Q: I'm sure you're sick of hearing about these type of problems, but...there's someone at school who I'm really interested in. He has a girlfriend, and I'm fine with that, but I'd like to be closer with him friend-wise. He comes up to me sometimes and occasionally sits with me for long periods of time. The only problem is, I'm extremely shy and have a lot of trouble conversing with him. I usually end up staring into space, wishing I knew what to say, while he talks a little bit. Of course i don't stay completely silent the entire time, but i feel like my lack of interesting things to say is keeping us from becoming real friends. What should I do?

If you're too shy to talk about yourself at first, ask him questions about his life. Not too personal, but general things. Such as, if he's on a sports team, ask him about it. This will show him that your interested in getting to know him. Then, if he says something, just try to relate it to an experience or interest of your own. Soon, it'll become easier to carry conversations.
Hope I helped. (:

You did help! It was great advice and it helped me a lot just to be able to say something to him. I was always afraid I would have to be super witty or clever, but after what you wrote here I just talked to him about normal things I thought he would be interested in and it worked we are going out now thanks to you! :-)
