text: how do you become good friends with male aquaintances(spelling?)? i know a lot of guys from school since i have classes with them & they talk to me & flirt with me a little bit but what i really want is to become good friends with them?  any hints without making it seem like i want to date them?  and how to know if they want to be friends to? i would ask them if they want to hang out, maybe invite one guy to a party where you know everyone and feel safe, rather than going out alone with him.  see what you guys have in common and go from there.
