OK, so I know this is a really cliche teenage 'issue' that I hoped I would never have to ask advice on but...here it goes.
I need some tips on how to...well, make close girl-friends. I'm not even talking about the 'romantic partner'-type girlfriend, although that would be nice as well - not that I would specifically be looking to make friends with girls just to date them. I mean, I already have friends that are girls, but only a few, and none of them are ones that I'd really consider close. The closest one I have doesn't even go to my school anymore and works most days, not to mention she's pregnant now, so I'll barely have any time to meet up with her in town or something. Additionally, I want to know how to "get lucky" with girls in bars and clubs, since it seems like my friends barely even have to try to do so - just walk up, start talking about something, and in about eight minutes, they're eating each other's faces.
I do try. I don't try to come across as desperate, but being idle all the time doesn't do any good either. I dance, but that just makes me look stupid. I like to think I clean up pretty good, wearing smart shirts and nice-smelling aftershave. Part of the problem might be that I'm by far the least confident person in my friend group, but I can't be the only one.
So basically, how do I talk to girls that I don't really know?
