i tried searching first..

when i meet a new guy its really hard for me to talk to them the same way i talk to a girl, even if im not attracted to them, at all. I have nothing to say and I cant be myself. Im shy in general, but with guys its worse. I want to be one of those girls with alot of guy friends, but i cant make it happen. im going to a new school next year, so i have a chance to make new friends.

how you do act when you meet new people, guys especially. and any advice for me?

If you're shy, try to find people that you can talk to, and don't force yourself to be someone else.

I get along fine with guys that act fine around me. There are some guys that try and act cool and don't say anything, and don't try to make any conversation at all. I can never really become friends with those kind of people. And if that happens to you, remember that it's not your fault that they're so incredibly boring.

I am, however, great friends with a few guys that are extremely outgoing and talk about anything and everything.

If you find someone who's open enough to talk to, it'll be easy for you to open up to them, too. You'll break your shyness barrier easily.

And you know, that rule replies to friends of all genders, not just males.

Just remember not to change yourself around too much to make friends. =) Remember, your friends should be compatible to your tastes, and you shouldn't have to change yourself to "fit in".

...wow, that was a bit repetitive. =p
