i had recently started a new school and i have problems making friends. it's not that it's me, it's just i'm very shy & the gurls won't even give me a chance. I'm frineds with most of the guys, but like i said i get pretty bad vibes from all the girls. they act as though they are too good to hang otu with someone new. what should i do?
I agree with steph, I rarely get along with girls hehe.. I am definitely one of the guys about 98% of the time. And the way that you describe it seems as if you are one of the chill girls who are willing to make new friends no matter the gender. And if these girls are acting snobby or stuck up as if you're not good enough to hang out with, then just forget it. You don't NEED friends, you just need yourself. But friends are a plus... If you do want to make new girl friends, then I guess you should ask the guys if they have friends who are girls or girlfriends, so that you all can hang out together. You know someone, who knows someone, who knows this other person, who.. well you get the idea haha. Just be yourself, smile, be friendly and Im sure youre not the problem lol.
1. Compliment them.
- If they're wearing a nice pair of shoes, or some cute jeans, tell them. Let them know you like their shoes, and then ask where they got them. After that, ask if they're comfortable or something. Don't be annoying about it, but take interest in the person you're talking to, and hopefully, chances are they'll show interest back.
2. Find something you have in common.
- If they're wearing a band shirt, and it's a band you like, tell them! For example, say they are wearing a Rocket Summer shirt, say to them, "I see you have on a Rocket Summer shirt, do you like his music?" Then, after they answer, tell them your opinion on the band/artist.
3. Talk about your surroundings/where you are.
- Say it's after class and the person next to you is getting up to leave. Walk out next to him/her and comment on the class. Say something like, "That was kind of an interesting lesson." or "Was it just me, or was that lecture kind of boring?" or, if you're sitting outside on a bench, and somebody is sitting next to you, make a comment about the weather or where you are.
4. Make a joke!
- There's no better way to make friends with somebody than to make them smile/laugh. BUT don't make a joke about another person, it will make you look bad AND potentially hurt another person's feelings.

I am 21. and throughout school, i NEVER got along woth other girls. Maybe 1 or 2 my whole life.
I realized that guys like hanging out with me, and so I had a bunch of guy friends, and girls were jealous that guys wanted to be my friend, so they treated me badly.
you dont have to be accepted by girls. you can make it through school with the guys, and you will have a blast.
if girls wanna be your friend, awesome. If they dont, oh well, they dont know what an awesome person they're missing out on. =]
