Q&A for How to Get a Guy to Be Your Friend

Try ignoring him for a short while. You don't want to be too clingy. If he likes you, he'll start talking to you again. Sometimes guys get a little scared if they feel like you aren't giving them space.

Don't be too pushy, but slowly nudge your way into his life. Ask him to sit with you at lunch, and if you see him in the hall, say hello. Just be friendly, and see what happens.

If it's something that he thinks that you did that made him not want to be friends anymore, apologize, even if it was a misunderstanding. And if you just grew apart, ask him to make plans sometime -- maybe with other mutual friends, so it won't seem as awkward.

You can ask him directly!

You cannot force someone to do anything. If you try to force things, you might end up pushing your crush away. Instead, be yourself, and remember, it is not the end of the world if your crush does not like you back. You will find someone else who will like you for who you are.

It sounds like your friend likes you. Believe what he says.

Find out who your mutual friends are and ask one of them to arrange something where you'll all be hanging out together. This will give him a chance to get to know you better without any pressure.

If you want to stay as friends, you can either give small hints of trying to get him to like another person (maybe a best friend who's single), or say things that will ultimately friend zone him (no one likes the friend zone, but it's sometimes needed). Say things like "You're like a brother to me'" and treat him like family (or friend, whichever you want.). If he doesn't take the hints, then just say flat out that you "aren't looking for a relationship". It might be rude, but he will understand.

If he ignores you, he might sort of like you, or he's missing out on what a wonderful person you are. Just be nice and be yourself, and you will find plenty of friends. Do not force friendship on anyone who does not wish it, as this will only push the other person further away.

Talk to your friend and tell him/her how you feel. Do not let this crush ruin your friendship.

Ask him to hang out at school, after school, or on the weekends. Walk home with him or invite him to take the bus. Tell him you want to be friends. Being honest/truthful is the best way to gain friendships and relationships.

For starters, the celebrity may want to choose a random dude who is not a diehard fan so that they will not be freaking out about said celebrity talking to them. The celebrity may also want to show this random guy that he/she is down to earth, likable, and easy to get along with.

Start small. Practicing on girls may help. If you don't feel sexually attracted to them, it could be easier. I'm not saying flirt, but starting up conversations with a female stranger could be easier than a male stranger. Take baby steps and work your way out of your comfort zone.

Ask him what's going on. Tell him you're confused and thought you were friends. Give him space and be happy with his decision.

Just ask him! If you don't want to ask, just start calling or texting him more frequently, and ask him to hang out. The more you talk and spend time together, the closer you'll become.

There is no telling where the heart may go. In this case, you could inform your crush that your BFF isn't interested in him and won't be changing her mind. Do it nicely and gently and avoid saying anything about your interest in him at this stage. Let him accept that your BFF isn't for him and stay friendly with him. In time he might just come to regard you as his new interest, especially if you've been supportive and not pushy or obvious.

Sometimes people just don't care for social media, texting, or PM, they prefer face-to-face contact. If he's talking to you in-person, it's clear that he likes you; you might consider asking what social media apps he uses most, if any.

Just say hi. Introduce yourself if you don't really know each other. Ask him if he likes the class/teacher, or ask him a question about the homework (even if you already know the answer).

Maybe he needs more time and you just need to wait. There are a lot of people who can trust only to close friends. If you really want to be his friend, be friendly and patient with him.
