How do you make friends that are guys but you're a girl and you don't want to be to close just friends and when you get to know them a little more maybe even more. Cause I'm starting middle school next year and I want some friends that are guys because I'm really atheletic and my friends can't keep up with me. Plus I'm really shy too.

If you like the same things (like sports) then it will just happen. Be yourself and be socialble. Take the opportunities you get to hang out with people that seem to have similar interests. Also if you like athletics, get involved in a sports team of your choosing. The girls teams and guys teams always end up spending time together. It's a perfect way to make guy friends and some girl friends that have the same interests..

Don't be shy.just try not to be I used be shy, now mostly the whole 7th grade knows me. Don't be nervous either go up to them and say hi I'm sally sue wats up.Get to know them.

the best thing not to do is freak out.

Talk sports to them it should be a sure win/win situation and if you are pretty good at sports that should win their respect too.

Great question & believe it or not a lot of the other new 6th graders, boys & girls, have the same question! Most 6th grade boys just want to be friends with girls at this age. Yes, there are always the ones that are girl crazy, but they are the minority in 6th gr. Just be yourself and get involved in school activities such as sports, clubs, etc. Most boys will be glad to meet a girl who loves sports & isn't boy crazy just yet.
