Maybe you remember me. I posted a while back about having a problem with this one guy. Unfortunately, nothing happened there. sad
Well, there's this guy in one of my classes that I think is a year older than me. He's like me: shy, quiet, likes to joke around and laugh. I think I like him. But we're not really friends or anything and I feel kinda awkward about liking him so soon.
Anyway, does anyone have any advice on how I could get to know him? Starting from square one, literally. I don't think he even knows my name yet.
But the good thing is that I really think I have a chance with him because he's, well, not popular (for lack of a better word). That sounds bad.
So, does anyone have any advice on talking to him and getting to know him better?

I'm not too good with that, but try with just simple hi's from time to time? And maybe even help each other with work, depending on the class. :3

Yeah, just meet him. It might sound like it's easier said than done, but once you're over the first hurdle, it'll be fine. The easiest way to meet someone is to go over, smile and introduce yourself. You're both in the same class for something, right? Use that as a starting point. For example, "The homework was terrible last week, wasn't it?" and things like that.

There really isn't much that you could do to mess it up really. I've seen someone walk up to a girl he never met and said 'So... are those Sketchers?' and then ended up dating for a loooong time.
Just possibly try to find some common ground with him, and bring that up. Best of luck to you!

You could pull a Mitch Hedberg and say "Hey, Peter Frampton, do you like toast too!?" Except replace Peter's name with his.
While there are certain tricks to getting a boy to talk, the best way is to just walk up to him after class one day and ask him a random question. When I first met Kate, I asked her "if you were a taco stranded on a desert island, would you eat yourself?"

National events are, by own experience, the best conversation starters. I managed to start a conversation with this girl I'm kinda attracted to this Tuesday, because Mexico's national day is in September 16, and all the people of Guadalajara leave towards any nearby town for a lot of booze and party; some of them, like her, choose to stay inside the town and party their asses off at someone's house.
As you can guess, my conversation started with "What'cha did on Friday?".
Vacations are usually a great conversation starter too, unless you're in college, because each semester is a full reset of all your classmates, and you just don't have the time to become friends with them. In this case, you'll need a lot of excitement in your life, so you can have enough storiest to tell.

You could try what I tried once...
Then again, I'm pretty lame ^^;
If you see him in the halls say "hey aren't you in my ___ class?"
Or find out if any of your friends are friends with him and get introduced.
I'm not very good with guys,
so you might not want to take my advice.

For starters I would just give him a little eye contact and a smile when he's in your direction. Of course don't keep too much eye contact because that would be kind of creepy. With this subtle technique you let him know that you've noticed him and would be friendly to talk to him. Make it possible to have situations where you're available for him to approach, if he doesn't, then I'd do what Soleq says to. xd Not only does it start a conversation, but it lets him know that you're funny and friendly enough to keep into a conversation. Now you've got him interested with your quirky sense of humour as well as that subtle flirting.
One thing you do want to avoid: I don't know your flirting style, but don't get too ditzy trying to seem cute or vulnerable to him. Don't play with your hair too much and don't do butterfly kisses or wink at him too much, he might think you have an eye infection. xp

He's just a person. There are lots of people in the world. So if you mess up, which is actually fairly hard to do unless you shoot him in the face, then there are lots of other people to talk to.
Try this - "Will you go out with me friday night?"

You all are really helpful.
