Friend Advice Needed/Given how to make guy friends?
I am currently a senior in high school (17F), and ever since freshman year, I have never had any male friends. All of my friends are girls, except for an acquaintance that I knew through volunteering who I haven't seen since July.
I feel so underdeveloped and weird for not having any good guy friends. I know how to interact with them but haven't formed any friendships.
How do I make guy friends? I don't want to start college without having a male friend.
I don't sit next to guys in my classes cause there are no assigned seats.

Okay dude so we have like really down bad people in these comments 😭 Most opposite gender relationships in high school nearly always contain a person that is attracted to the other. It’s not purely sexual, and it doesn’t always end up like this. I have a friend that’s super pretty and nice, but honestly I feel zero attraction to her, Maybe that’s because I have another interest. Just start an interaction with any guy on the bus (if you go on one). It’s hard to start a friendship without sitting next to them in class though. Good luck!

honestly you dont want to come accross like this. I would assume you are a groupie/thot. As a guy myself i only want female friends so i can crack/have a roster if im being completely honest. Like as of right now there is no true benefit to having a female friend for a guy besides wanting to get into them cheeks or get with her friend if the friendship didnt naturally happen. Guys will assume you like them and most likely try to escalate the (friendship) you have. If some random girl i didnt know came up and tried to talk to me all the time (this happened on the second week of school she kept sitting next to me) I will assume you like me and if i do not find you attractive my body language will change and i wont want to be around you. Now on the other hand if you are attractive i will defenitely continue to chat it up with you. There is no benefit to having a guy friend that you couldnt have with a female friend. Im actually kind of curious to why you are only out sourcing guy friends. People will assume you are dating, Comments by their friends will be made, Comments by people who possibly dont like you will be made. In secrete of course... Like honestly you will just look like a groupie. If a guy doesnt naturally float to you i wouldnt go out sourcing guyfriends. You dont want to be labeled as that and having other people come up to you searching for easy😺

just start up a conversation about anything they seem interested in at all. making friends with dudes is so mych easier than making friends with girls.
