I'm new to this, so forgive me if this isn't the appropriate forum for this.

I'm a really calm person by nature. Stuff that makes my friends freak out and have massive hormone attacks doesn't really bother me. I guess most of them are really overdramatic, but even when I was younger I was just 'chill', for lack of a better term. I'm very independent and don't really like the whole social scene very much, but I'm secretly a huge closet romantic. Like, HUGE. A big mushy pile of goo.

So naturally it freaked me out a little when all of my friends start telling me I act like a guy. ALL the time.

I guess I kind of ignored it at first, but then it started bothering me. Is it weird to be compared to a guy? What does that even really mean? Am I never going to get a boyfriend now?

And then what REALLY freaked me out was the other day when a really close friend of mine said that if I were a guy she would date me. And it wasn't even like, jokingly either. She just said it in the middle of a conversation we were having like it was totally normal. I think it's one of the only times I've ever overreacted about anything, but what do I do? Should I try and act more girly or something? What really constitutes as girly? Or should I just not worry about it?

Thanks to anyone who just read all of that. I know it's annoying.

ok it must be very confuzzling but just be your self and have fun.

Ok, you sound pretty tom boyish to me. Dont worry, that's no problem at all. If you don't like what Is being said then perhaps you could try and act a little more girly. But it won't be a problem in the long run. Just have fun and enjoy life.

well, if you decide to try to act like a girl, heres a few tips-

come off as completely insane to most of your guy friends.
change moods as frequently as possible.
change your opinions of people almost as frequently.
obtain an enormous interest drama.
keep track of EVERY relationship in your school.

kidding, of course...

You seem to have found a balance between guy and girl. Both guys and girls have their own problem. Guys (generally) think about sex every waking moment, but are also usually calmer and more reasonable. Girls (generally) are hormone drama machines that freak out over little things and are unable to control their emotions. You seem to have found the balance of the coolness and reasonability of a guy while keeping the sexual maturity of a girl. Don't change.
