What Do You Guys Say?


Question Posted Friday March 14 2008, 9:39 pm

So, this question is gonna sound really, really stupid but I'm desparate for an answer. I'm a sophmore in high school and about a year ago, I stopped being friends with my best friend and when that happened I didn't have that many friends and still only have a couple. I really wanna start hanging out with people but i just don't know how to ask. I've gone on sites that had examples of what you should say when you are socializing but its all really corny stuff that people my age would never say. This is such a dumb question but when you start hanging out with someone for the first time (not dating, just friendship)how does it all work out? Do you just say, "wanna hang out" and stuff like that? Do you go in groups? Do you call them or ask them in school, or ask them online? I wanna ask people but I don't no how I should do it while looking cool. If you could give me exact examples of what you say or dialogues that would be great. I'd also prefer it if people like my age could answer (like in high school or whatever). Any other advice would be great. Thanks so much!

just be yourself. that might sound corny but it actually works. i had your same problem a few months ago. so i started talking to some people and being nice to them. just come up with conversations, and eventually ask them if you could sit with them at lunch. then that person (in return) would ask you if you want to hang out with them.
hope i helped

Well, I'm not your age, but I can tell you if you try to sound cool, you'll likely sound like a fool. You don't want that for certain.

If you are trying to meet new friends, you don't just blurt out "Wanna hang out?" Rather, you just kinda spark conversation about this or that. This or that being something you have actual interest in.

You will know if you and this person click. If you do, that's when you ask, "Hey I'd like to talk to you some more. Want to meet up later?"

I wouldn't go up to a group and try to make yourself a part of it. You would be better off getting acquainted with one person from the group, who will in turn introduce you to his/her friends.
