Had a party at my place last night and some random dude came over, friend of friend. So I noticed his class ring and he clearly went to VT and I found out we literally had everything in common. We talked for like 2 or 3 hours and hung out the entire time, totally platonic by the way (I know I've posted some "bicurous" threads here so just know it's 100% platonic). So the party ends and it's like an awkward "nice meeting you, I want to give you my number but don't want to come off as weird so hopefully I bump into you again."
I'm totally in need of some bro-time but can't get over the concept that I might be perceived as weird.
lol, who are you kidding?...just go for it. You are obviously fighting some repressed homosexual feelings. Geez!! I mean whats wrong with saying hey, we need to hang out sometime, how do i get a hold of you? Thats the problem with today's society. I am NOT gay, have never been gay nor do i have any desire to be a gay...so if i meet someone that happens to be a guy and want to add him to my circle of friends, i just ask....please stop deluding yourself and come out of the closet already. Stop worrying about what people think....its your life, as long as you are happy, its all that matters
50 years ago we were allowed to have friends. gloria steinem changed all that. from then on only women could have friends- men were to be isolated and to be controlled. and we bought it 100%. why?
whenever i'm in that situation, i just ask for their email. It's not as personal or intrusive as asking for their phone number or facebook. Or you can also give him your business card. I've got friends who do that constantly to EVERYONE and no one thinks anything of it anymore... self-promotion & brand whoring are perfectly non-sexual.
I don't know exactly how guys do it but it seems like they "just talk" when they just happen to be in the same place doing an activity, until they become close buddies enough where they can just call each other up just to chat and nothing else. My suggesting is to come up with activity to do and invite the guy.
I always try to put myself above these trivial society norms but can't shake it. I have tons of close guy friends too, but this guy was so cool so it's not like I'm incapable of close friendships with dudes, I have some VERY close guy friends, but the thing is I became close to them via military school and fraternity, so I'm not used to making male friends normally, it was usually a shared suffering kind of thing.
