I feel like all my friends are boys...because they basically are. I do have some girl friends, but 90% of the time I'm just texting a bunch of guys, and I'll hang with only guys alot. I'm a girl, and I am pretty and blonde and guys tend to like me alot. I've been told guys just want to get in my pants, but alot of them seem to be great friends to me.
My problem is that at social events, guys seem to HAVE to be with guys, and girls seems to HAVE to be with girls in one big clump. I feel left out there because I'm not friends with too many girls, and i can't be with my guys because they are with all the other guys.
All the girls like me, were friendly and all, but i really dont have anything to talk to them about. but i just hate feeling left out.
I'm not really sure what to do, because girls are tough to become friends with.
Any advice?

You don't HAVE to be friends with more girls than boys, contrary to what most girls will tell you.
If you're happy that 90% of your friends are boys, then that's awesome. Nobody can tell you who you have to be friends with.
However, if you feel like you'd be happier with a couple more female friends, then by all means go make some female friends.
Talk to girls more. Even if you have nothing in common, that doesn't mean you can't be friends. My best friends and I are total opposites; it keeps things interesting. I can get another point of view on something, or see an issue in a different light. Having nothing to talk about doesn't necessarily mean having nothing in common.
Girls will appreciate that you're friendly and making an effort to talk to them more.
Don't wait for them to make the first move.
Arrange for some girls to meet you at a movie that you think you'd all enjoy or go to the mall. Whatever you think would be enjoyable.
You can introduce them to your male friends and hang out with them at the same time, to lessen the awkwardness in an environment you're already comfortable in. Girls and boys don't have to hang out separately. If you'd like to hang out with girls more, just start doing it. Invite them places, drop hints that you're dying to see a particular concert/movie, etc. [ maxgrey's advice column | Ask maxgrey A Question ]
