How can I expand my social life?

Ok, im a sportsman, like 25 hours a week exersize type sportsman, and I go to a all-guys school… But I dont get on with guys… Anyway, I was wondering is anyone had suggestions on how I could broaden my social life, btw, none of my friends throw parties, and those who do dont invite me. So I cant meet people like that.

And im not going to add random people who live near me on social networking sites, so dont suggest that.

Oh, and im 14, incase that helps.

Answer #1

Irrissann, you are from Australia right? So, off you go to the underage Blue Light Disco…Guarantee you will meet people near your age group and its pretty safe.

If you have no idea what Blue Light Discos are, the events are on during a week night usually Thursday during school terms and only teenagers under 17 are allow to attend.

They have Blue Light Discos nation-wide so just buzz your local police department or police and community service centres and they should be able to tell you which one is closer to your home.

The events are run by the coppers on the night, in an hired community halls. Obviously no alcohols or smoking are permitted and the music is fairly decent. It’s not free but the admission to get in is very cheap and I’m sure your parents wouldn’t mind paying the cost.

If you do land a girlfriend, be sure to let us nosy parkers know heheee ;)

Omg, seriously if you want to make more friends, you gotta sacrifice a bit of your time. I’m not suggesting you give up your ice skating but make some time to mingle with people. You do not have to attend every single Blue Light events, just a couple and when you are there, swamp mobile numbers and email addresses.

It must be horrible to have so little friends :( but please do make an effort and socialise because once your turn 18, you gotta have mates to hang out with at pubs, clubs etc as you cannot go by yourself, it’s so uncool.

If this will help encourage you to go out and have fun, I’ll let you on a secret. I met my boyfriend at a friend of a friend’s friend 21st birthday bash even though he was already in uni and I was in still in high school we still liked each other so I’m glad we hooked up as he’s friggin hot as hell and damn nice too. :)

Answer #3

Clawjaw, I going to say the same thing to irrissann but you beat me too it.

I don’t think you realise that with every negative ‘no, I cannot do that blab, blab’ to the helpful advices from strangers, you are being counter unproductive and comes across as an irritating little poohead. ;)

Anyway, if you are not going to listen to us, then you may as well come up with methods yourself on how to increase your friend packs as I cannot stomach stubborn people.

Answer #4

I cant give up any skating… my coach would kill me. being the best in australia doesnt allow me to slack off. plus thursday is our main hard-core training day. and I have several girl-mates (who happen to be my sisters friends) who r (embbarrassingly) really into me, and if I did want to go clubbing, it’s them I’d bring. because I’d probably end up getting smashed and killing all my (1) guy mates.

Answer #5

you can try to talk to other girls and guys and make friends with them too I think you should just give it a go if your friend doesnt think its working out just dont go next time but at least give it a try, you might meet some new people and so thats 12 hours of stuff that you do each day I assume you dont sleep for the other 12 so that gives you a few hours of things to fill your time with right?

Answer #6

its not that im not social… its that she doesnt like me the way I like her,and she thinks it’ll be awkward for her with me there. and I did the calculations, its about 28 hours, which averages out to 2 hours mornn, 2 hours night, plus 6 hours school, and 2 hours study each day. im not shy, I just cant meet NEW people because I have no time

Answer #7

well just ask your friend if you can go to one of her parties of course you might not like it, and you might even hate it the first time I was really shy and not social and hated going to parties too when I was younger because I knew I wouldnt talk to people there but then you start talking to people and being more social, and you start making friends the more you go to the better at socialising you get, and the less shy youll get at talking to people but you wont meet them if you dont at least give it a try

Answer #8

because none of my friends tell me till after they go to partys. and I have no time for other sports or hobbys. I ice skate before and after school, then I have to do my homework and study, ten sleep. every day

and the girl I like, is one of my bet friends, and is always having partys. but she wont let me go, because she knows I adore her. she is scared that if I go to one of hers, iwont enjoy it, because I probably wouldnt talk/intecact with anyone else

Answer #9

why dont you ask if you can go to a party when you hear of one? a lot of the time people dont invite other peple because they assume they wouldnt want to go so instead of waiting for something to come to you, go to it just ask if you can go to there party, because theyll most likley invite you you could also try getting into some other activities you like (other sports, hobbies,ect) and meet people that way

Answer #10

well its only 12:30 here :p

I dont understand cus everytime someone surggests summet you make a excuse about not being able to do it shrugs

im gone, gd luck ;)

Answer #11

youve just spent 2 hours on here mate and you could have been living it up, mental as anything, get it… pheff never mind lol

Answer #12

I do go to bluelight, but I cant go often, because it means skipping time from ice skating (my sport) but the girls there only wanna hook up. and most the ones that target me are 16 plus… I dont loook my age at all

Answer #13

Answer #14
