My friend and I haven't ever hung out outside of school. I am a 16 year old girl and he is a 16 year old boy. We see each other everyday for practice but now we're gonna hang out outside of school and we finally found time and we are hanging out the 21st and 22nd. I am excited to spend this time with him and we are going to be with other people, I am just afraid I might annoy him, I want him to have fun, but he's a shy guy. So, how do I let him get loose and joke around without being annoying to him?
Allow him to mingle with others a bit while you do the same with the others that are invited. Let him know that you are excited to finally hang out and really wanted him there.
That may help with his shyness. Just act like you normally do towards him and others and crack whatever jokes you choose and all will be fine. Tell him how much you value his friendship as that will go a long way to him being comfortable and opening up. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

Being yourself will not annoy him. He must already like who you are as a person if he wants to hang out with you outside of practise and he will have fun as long as you are having fun and letting loose. When a person is smiling and doing fun stuff around you, it is hard not to have fun yourself. Making him feel included and welcome will help him be more outgoing, but other than that, it is up to the individual. He will not be shy if you make him feel comfortable <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
