I had a friend that was 18, got breathalyzed and aggressive towards the police who stopped him, and all they did was call our RA to bring him home rofl
also like, most of my best friends are girls. i have no problem talking to girls at all. i just get awkward when i want to bring it to the next level, because i don't know what to do! it seems so much more complexc than just grabbing a bite to eat
If you were to walk into BK tripping on some LSD and you weren't causing any trouble (unlikely on hallucinogens, but using for example purposes) then you would totally be fine even if the police were there. you can't be arrested for a state of being. you only get arrested for the illegal acts themselves
k mean sometimes they breathalyze drunk kids walking home from parties and arrest them lol since its a dry campus but im sure its fine. ill probably go get food
Just pretend they're a male friend if you have no problem normally, don't be afraid to ask questions about them (why their major is their major, what they're really about, what's one of their best experiences, for advice on something) and just see what goes from there. Asking "Want to grab a bite to eat?" like Rutab suggested is literally the most magical phrase in the world.
You're genuinely interested in these people and that's something to embrace and show not cover up.
