How do I become friends with him?

It’s easy to get hung up on one person and try to make them your all in all; much better if you can work at forming a few close friends so you are not leaning too heavily on one relationship. Is there any kind of a Star Trek or video game club where maybe you could find some more friends who like what you like? Not easy but it will help you out of the depression immeasurably if you can do it. Also, when you are engaged in something it will make you more attractive to this or another guy.

Say hi to him, say you’ve noticed him at church, and then ask him a question about something you know he is interested in or he does. Something along the lines of “I know you’re a sexton, how’s that working out for you?” Once you get him talking about his interests, you’ll have started to make a friend.

Talk to him about what he like to do in his free time, there might be something you like to do to, you can say “I’d love to join you sometime, that would be fun.”

And then you can ask him to play games with you. But don’t take it personally if he doesn’t, there may be something going on his life that you are unaware of.

@laura98 In all my years on this Earth I have never picked up a woman. But I have been picked up by women multiple times. And all of them have proceeded along similar lines. The woman just showed up at my side and didn’t push at all. That let me talk to them, with no pressure from either side. After a bit, the conversation gets better and we start exploring each other more and it goes from there. But if I get pressure I pull back into my shell almost every time. Just go easy and play it by feel.

Ask him some questions about his interests. Find out if you have shared enthusiasms. Ask him questions and see what kind of a person he is and what kind of friend he would be.

By the way, time to drop your so-called school friend. Who needs it? Tell them that you don’t want to be treated badly any more.

Just be friendly, try to strike up a conversation and let things unfold as they will. If you attempt to be friendly and he ignores you then forget about him and keep reaching out to other kids. If he is all that…he will not reject your friendly advances. If he is a weenie and blows you off you are better off without that kind of “friend.” Good luck kiddo…it sucks at your age, then again, it can suck at any age. lol

All you have to do is say hi, and just talk to him. Ask him about himself, and tell him about yourself. It doesn’t take much more than that to start a friendship.

Have you tried to talk to him?

If he is really a Christian, you can ask him about something in the Bible and you will have his rapt attention.
