don't look at guys like they're a whole different species (even though they act like it!) .. pretend that your friend is just hanging out with a bunch of other girls .. LOL! they're not too different from girls - just talk to them, laugh with them, hang with them - that should break the barrier. good luck! =)

try to be confident and remember theyre not judging u by your every word or action so just try to say what comes to your mind and remember your friend is right there with her so just try to act like if it was just u n her basically .....i have trouble with this too but usually wen im with a friend it makes it so much easier

you should have your friend introduce you, and then try to start a conversation with one of them.

1: You can always make new friends. Remember that song from girl scouts? "Make knew friends, and keep the o-old..."
2:Take small steps to meeting knew guys. Ex. Instead of meeting all of your friend's guy-friends at once, meet them one at a time (with your friend there too, so your not alone) so it's easier to get to know them. Just remember: guys can be really fun to hang out with. ^.^

You're on one side of the line and boys are on the other - lucky for you, though, you have a friend who already knocked the barrier down.

If you want to be more comfortable hanging around guys and meeting them, then stick to your friend. You already know her, and she knows the guys - so that's how you meet them.

She'll have things in common with them if she already knows them well, so you can ask her about individual guys, or even just follow her lead. I always feel more comfortable in awkward situations if I have a friend with me, and I really do think she'll help.

Of course, don't forget that you'll be meeting a lot of other new people at your school, too. You'll probably meet a lot of people who are uncomfortable around guys, and you can spend time with them.

Either way, good luck!

Get to know them. Talk to them, go places. I think if you become friends with them you won't be shy!
