How to Become Friends With a Girl

Whether you are a guy looking for friendly female companionship, or you are a girl trying to increase her circle of friends, it is important to put forth some effort to become friends with a girl. The steps are somewhat difficult, but the reward is worth it. Read on to learn how to become friends with a girl.

Instructions

1. Begin with conversation about something the two of you have in common. If you know she likes the theater or dancing, begin a conversation about that. Show interest in the subject yourself, or ask her for her reasons for enjoying the hobby or passion.

2. Ask questions. When a girl becomes friends with someone she thinks is a good listener, it is usually because they ask questions and allow her to talk about herself.

3. Be supportive. Even if you don't agree with her opinions or what she is saying to you, simply support her views and help to validate her opinion's worth.

4. Figure out her character. Try to understand that girls may share collective traits, but that each girl is different. Stereotyping a girl as having to be an emotional mess or a shopaholic will blind you to realizing her specific traits.

5. Confide in her. To become friends with a girl means sharing emotions and secrets with her. You must be open and honest, and be receptive to her honesty, as well.

6. Laugh with her, not at her. When you become friends with a girl, you must understand when it is OK to laugh at her mistakes. This is usually when she is able to laugh at them, herself.
