Ok well I like this guy, whose name is Frankie. Frankie is a total skater dude, and I’m well... kinda preppy. The only reason I’ve really talked to him is cause he sat by me in a couple of my classes. When I talked to him he was really nice.. and sweet. I finally realized I liked him. I really don’t know if he likes me because he's so different from guys I normally like.. And so different from me. Anyway we had this little inside joke thing where we always like wave to each other outside of this one class we have 2gether... and yea.. He always smiles and waves when he sees me and he is so nice. I mean from what I can tell I barely know him though... it really stinks. Yesterday he switched some classes and now I have no classes with him... I’m really upset. It ruint my whole day yesterday anyway.. I really want to talk to him and just get to know him better. But there are some problems... I’m pretty outgoing but I can be really shy around guys and stuff.... Frankie is totally different from me, and a skater dude... most of his friends totally hate me.... And most of my friends don’t really know him (and I wont tell them who he is)... and I have no classes with him. He still waves to me though. I need advice on how to like talk to Frankie and like really have a conversation with him or just play around. I’m pretty creative, but with all the problems I dunno what 2 do.... And I’m just not very bold when it comes to guys... please help me find a way to talk to Frankie! (PS. in case it helps, I'm 13)

wow. at least you had the guts to talk to 'frankie'.u said u were creative, which is a total plus. use that creativity to talk to him. if he's a total sk8er, then think of sumtin. go online and research tricks that sk8ers do. the next day, go up to him and ask him, have u ever done this trick before. just try to make conversation with him. or simply when u see him waving at u, tell him to go over there where u are and talk to him. at least to hang out. good luk and im here for u.

I also had the same thing as you! well what i did is tell your truly best friend that you know wont tell on any of your other friends that you like frankie and ask her to ask frankie if he likes you but tell her not to run up to him and be like do you like (your name), or you could try to get to know him better. Walk up to him and just be like "hey! whats up?" and talk about school, or anything. you can try to give him signs that you like him. flirt with him. this is just a thought but maybe you could switch classes to be in the same ones as him, but i think its to late! well i hope it works out for you but try all that!
lascivious answered Saturday October 16 2004, 11:23 am: hMm... when he waves to you just walk up to him and stop him (being late to a class once shouldn't hurt anything) and tell him you really wanna talk to him and give him your screen name or get his or something like that. Then talk to him and get to know him better and see if you still like him.
It shouldn't matter whether your friends like him or not if their only reason is because he's different from you guys. Everyone deserves a chance. If your friends have a valid reason like they know something not cool about him then you might wanna take that into consideration. Don't lose your friends over a guy. His friends probably don't really know you either so maybe try to talk to some of them if you have any classes with them but don't talk about Frankie lol. Just be nice to them and stuff and then if Frankie likes you they'll probably put in a good word. [ lascivious's advice column | Ask lascivious A Question ]
ABull answered Friday October 15 2004, 7:08 pm: It sound like a difficult problem, but first let me tell you this...most girls, at one time or another, will be attrackted and "crush" a bad boy. there is just something about a bad boy that is REALLY hot!! and plus, "skater" boys are also some of the most polite and nice. and he sounds like he is really nice to you, and possibly like you. the thing about the whole freind situation-that can be a toughy. freinds are very important when it comes to a situation like this, but they dont have to be the MOST important. try to find ways to hang out with him without your freinds. but,you dont have to change for your freinds. just be yourself. he will have to like you for who u are...thats the most important thing!! hope i could help!

AquamarineRose answered Friday October 15 2004, 5:09 pm: Please don't refer to people as skater dudes.But if you really want to talk to this guy you shouldn't have to have an excuse.He waves at you in between classes make an attempt to talk about something he's mentioned.For example music,skateboarding,or whatever the hell he does. I'd say wait two weeks or so then get the hallway conversations out of the way and move on to the "Want to do something this weekend," question. Eventaully he'll get the hint that you like him(If he hasn't already). [ AquamarineRose's advice column | Ask AquamarineRose A Question ]
xokaylanicoleox answered Friday October 15 2004, 4:25 pm: Well, next time you see him in the hallway do that whole hand wave thing yall do and just to let you know I'm kind of preppy myself and I dated a skater guy. All my friends think he's pretty cool once they got to know him and meet him because he goes to another school. I think that you should just one day when you do that hand wave thing just be like so how's your day been? What class are you going to .. etc.? Then eventually after yall have talked a few days or a week or so be like hey do you want to teach me how to skate board sometime .. since he is a skater and then hang out with him. It will give you a chance to get to know him a little better and if he likes you, he might just end up kissing or hooking up with you. Good luck! Hope I helped! -Kayla

xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday October 14 2004, 5:47 pm: Well if you know that he's a skater, talk to him about skateboarding. Ask him who's his favorite skateboarder. That sucks that his friends don't like you. To me, it's really not a big deal about if he's skaterish and you're preppy or whatever. A person is a person, it all matters on personality. There is this guy in my school that was like "gothic" if you wish, he'd dress in black, he had piercings, baggy pants, he'd listen to hard core metal music... everything like that. Lots of people were scared of him though because he looked rather... scary. He's the sweetest guy in the world though! He's a really good friend of mine and we are total opposites. His best friend is more of the ghetto type and listens to hip hop and rap. Go figure! The key thing to approaching a guy is CONFIDENCE. Talk to him about different sports like baseball, soccer, basketball, etc. Just be confident and don't care if his friends hate you. Always try to smile, there is this thing that girls do that I KNOW guys love. When you're talking to him look down to the floor and then just look up with your eyes and then look at him and smile. Guys think it's the cutest thing. Hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
