Many girls have opposite sex friend ! But calling your friend's boyfriend to go to the movies is not as easy as calling one of your girlfriends... Deep down, he may be thinking, “She just invited me to meet or appointed date ?" Exist thin line between date and just meeting friends. Hope this article wikihow will help you to be sure that the date is strictly platonic, in other words, you are just friends!

Steps

1. 1 Eliminate possible misunderstandings or conflicts. First, make sure that you and the guy are good enough friends and that the invitation doesn't look like a date. If you just started chatting with a guy a few weeks ago, then he may think that you are asking him out on a date. But if you've been friends for a few years, this shouldn't be a problem. If your friend has a girlfriend (or if you have a boyfriend) make sure your friend and girlfriend know this is a platonic date.
2. 2 Plan. Don't ask your friend to go with you somewhere in an hour for no reason. Call him when you know he is at home or will be answering phone calls and invite him at least 2-3 days in advance. If you you know that a friend cannot go with you, then do not invite! When you call, have an idea of ​​what you are going to do. However, don't plan everything without your friend, be sure to ask him what time is right for him, etc.
3. 3 How to stick to your plan. Going according to a plan when meeting a guy can sometimes be difficult, but you have to be flexible. Keep in mind two backup plans just in case. And remember that it is not date, so if a friend cancels a date --- don't take it too personally! Be open to other people's ideas that came with you. Don't plan a double date or try to level the playing field. If two of his friends ultimately decide to come and you are the only girl, don't make it a problem. You hang out with them, so you should feel comfortable in their company and you don't even need to play.
4. 4 Be sure to pay for yourself, or have agreed in advance who pays for what. This is not a date, so don't expect your friend to pay the bill! Moreover, it was you who invited him. Today, whoever invites pays, so it would be unfair to expect him to pay anyway. Since this is not a date, everyone has to pay for themselves, or agree in advance. br>
5. 5 Explain to a friend why you want to meet. Is your best friend busy and is he the only one around? You haven't seen each other for a long time? Does he owe you? Etc. Just make sure your friend knows this isn't a date.
6. 6 Let everything look as if the meeting was unique. I'm sure that's exactly the case, but let your friend know it! Don't be rude, but this isn't a date, so you don't have to call a friend and say thank you. You don't need to email him either! Just the next time you see each other, say, "Thanks, it was a lot of fun!" or something different. But don't say, "I would like to meet again!" It sounds strange. You are friends, so you will probably meet again, there is no need to talk about it. Just schedule a new appointment!
7. 7 How to keep your relationship platonic. Relationships don't have to be sexy, passionate, or romantic .Do not spend too much time with your friend, and do not meet with him too often. Spend the same amount of time with all your friends! Avoid too frequent contact. You do not need to constantly call him, write SMS, e-mails. Your friend probably doesn't want to chat with you. so often! Everything is good in moderation…

Tips

• Make sure that if you have a boyfriend or your friend has a girlfriend, they understand that this is not a date! It's just a friendly meeting !!!
• Don't expect the relationship to "grow" into anything more. This article is for JUST FRIENDS, not how to be asked out or how to date a guy. Say it with me ... PLA-TO-NOR-CHES-KIY. Platonic.
• Don't tell too many people about meeting your opposite sex friend. People can and will discuss it, so if you keep the meeting a secret, then you don't have to deal with this kind of problem. Don't give it any more importance than necessary!
• Just act as if one of your friends is nearby. But don't treat your friend like a girl! Otherwise, he will think that you think he is gay (these are strange men). Just have fun with him, but if you have a boyfriend, make sure you don't cross the line.
• Explain to Mom and Dad that guys can be good friends too! Parents do not mind if Sveta or Tanya go to the cinema with you, so why should they be embarrassed that Dima will go with you?
• Just have fun ... but within reasonable limits!

Warnings

• Don't touch your friend too often. Flirting is natural and interesting but again - remember you are not on a date, so constant touching, hugging and holding hands, etc. not really relevant!
