I need help making new friends..

Well, there’s this guy I want to be friends with, because he seems to be cool, athletic, etc. We barely know each other.. we just randomly greet each other when we meet, but we never really talk.. I, for one, don’t because starting conversations isn’t what I’m good at..

So, we have 3 classes together: Honors Geo, Bio, and French. He isn’t a very “smart” kid, but I think he has a desire to stay in those classes because he has no desire to drop out of the honors classes. I was thinking maybe I could help him out with geometry because I’m good at it, and become closer friends as we get together often because Geometry can get really hard. Eventually we might end up hanging out after a lot of knowing-each-other-”study” time (:

What do you think? Is this a good way to get to know him better? Any other tips would be very much appreciated. :]

Sounds like you have a plan. Studying yeah, but if you can identify an activity outside of class and/or hobbie you have in common, those are probably more solid in developing a friendship.

I do geometry with my friend (we’re both guys… NOT GAY!) and in the beginning, it was SOOOOOO fun and we got the work done quick, but when it started getting harder and longer we kinda blew it off until last minute… and here I am today finishing up my geometry homework… at 10 pm teh day before my classes… BUT ANYWAY! if you know the stuff and are willing to take the time to tutor him I think it’d be a great idea. However, if your with someone who will distract you from your work, you might not get a whole lot done. Also don’t end up doing his work for him and get to know him a little better before you start working with him.

I defer to Central’s comment. That’s great advice.

If it’s possable, listen to him. If he says anything about ‘failure’ of ANY subject, offer to help him out even if it’s something you don’t even know - you can learn it ‘together.’
“I couldn’t help but over-hearing. . .(blah, blah, blah) - would you like some help?”
Start somewhere and I’m sure as time goes on, he’ll ask you out.

(provided that he dosen’t already have a girlfriend - check into that).

Good Luck!
