<p>A girl I was talking to the other day asked me if I have friends. I felt somewhat confused by her question because everyone has friends, so either the girl is really dumb for asking that question or she suspected that I am the type of guy who doesn't have friends.</p>
<p>Is that a question girls normally ask guys? If it isn't common, what does it mean?</p>
<p>That’s hard to answer in the context of just that one sentence. Did she have a snide tone? Was she hoping to expand her own circle of friends? Was she implying that she was interested in you, but she didn’t want to “take” something that was already spoken for. Are you new to the school? Most likely, she was probably trying to figure out which group of kids you identify with. (jocks, preppy, artist, cool, smart, smart & nerdy, etc,)</p>
<p>the girl thinks you’re a loser</p>
<p>I agree with limabeans-its all about the tone she used.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t know.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It didn’t seem like that’s where she was getting at.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s possible. But if that’s what she wanted to find out she could have phrased her question differently.</p>
<p>Does she seem like a joking/slightly sarcastic type? Maybe she’s just goofing around and/or flirting. What was the context?</p>
<p>Maybe she got the impression you were desperate and was trying to figure out your situation (WHY is he desperate?). Maybe she isn’t so interested in you, but wants to check out your friends. Maybe she IS interested in you, but has friends who are looking for guys, too. I’m just guessing :). I don’t know if it’s normal or not for a girl to ask that question.</p>
<p>what did you say</p>
<p>^
I’m interested in how you responded.</p>
<p>My first impression was that she wants to know if you have any friends she could get with. However, it depends entirely on her tone, as has been stated. I’d also like to know how you responded. You could have simply said, “Yes/No, why do you ask?”.</p>
<p>Lmfaooooo.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Very easygoing. Not sarcastic at all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Maybe goofing around, but I doubt she was flirting. The context was a random conversation at my job.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wasn’t hitting on her. But you are right, maybe I seemed desperate or needy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“yes” </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I could have asked her why she was asking that question. The way I answered her question didn’t really make the situation less awkward.</p>
<p>you recently created another thread asking if it was weird that you’ve only made 1 friend in 4 years of college, so i’m guessing you’re not that social and maybe it comes across in your personality? I’m guessing you come across as kind of introverted and slightly awkward in real life…i mean, i don’t know you, but based on your posts in this thread and the other thread you made, I’m just guessing…</p>
<p>of course, the girl could’ve just been kidding and you didn’t pick up on it. We can’t really tell you that. don’t overanalyze it! just try to be fun and friendly around her, and see if she likes you. if not, just move on, no big deal.</p>
<p>It was a rhetorical question, she already knows you have no friends.
It’s not a good thing if a girl thinks you have no friends.</p>
<p>If I am ever asked that question again I guess I’ll lie and say that I have lots of friends. Maybe I should also act like I am surprised at the stupidity of the question and be like “yeah, of course I have friends, you ■■■■■■!”</p>
<p>Maybe her question was a more clever form of, “do you have a girl friend?”</p>
<p>She was probably just playing around with you.</p>
<p>post a picture of yourself OP and i’ll let you know why she said that hahaha</p>
<p>my guess is it was a hint – go talk to them and leave her alone</p>
<p>I won’t beat myself up because my appearance and personality reveal a truth about my social life. That girl can think whatever she wants.</p>
<p>what was the last sentence she or you said, before this question…</p>
<p>seems like we may be seeing this out of context.</p>
