guys! After all, there is no reason to limit your circle of friends to just one sex. Becoming friends with kids (as with anyone) may take time and effort, but it will prove to be very rewarding.
Steps
Step 1. Start smiling
You have to seem available to the kids. This also requires some self-confidence.
Step 2. Sit next to them
This will make them more likely to speak to you first.
Step 3. Start speech
If there is a particular guy you like and you know he loves something, sports for example, watch a game on TV, or, if he is a musician, search for a song on iTunes to share it with him. After you find out, go deeper into your research on your own, so that when the conversation begins, you don't get perplexed on the subject.
Step 4. If they tease you, laugh with them, or emphasize with irony
You can pretend you are angry with them, it might seem like a "brotherly conflict". Boys like girls with a sense of humor.
Step 5. If you get intimate enough to share a joke, repeat it a few times to make sure they know you remember it and that you think their talk is important
Step 6. When hanging out with guys, show your personality and don't be shy
Guys are interested in girls who seem funny and a little crazy.
Step 7. If they start talking to you, don't be scared
They usually don't get you in trouble and don't make you feel uncomfortable.
Step 8. Go ahead and ask questions about the school, how they are doing, and so on
Step 9. Do not give the impression that you want to attract their attention at all costs, they may think that you are too interested in them, and take you for granted
Step 10. Be talkative
If guys see you talking, they will start to think you are company and may even talk to you.
Step 11. If the guy you're talking to is surrounded by friends, it's a great opportunity to introduce yourself and start making other male friends
Advice
- Try to be honest; boys like to be loyal and usually appreciate honesty and frankness. Don't be rude, but sincere. They appreciate brave people.
- Be sure of yourself! Guys like confident girls who like each other and are happy with who they are.
- Be yourself. If you are yourself, they will know you as you are and you will know more about yourself. Don't let your friends tell you you're too shy or anything like that. Follow your timing. Always be honest… why not?
- Take it easy! Guys are human too, and they probably like you just as much as they like you. It's super important to be yourself, because the right guys like you the way you are, both outwardly and inwardly.
- The first impression is what matters, unless you know anything about "kid stuff". Starting out as someone who pretends to be a sports fan to attract a guy doesn't make a good first impression. There is no point in being friends with kids if they become friends with a fake person. Also know that some guys are not into what you consider "kid stuff", like sports or heavy metal.
- Makeup is fine … but the kids don't want to talk about it. Stay in the know about big sporting events, rock concerts or other boyish stuff.
- Have fun!
- Sometimes flirting lightly with a guy will get his attention, and make him open his eyes. Hug him and ask for the kiss on the cheek. But make sure you don't overdo it! Otherwise he may think you want to go further. So, if you hug him, he also hugs the other friends who are with him, so that he doesn't get the wrong idea.
Warnings
- Draw a line between a friendship and a romantic relationship. Reduce sexual attraction and avoid overstepping the limits.
- Don't talk too much like a guy and don't always intrude on their talk, they may find it irritating.
- Don't neglect your friends to just talk to guys.
- Don't think that just because you're friends with a guy you have to behave like him, it's okay to be feminine, even if you're friends with guys.
- You should also remember that although they are boys, they should also be friends, so if she's an idiot, don't be friends with her, you don't have to!
- DON'T talk to guys about problems or "women's things", you will disgust or terrify them.
- Do this gradually if you have a reputation for being extremely calm and shy. You will only attract gossips if you do everything in one go.
- Don't be too self-centered if your male friends are all around you and are starting to think like you.
- Many guys are idiots. If someone does something that makes you uncomfortable, don't consider it hopeless by saying "the boys will stay boys". Your job is not only to make him like you, but you should also make an effort to make him like you. If you don't like something he does, tell him about it or break the friendship completely.
- Don't overdo it to be friends with kids.
