Okay, so I've met some interesting friends (people with interests I find intriguing, that is.) And they are friends , mind, not just acquaintances. But unfortunately, I find myself having trouble socializing with them for a few reasons:
1) I don't know their other friends.
2) I only know a little bit about their interests, besides what they are (vampires, zombies, anime, etc.)
3) I'm in high school and we have different periods and lunches
a) I have two friends in two classes...but I can't whisper to them and pay attention in class no matter how hard I try
b) Due to the fact that only one friend has my lunch and I don't know his other friends, I'm entirely dependent on him being there. If he's absent or even if he's going somewhere else briefly, I don't know what to say to his other friends. Plus which, he can be unintentionally offensive (not to me, but in general) a lot, which makes it hard sometimes if he's being, say, homophobic (I have lesbian friends)
4) I find it very hard to call them, and they never call me (only email, but of course email can be rather slow)
So I know I like these people (or at least some of them) but I don't know how to connect with what little time afforded me in class, and getting together over the weekend almost never happens because my friends are usually busy and it's so hard for me to organize get-togethers anyways. Any suggestions?
