Hey, people. I'd really appreciate any advise. There's this guy in my school that I've seen around. I want to get to know him because he seems nice and, lets face it, pretty cute. Trouble is I've never spoken to him before and we don't share friends. I tried to have one of my friends talk to him for me but she couldn't before he left. How can I get to know him without seeming weird, can anyone help?

Just smile when you do see him, so you seem friendly. I don't know any ways to approach guys, but I hope that helps.

You are the apple...






The easiest way would be to look for a common interest, but if you cant find any, then at the moment I dont have much advice for you. I shall return if i can think of any other ideas.





and I am your core.

just try to stick around, smile at him, but not so much it's creepy. also try to get to know him better and see if you really do like him, if you realize you do; just let whatever happens happen. and another thing, try to make sure he likes you too, if he avoids you, or doesen't smile back, or doesen't say anything back even if you just say hi; just leave and give up then, not completely cause you never know what'll happen, but back off in that case smile good luck

A couple of these were mentioned but here's the list of things to work on:

- Smiling at him at every passing. Keep it friendly, keep it open.

- Common interests, so if you ever come close or bump into eachother, you can possibly bring up the topic, even for a sentence or two. It helps instill that initial impression.

- Try to go out of your way just that little bit to pass by him, and say hello. There is no harm in saying hello. Again, keep it friendly, keep it open.

- After a while, there should be a time to strike up a conversation. It might even bode well to go out of your way and run into him just to talk or ask him what his name is (even if you already know it!) because small talk is the KEY to getting to know someone!!

I hope this helps. Try it smile And good luck.

People often stutter or look like a fool when they're so nervous about messing up. So your only issue is to relieve this nervousness when talking to him for the first time. Well, as people like to say, alcohol is your best friend in these situations. But since you're in school you're probably not of legal drinking age. There is a legal, safe way to get the same effects to help you come over nervousness.

Take really deep, long breaths. DON'T hyperventilate. Just really deep long breaths. While you're doing this, don't think about talking to him. Just concentrate on breathing. Do this until you begin to feel lightheaded or silly. Then, when the opportunity presents itself, walk up to him and say hi. Don't wait too long, or you will lose the feeling. Tell him just how you feel right then and there. Be really open and honest. Most guys will really appreciate the openness and act the same way in return. Then ask him out to some place that day or for tomorrow. Best do it on a Thursday or Friday.

Also, if he reacts like, "ಠ_ಠ wtf is wrong with you," insist that you're being serious. Many guys tend to react like that because their first instinct is that it's a joke, and the girl's friends are hiding around the corner, listening and giggling. To prevent that from happening, try and isolate him. Don't talk to him on the phone. That will only arouse that suspicious as anyone could be listening on another line.

Well, I don’t really have much experience with guys....But basically all my friends are guys sooo maybe I could help.
Well if you want a guy to like you....Then be yourself, but what i’ve seen around these days are perverts, guys may seem cute and nice on the outside but sometimes thats not who they really are. I’ve been in that situation and nah, it didn’t work out too well....He was a jerk and left me for my sister. So! what i’m saying is be careful with who you have feelings for....Get to know him first, you maybe shy but find a way to break out of the shell that keeps you away. TALK, SOCIALIZE, MAKE BE ACQUAINTANCE, THEN SNATCH HIM UP! Thats basically all I have to say.

              This is how it goes --
              Try to make yourself known, say hi to him a couple of times, dazzle him with a smile. I usually just talk a little loud in the hallways to get him to notice me and get a laugh at the same time. Be yourself, and if that's not how you are, loud, then try to get in a conversation if one of your friends and him are talking. That's what I usually do, works awesomely.

tch, you just go up to him and start talking not caring if he thought you were cool or not. Heck even be flirtatious sweet cheeks wink
