There's this guy that I've sorta known last year. We were kinda the people who went "hi" in the hallways and nothing more since we had no classes together.

Well, this year--I still don't have classes with him but I see him at lunch and I get to talk to him during that time just a little. And since in high school there are more school activities going on, I can talk to him at some of them. But overall, I don't get to talk with him much in or out of school. But I really like him because he's silly and funny and cute and just awesome.

At a school play, I made a rash decision and rested my head on his arm and he didn't seem to mind. And so after that he seemed a little bit more talkative to me I guess you can say.

What I'm asking is how can I get him to notice that I like him and how can I flirt with him since I don't see him very often at school?

Well i see that you really like this guy so whatever you do dont wait a long time because he might move on so i want you to go up to him and tell him how you feel about him

My bestfriend is incredibly shy. At school everyone thinks she looks really depressed when she actually isn't and people mention that she seems to be glaring at them, whichc she also doesn't do. I have a friend group that she doesn't really fit in with and so she will hang out with me and my friends, but never talk unless I ask her a question. Even then she just usually says yes or no. She doesn't make much of an effort because she is tired and she feels that everyone hates her.

What can she do to be less shy?

Well she can try by talking into a mirror i know it sounds weird but it will help her learn how to speak her mind and it will help her succeed to get more friends like yourself
