Is it normal to be 'one of the guys', have a crush and not want to be feminine?

I hate females, in general, and I've always tried to be as un-girly as possible - I mean, I am naturally not girly, but I like to deliberately avoid being girly when I can. I can also be very rude at times, either because I intend to or because my excessive sincerity comes off as rudeness.

As a result, I have many more guy friends than girl friends. I'm totally cool with that and I think guys make much better friends than girls. However, it so happens that there was this new kid in class this year who I became friends with, but now have a crush on. So, I feel kind of friendzoned.

I think the advice people would give me would be to be more flirty and feminine to get him to notice me as more than a friend, but I don't want to change, I like being 'one of the guys'...Is that normal? Help in comments, please?

    I have a friend in a similar problem; guys think she's one of the guys, most people think she's a lesbian, but she's really a hetero tomboy with a loving heart. The problem is that when these tomboys ask for advice, people pounce on them and try to turn them into preppy princesses.
    I'd say sneak in a little femininity into your life. Got a big man's Metallica shirt? Wear a form-fitting girl's Metallica shirt. Short hair and no makeup? Grow out your hair and DON'T wear makeup or wear makeup and KEEP your hair short. You don't need to a Kardashian to win a man over, but embrace a little femininity and then a man will find your tomboy traits alluring. Like if you knew how to make cookies (<---a girly thing), but you were a kickass Halo Player or Hockey player...he'd be like SCHWING!!

      I'm with shug on this one. Going for the cock is a very masculine trait indeed.

    There is demand for your personality type in girls. It's just as matter of whether he's one of the guys that's into that...

    You want to get his attention in a non-feminine way?
    * Be straightforward and tell him directly.
    * Spend a lot of time around him so that he gets used to having you around, then tell after a few weeks him if he doesn't crack first.

    That's all I can think of.
    As a guy, those are the methods that I think are most likely to succeed on me.

    Good luck.

    You can have a relationship without changing yourself.

    On another note: look out it's another girl that hates women. I don't know why there is a goddam trend of people hating their own gender but it's pretty abnormal.

    • I'm not following any trend, I've always hated girls. Since I was like, 7 or something.

    If you're close enough to him already, without changing yourself to be someone you know you're not, tell him how you feel, and ask him if he wants to go out to dinner or something. You'll easily get your yes or no.

    Nonchalantly lift some weights in front of him and then talk about how much you love "that deep burn" and talk about beer and sports. Then proceed to get naked for the sports shower room and slap his ass with a wet towel.
    He'll be like butter in your hands. And by that I mean slippery as hell.

    Telling a guy you like him makes him really uncomfortable. Be awre it might change the entire dynamic of the group if you break character and try to snag this guy. Just like it'll make a co-ed group uncomfortable.

    I dont like girly girls either, It's awesome that you can enjoy many of the same things we like!

    I honestly wish they're were more girls like you. One of friends is just like this. She even has an Awesome Plymouth Duster!

    Ooh, dribbling again, lol

    Don't tie yourself down or pretend to be someone you're not just because of an image you've got. You wouldn't want to be a girly-girl because that's not you. Well, don't put on a show pretending not to be interested in him, because right now, that's not you either. You're someone who likes this guy. Be straightforward. It's who you are, and if he likes that, great. If he doesn't, it wasn't going to work anyway.

    You're someone who's straightforward. If what you're thinking is "I don't know how to get out of the friend zone, but I like him", then walk up to him and say "I don't know how to get out of the friend zone, but I like you".

    Take control! Be a man! The next time you see him, the very first thing you need to say is "You're going on a date with me on [Insert day here]. I'm picking you up at [Insert time here]." Then walk away and ignore anything he says because he has no choice in the matter.

    More women need to be like that...I'm tired of having to be the one to make the first move. Quit acting all shy and coy! If you want me, come get me!

    Yeah; I'm the exact same way. Except, I avoid being rude to people.

    Is rudeness a masculine trait?? Anyway just tell him but he probably sees in you more of a friend than a girlfriend.

    • I don't know if it's a maculine trait, but guys seem to like me more because of that and girls hate me more because of that.

        they're just jealous because you seem to get easily with boys while for them it's more complicated.
