getting to

know a boy

I would really like to have a boy for a friend.

Elizabeth

You may find yourself looking at a certain boy and wondering how you can

get to know him better.

For starters, be friendly. Run a smile up the flagpole. Say hi in the hall. If

you’re in the same study group, ask what he thinks of the new gym teacher

or compliment him on his orange socks. Trade tips if you sit behind him in

computer class. Show you’re interested.

Look for common interests, too.

Do you play the guitar?

Read fantasy novels?

Snowboard?

Kick a mean goal kick?

Maybe he does, too. Ask some questions,

and see what you share.

For that matter, if you’re looking for a boy

to be friends with, your own activities are

a great place to start. Doing something

fun together is the best way of getting

to know anybody—girl or boy. It’s just

a whole lot easier to feel relaxed with

a person if you’re both swept up in

shooting baskets or playing table

tennis or practicing your lines for the

class play—not just staring at each

other trying to think of what to say.
