Question Posted Saturday September 1 2007, 10:51 pm

Okay, well I just got a totally new group of friends like at the end of the school year, we've been hanging out the whole summer and i love them to death. The thing is, this group i am now is way more popular then the old group i was in, i don't care about the popularity its just that they hang out with a different group of guys then i used to. These guys i've known forever, and one used to be like my BEST friend except we rarely ever talk anymore, and so like i know all about them and they know all about me but we never really talk, well actually one of the guys i went out w/ for 6 months but like now we rarely talk? So some of them i have def. been close with in the past, its just now i'm really not. Idk its confusing! I know that i'm likeable becuase every camp i went to this summer, like 5 guys liked me.. so i'm not worried about that but the summer is almost over and i only hung out with the guys like 2 times becuase i was so busy, and i only have pretty much 1 more day of freedom and none of these guys are in my classes for school and i just need a way to get close to them quicker, becuase i don't wanna waste like a whole half of a year, and then the rest of it beinng close to them becuase i'm leaving for a different highschool you know? What are some ways that i can warm up to them quickly? like i can't talk to them online or the phone becuase i would have NOTHING to talk about because i never hang out w/ them & i have no background information to use. I just feel like such an outsider and i KNOW I can do better then this. I just have so much trouble really letting them get to know me because they are more popular then me and i kind of freeze up? it takes me a while to let them know the real me becuase i've know them for so long. I don't have the problem with people i've never met before! It's so weird. This is kind of long, and probably doesn't make sense, but thank you in advance for you answer!

Eh, you kind of lost me towards the end. Which guys are you trying to get closer with? The one that liked you at camp, or your other friends that you drifted apart from? If you've known them for so long, wouldn't they already know the real you and wouldn't it be easier to open up to them? Well, which ever guys you want to be better and closer friends with, you need to keep talking to. Be fun, outgoing and just talk about something that interests him or the both of you. It doesn't matter if they're more popular than you. Actually, they're probablly not but it may seem that way because they're more upfront with people and outgoing. Just hang out with them more and talk to them. It shouldn't matter what you guys talk about really. Even though you're going to a different highschool and because you have new friend, it shouldn't mean that you can't keep intouch with your old friends and still hang out with them.
