i seriously need someone to go shopping with or something. i mean i have a boyfriend but he doesnt live here and all he wants to do is play computer games with his online friends.

so im thinking i need to go out and get my own life instead of just waiting around for him to talk to me. its pretty miserable and pathetic let me tell you.

there is this girl in my class at school and we have the same major so thats pretty cool. all i really know about her is her name and where she works and thats about it. we cant really talk during class and when class is over im ready to get out of there. she seems cool though. so how do you get to know someone and how do you start hanging out with them without seeming really desperate and needy? i suck at this stuff. no one has never really acted like they wanted to hang out with me so i dont know what to do. i would rather them ask me to hang out.

i talk to the people i work with of course but we are just acquaintances i think. plus i hate mixing work with my social life.

i dont really know how to go about making friends. my problem is i might just want to loaf all day or something and not want to hang out with anyone and it sucks coming up with excuses.

ask her opinion on something if you get a chance, or ask where she got a bag or her shoes or a magazine she happens to be holding or share a joke about your class

it is really hard to jump in with people but something really little like that usually works, and you seem cool so i'm sure she'd take to you

Well if your of age aske her if she wants to grab a drink after class..then if she does while you guys are drinkin you'll find stuff to talk bout an then you go from there...Holla!!

^^That's good advice.

Hehe (following on from me being a bad friend and unhappy she's got a boyfriend-thread) I think I need to do this too!

Well. I've made a couple of friends because I saw them in class and thought, "they look cool. I want to be their friend!". I asked if they fancied a cigarette after class! Haha did this make me seem desperare and needy?!

Also, what about uni societies? We've got hundreds and I was so lazy about joining them, but I've signed up for some that I'm going to start turning up to next term. Like Socialist Society haha woo. And Real Ale Society!
