thatmusicdude Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I have this Best guy friend, Matt, or at least we consider each other best friends. We have been friends for over a year but sometimes I think we both get confused as to how guy friends act towards one another. I know this sounds dumb, but before we met we both only had girl friends. Neither of us had an actual guy friend to hangout with. So now we both seem like we dunno how to act or what to do? Someone help me out hear. I know it sounds dumb but how exactly do guy friends act as friends? I would think we act the same as any other friendship like my friendship with a girl. We hangout, joke around, talk, stuff like that. But sometimes when I make the attempt, Matt seems a little distant. Like I may joke with my one friend Sarah and push her as a joke and she always pushes me back or I make a joke about her and she throws one back at me. Well with Matt, he rarely has a comeback. He always takes what I do and never gets me back. Am I just to assume their should not be physical contact between guy friends. Any advice you can give would be great.

jt5165 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 i dont think there is anything wrong with physical contact between guy friends. i dont really even think about it.obviously you dont think there is anything wrong with it either so maybe its just him. is he cool with his female friends?

Author thatmusicdude Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yeah, he will joke and interact physically with our one girl friend. But for some reason he does not with me. But then again sometimes I am hesitant to interact physically with him because I dunno how he will take it. I mean their are other things he does as far as being distant and he does it to other friends too. If something irritates him will just have an attitude or keep quite, he never really speaks up when things bother him. I know usually their can be a slight distance between a guy and girl because the one may have feelings for the other but is too nervous. Should I assume maybe this is the case? or could it be that neither of us had guy friends and this is a new experience to us? What should I do? I mean should I talk to him about this? If we are suppose to be best friends I wish we would act like it. Other then this occasional distance we are best friends. Link to post Share on other sites
