My friend gets all the attention from guys!

-

Q:

My friend is so confident around guys, so they give her all of their attention. I feel like the quiet friend in the background who no one notices!

We’ve been there, Hannah! Here’s the thing: Not every guy is

A:

attracted to the attention-grabber. We know it doesn’t feel that way, but there are guys who are just as introverte­d as you are. Getting guys’ attention is easier for your friend, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible for you! A great way to find guys on your level without becoming an overnight extrovert is to get involved with things you’re passionate about. Check out the youth activities in your town’s recreation center or a club at school. You’re bound to gravitatio­n toward guys like you!
