How to become better friends with my neighbor?


Question Posted Monday June 21 2010, 3:43 am

My family is pretty new to a town (2 months) and our neighbors baked us a cake when we moved in. Since then, I haven't interacted with them. I'm 16 and there's a girl who lives there who's 17 and we're on friendly terms at school but I haven't hung out with her outside of school. How do I initiate that? Should I just go ring on her doorbell and ask to hang out at her house? Cause at my house there's literally nothing to do but watch tv and go on the computer... thanks parents. Im pretty socially inept and have trouble initiating things like that. But I want to change as the new girl here, and become more social, because I'm very social but by social inept-ness is making things difficult. I rarely ever initiate hang out days, which is maybe why nobody really hung out with me. But what should I do? Ask her to go see a movie or something? Id probably feel awkward in that situation too, ugh. But shes really cool and really nice, and she has younger siblings too.. what should I do? Thanks for the help btw

well you say you're on friendly terms at school, and that you're new to town? I say, you start at school, say hi, ask how she is, etc etc. Then maybe ask "whats there to do around here?" because, im assuming you're not fully adjusted yet, and so asking her what there is to do in the area, is like an invitation for her to show you around.

You could go around to hers- the common link here is school. You both go to the same school, so you both know the boring teachers, you both know of the good looking guys etc. The fact that school is the common link, is a good starting point. From here, theres tonnes to talk about like the above, but also, homework? assignments? tests? extra curricular activities? This way, she may introduce you to her normal circle of friends, and be friendly with them, and hopefully you will become part of their circle of friends, which will make you confident. Hope i helped, if you need more advice or have a follow up Question, just ask :)
