I’ve tried to do my best to make a title that makes you want to click. So now let me introduce myself. I’m a student at high school and for a while now I’ve been wanting to make friends with certain people. But really just friends, I don’t know how to get to them. They’re at a higher grade than me, and I don’t know how to approach them. I can only talk to them at lunchtime, during other breaks. And the problem is that among some of the people I want to be friends with there are also boys and I don’t want them to think I’m doing this because I want to be in a relationship with them or something like that I swear they seem so cool and I’ve often noticed when I listen to their discussions that we have things in common. So how do I go about talking to them? Say “Hey, I want to be friends with you? How can I also talk to them long term and not make it awkward? No, I’m talking shit, but help me please. How to be friends with people without making it awkward and maybe be able to ask them for their Instagram? Of course I don’t want to force them so I want to do it in the least embarrassing way so that they are comfortable.
