I am having an issue with building a friendship past a certain level.?
I have a friend and an acquaintance. The friend is one who is immature, but definitely loves me( but is not in love with me. This is a male we are speaking about). We speak all the time, laugh, and are seemingly best friends. I wish to have a stronger friendship with him and as most children my age do, have him to stay over at my house. This is no issue for him, but my only thought is, what to do. Other than the obvious things such as conversation and being entertained by things(tv, pc), I am at a loss of things to do. Outdoor activities obviously appeal to this age group, but a commonality of spending time with a guy friend, these days, pretains to video games( mindless entertainment). What am I to do? The acquaintance is another boy who is an avid soccer player. He and I find ourselves spending time together at social events. In the majority of situations, we aren't heavy talkers which is why we are drawn together. How do I go about pursuing a friendship with him?
I am not a social ignoramous( though this question points to the contrary).
I am in fear that this dilemma has arisen from my psychopathic nature, as these boys seemingly can't take me anywhere I don't already have access to. I genuinely want to be close with these boys, out of which arises another issue: you cannot have any kind of emotional or intellectual conversation with kids these age without being taken as gay( of which I am not). This has led to my disproportionate number of girl friends.
The pursuit of these two guy friends( one to be more than a friend/acquaintance, the other to be a close friend) will hopefully diversify my friendships gender wise.
