Tips on how to make clear to male friends just wanting to be friends?
Hi everyone,
I am a 19 year old girl with a boyfriend and we're 8 months happily in a relationship.
I am a introverted girl who doesn't connect easily with strangers. Chitchatting with them about random stuff is not a problem for me, but just 'emotionally' connecting to them. Also, I talk more easily to boys than to girls. With girls I find it harder to get more 'personal'? I'd really love to have more girl friends just to talk about girly stuff or social issues in life but it's hard for me to connect with them. I also don't want to be too creepy or pushy...
The result of this proces is I have more male friends than girl friends. Sometimes I meet new people and as usual I connect easily with guys. But sometimes when we're having conversations about stuff (life, interests) and I think we're just hanging out casually in the end it usually turns out that some of them like me and want more of me.
I'm not interested because I love my boyfriend, but I don't want to hurt their feelings and lose them as a friend.. What should I do?
