Boyfriend have a lot of friends? Do you feel intimidated by it? Are you reading this blog because you feel shadowed by his social life? If you answered "Yes" to all of these questions this is definitely the blog for you.
Not everyone is a social butterfly, some of us only have a few close friends that they've had since high school while others have the gift of making friends at the post office. If you're dating a guy who appears to know the entire! neighborhood then it can be a little intimidating when you have more of a reclusive personality.
Places of Insecurity
- At a Party
Join In! if a group of people decide to play a game give it a try. Don't know how to play? watch the first round while asking your guy the rules of the game. If you like what you see ask to play next.
- His solo "Adventures"
- Join a Class
- Try taking a yoga class or an aerobics class. Research studios in your area
- Like to cook? Always wanted to learn how to draw? Community Colleges are always offering basic skilled classes where you don't even need to be a student to enroll.
- Volunteer
- Instead of complaining about the social life you aren't having why not help someone whose life is a lot worse off than yours. Non profit organizations are always looking for volunteers to help out for food drives or even tutoring children.
Online
You were feeling pretty good when your friends list hit 200 till you looked at his and he's batting 1,000. Most of your tagged pics were done yourself while he has pages of random times out with his buddies. Though we all know that the social media frenzy does not determine how popular someone actually is, for some it still can be intimidating.
Don't! Make it a contest: Never feel like you have to add every person you meet just to catch up to his "quota" Have friends that you've added but never really talk to? Reconnect with them. Comment on one of their status' or like a picture. Make do with what you already have.
Do! Become inspired: Get in the habit of always carrying your camera with you. Take random pictures of your nights out. Post funny status's of what you're doing. Have fun with your page to show your friends how more outgoing you are becoming.
There is nothing a guy finds sexier than his girlfriend trying new things. Especially if they are the things he has an interest in. No guy likes a girl who complains that he is spending more time with his friends than her. By getting involved shows your open to sharing your guy with other people. So maybe your not the girl that everyone knows, at least now you know how to be everything but inconspicuous.
I love how you gave examples of awkward situations, but how you can turn them into a great night !
ReplyDeleteDifferent activities to get involved in was a plus :)
