The only thing I am consistently failing is to make friendship with girls in my college. I am not charming and smart but I have seen many guys who are not that much smart around me making good friendship with girls. I dont even have a sister to give me some tips on this. Here I would like to hear some tips from mylotters.

Be what you are, and never pretend to become for what your not! all you need to have some confidence in you; yes, in you only and you'll conquer the whole world. in order to make girl friends, you don't need to become smart or beautiful. besides, you have to approach girls; often it happens that guys who mostly shy wait for the girls to approach them which is rarities. girls do not often approach guys. you need to tell that girl that you are going to make friendship with her and this relation is not about love at all. most of the time girls also think that guys only make friendship in order to sleep with them therefore, you also need to display a rather sober gentleman in you.

I don't have dilemma having friendship with girls. I think you need to be sensitive a bit for the girls to know you. Some guys are like stiff for being insensitive. It could be one reason, but you just need to be open and friendly.

My first advice to you is just be yourself. Don't show that you are desperate to make girl friends. And at the same time be as casual as possible and try talking to them over your subjects and ask doubts. That is the best way to make friends. also occasionally invite them with you for lunch or coffee. This really works for most of them. Don't worry if you are slow in doing these. And girls don't fall for one's looks. All the best. Update us when you get a girl friend.

Making friends with girls is not that difficult. We are not only interested in guys who r smart and charming, but also the guys who r humorous in personality and vigorous in appearance. As I know, humor is the one thing which we girls cannot resist, if u r lack of it, try to watch some humorous movies and TVs, don't let girls think u r a slow-witted guy when they need humor for fun. Hope this can help u~~~

A guy doesn't have to be that attractive to be noticed by girls. You should exude confidence so that people would see you in a different way. Sometimes, if we are too timid, people would also tend away from speaking with us. So just have a positive aura, and in no time, people would be coming to you.

Perhaps you are too shy. I agree that men with sisters make friends easily with their female classmates or colleagues.It is not very difficult to befriend girls,though. Just be sincerely friendly.We,girls, know if the guy is befriending to take advances so you gotta be careful. Thus if the guy is genuinely friendly, we will treasure the friendship.

You are trying too hard. Go find something you enjoy doing, and work at that. Then if a girl comes around, just try and be friendly. Keep your expectations as low as possible. And expect rejection. Too many guys are not willing to be friendly, for fear of rejection. You should not be afraid of rejection. Just except that you are going to get rejected a few times, and just be friendly. A women I know had a hard time meeting guys. She finally gave up on guys, and decided she liked horse back riding. One day while horse back riding, a guy showed up, who liked horse back riding. After ride for a couple of months, he asked her out for dinner, and 10 years later they are married and have 4 kids. They key for her was, she stopped trying so hard, and just did what she loved to do. When you find something you like, and you are good at, and enjoy doing, you'll be more attractive to other people.

What do you mean 'make friendship'? Whatever you mean, don't make what you're doing "about them." Do what you do, and let them do that with you. (I mean Sure, PLAN to bring them along--don't IGNORE them if they decide to go along with you--but don't treat them like 'children whom you are providing-for' ...) Treat them like guys ... maybe a good way to put it is 'to treat them like your elders (not like your guardians, but like the grown-ups you liked ... your uncle, your gym-teacher or whoever)

There are no tips how to get friends with women. What do you mean by: I am smart? You look great or your intelligence. One tip: be yourself and don't get focused on being friends with women (or men). It just doesn't work like that. If you want to be friends with someone you need to have something in common. Most men do not make friends with women at all. A sister is also not needed. I doubt those men who do have female friends got advice from their sister(s). Also.. women never get advices from their brother(s) how to be friends with men. Some people are making friends easily, others don't. Gay men are great in making, having but also keeping (!) female friends. Just because they have a lot in common. They understand them (do not pretend they do), they are creative, have frequently same life styles, are honest showing interest, are not living on Mars while the women are on Venus. Read some books, be yourself, do not pretend you are better or different like you are in reality since women will know that at once.

So being real is very important in making friendships. I also noted one more thing too. Rich guys in the college have the big circle of friends who are girls.

Sometimes it is just like that, when the time is right you will make a friend, sometimes it take years, until then continue on with your studies and make sure when your friends ask you if you would like to go out with them go, you might just find a friend in a girl while you are out and about.

If you are in college, you can try social events and social clubs to meet girls. If you can find one that pertains to your interests, that is even better. For instance, if you are into hiking and have a club for that, then you might be able to have a chance at meet girls and can talk about something you are interested in.

Don't go after them. Let them come to you. What you should have in yourself is all virtues. You wouldn't like bad persons in your life. Just be like a flower who spreads its fragrance around. If you are good, good people will start liking you. Good girls don't get attracted with fake things,they would like the real you.

Smile is all it takes my friend. Start smiling with everyone, even to your self. But of course the simple smile like you are greeting these people in silence. Or better yet, greet these people if you know them, it's an extra point to earn friends. And also start joking with them with sense or without sense just to give some light modes in the environment. In this way, girls will think you are easy to approach with.

There is no secret to making good friends. Just be yourself. Sometimes you can't be shy though or you will never end up talking with her, although some girls like shy guys. But even if you are shy, you have to have the guts to approach her and just make some sort of connection. It is easier to make friendship with girls if they are in your class though, because you could start talking about school work and such. I have read your response above and yes rich guys will always have a lot of friends. Or might I just say the rich guys MONEY will always have friends. The thing about being rich is that you never know which friends are real or not. They flaunt their money so much the whole world becomes attracted to it and draws closer to you. To me it is not a good feeling. If that money should die down, you might realize that friendships go with it as well. Back to what I was saying before: 1)Don't act too shy to the point that you wont take action. 2)Don't procrastinate or hesitate in any way trying to think about something to say because that might only get your heart rate pumping too heavily and make you not actually go approach her. 3)Be nice when you approach her. 4) Be your self when you approach her, you don't want a girl being your friend for someone she THINKS you are that you are not, because at the end of it all you wont be able to keep up pretending and she might see you are a pretender. You don't want that. 5)Have fun

hi there, with regard to your post, i guess, you just need to be yourself. you don't need to pretend that you are like this and like that, hence, opening a friendly relationship to an opposite gender is not too difficult. you don't even need to be charming and smart. just make friends without any apprehensions. just being yourself, for sure, you will win a lot of friends.

So you are a guy,right?Firstly you should figure out that you need a girl friend or just female friends,if you just want to make friends with female and that is easy,you take more party hold by your college then you will have many chances to recognize girls. And actually you can pick up some of them and try to chase one to your girl friends,just be brave man,then you will get some many female friends.

Just be yourself. Girls like to know that the friendship is a trusted friendship. If you are just interested in being a friend, you don't need to be 'charming' just be yourself. A little humor helps. Just be kind and considerate.

Making friend with girls is the same as making friend with guys. Be who you are, be tolerant and be happy :)
