I want to spend more time with him. How?

Question

I have a really lovely friend who is a guy and want to spend more time with him but don't know what we can do. I work with him but only for a couple of hours each evening. We have been to the movies a few times and for milkshakes at weekends but cos we haven't got much money we can't do it all the time. There is no parks or anything round our way for us to go for walks and everyother place you need money. I'd love to have him round my place to watch a dvd or go round his but he says he's embarrssed about people judging him, he's had his confidence affected by past problems and is just getting back on his feet. He has no family around and only one other good friend and he's always saying he's bored. I just want to show him that i care about him by spending quality time with him but it's so awkward. Is there any things you can suggest?

Answer 1

Say you are going shopping and ask if he can help you find a suitable set of screwdrivers--act like you don't know a thing about screwdrivers--or whatever other 'guy thing' that he knows a lot about. When you act all clueless about something he'll happily try to show you how much he knows about that and thusly build up his confidence.
Going to a movie is what commited couples do--that's one of the worst dates to go on because you are watching the movie instead of paying attention to each other.
If he's bored ask him what he likes to do to keep himself occupied. Maybe you can drop some suggestions in when you are talking to each other? Don't be obvious about it though.

Answer 2

ask him to come to your place sometime and then go over to his house every once in a while to spend more time together.

Answer 3
