Question Posted Wednesday October 10 2007, 5:01 pm
in my school, theres 2 lunch periods, most of my friends have 6th lunch, but i have 5th. which sucks, but whatever. i figured it'd be a good opportunity to meet new people, since i'm shy.
so i sit with my friend, who i've known since 7th grade, i'm not really good friends with her, but we're still friends, if that makes sense. she is best friends with this one guy, who sits there, along with his girlfriend. sometimes random people come over and eat too, mostly guys (good thing cause i have like no guy friends either anddd one is particularly cute ;]) so there's about 5 or 6 guys that also randomly come over, although they don't sit with us everyday. i don't think i've ever talked to the kid my friend is best friends with, i dont know why. he's just never said anything to me and i have no clue what to say to him. i've talked to a couple of the other guys a few times, but nothing that makes me their friend. i feel kinda left out sitting at the table sometimes, cuz they have all these inside jokes that i'm not a part of. also, like i said before, i'm pretty shy. although i'm getting better, i'm still not the most outgoing person, and in a lot of situation i don't know what to say. i want to be friends with these guys, cuz i have like no guy friends right now and they seem nice. i'm a sophomore by the way. i'm also really afraid that my friend is gonna be absent and they're gonna ditch me or something, and i'll be alone. there's other people i can eat with, but finding them in my school would be hard. soo how can i join in on conversations and get these guys to think i'm cool?

Start a conversation with them all at the lunch table, ask them if they have anything planned for the evening or if they have seen a certain tv show you like, something like that. Just start making conversations first and they will talk to you too. You'll be friends in no time
Maybe arrange to go out at the weekend with them and your girlfriends
