Welcome to Gaia! ::

A lot of your responses might be something like this; "He's to old for you" or "You're not old enough," but I am very mature for my age. As a matter of fact, I get along with kids 2 years older than myself, rather than kids my age. So now, on to my situation.

I'm currently a freshman in highschool(9th grade), and I take German. There is this very very very cute guy in my German class. He's a junior(11th grade), and I think I'm developing a crush on him. I know he plays guitar for a metalcore band, and that his name is Nathan. I think that we have made eye contact in class a few times, but maybe that's just hopeful thinking. I complimented his shoes the other day, and he gave me a huge smile, and said thank you. I'd like to try and flirt with him and try to be great friends with him. I'm too shy to say anything really. So any flirting tips, please and thank you?

id say.....smile at him a lot, and always be kind to him.....sure, complements are good too, but dont over do it.....try to become freinds.........like try to get into a cnversation with him and stuff....

Two years isn't that big a difference first of all. I think if he were a senior, I might be a little iffy.

Anyway, I was in German class for two years of high school. A good way to flirt with him (I know because I did this with two other guys I crushed on in high school before I started dating my current fiancé) is to ask him to be your partner to study. Or if you need an in-class partner, ask him. You guys can be trying to work out how to write and say the correct words and terms, and it's fun when you mess up and get all silly. Well, something fun I did with my partners in that class, was try to figure out how to say cuss words or really stupid things in German. We would ask our teacher how to say idiot. He was a funny guy who would tell us, and we would say that to one another. We also learned how to say "You don't exist" in German, which is "Du existierst nicht." That became an inside joke for us. When were in class or if we saw one another in the hall, we would yell that or the cuss words in German. We're friends nowadays, but we still do it. Inside jokes are a really good way to make what you have something special that he thinks about. Ph, also, in a jk tone, you could say "Ich liebe dich!" (I love you in German) and bat your eyes. Also, just being partners in general is a good excuse for you to be near him. Try casually asking him how his day's going or if he knows about a certain band you like. I asked the guy I was flirting with if he knew about one of my favorite bands, Smashing Pumpkins, and it started a great conversation where we learned a lot about one another. I would also tell him I loved the color of his pants so I could stare at his legs. I even used to put glitter glue on his arm. It's similar to wrestling. He tried to get away from me and I got to chase him. It's fun like you're back in kindergarten. Hopefully these are some fun, creative ways that help you out.

Haha, me and you are alike with the whole getting along with older people thing ^^

But, yeah. Pretty much everything that's been said.

Thank you all so much (:
I saw a lot of things that I could try. (:

I really liked this one. I miss my childhood, and this is a way I can get back to it. Not only that, I could totally see us doing that glitter glue thing (: Thanks.

First off i dont think yer too young... forget wut other people think about that. Another thing like other people have been saying smile. If he tries to talk to you act all cool and stuff, but morstly just try to be your self. The best thing to do is to make friends and hang out after school or something, that would make your relationship (bein friends) stronger and we will trust you and eventually ask you out biggrin
