I'm 15 years old and I've never had a boyfriend. Pathetic, I know. The main problem people keep telling me is that when i like a guy i tend to be shy around him. I like this one guy right now and he knows i like him thanks to one of my big mouth friends. We've talked only maybe twice before he found out i liked him but thats the only time we've ever talked. When i see him in the halls he looks at me...what does that mean? How can i get him to like me without coming on to him as a stalker?
thumble answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 8:26 am: I know a guy who's about to turn 21 and has never had a girlfriend. He's a great guy and there's no reason for him to not snag a chick, but it's just not happening for him. Don't think you're pathetic because you're 15 without a boyfriend.
Anyway to the point! If you talked to him twice online you really haven't gotten to know him well enough to know if you like him. I suggest just talking to him some more. You don't have to flirt or come on to him, just talk. If you're interested in him, and he's interested in you, then start thinking about moving on to bigger and better things. If you're shy that's just something you have to work through, but seriously, you shouldn't like him so much to make you feel that way, if you do you're only going for looks or reputation rather than actual compatibility, and that's bad.
So in summary: Talk. And don't feel like you need to rush into a relationship just because everyone around you seems to be doing it. You'll make better decisions if you take your sweet time. [ thumble's advice column | Ask thumble A Question ]
karenR answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 12:55 am: i would get online and talk some more if possible.Maybe you can get a hint about what he feels.
If he's looking at you could mean he's checking you out. So long as he isn't giving you dirty looks or something i'd say that he doesn't find the fact that you like him horrible or anything!
Talking to him at school would be perfect. If you're to shy though, go back to talking to him online.Once you feel he is friendly enough towards you ask him how he feels about going out or something.
partygurl24 answered Monday March 28 2005, 11:55 pm: If he only looks at you, and no other girl in the hallway, then he might just like you. Although, I think that you shouldn't go out of your way to impress him or make him notice you. Act yourself because that's probably the personality that he has began to like. Talk to himmore on the internet. If you see him passing by in the hallways then wave at him with a shy smile (without showing your teeth, just your mouth). Get to know him more, and you guys might become good friends that hang out which coon sooner develop into a relashionship. I hope I helped!

iggyl27 answered Monday March 28 2005, 10:05 pm: it means he may be interested...you could talk to him about alot of stuff when u see him in halls like how was that test or did u hear the homework assignment or what you guys did over the summer [ iggyl27's advice column | Ask iggyl27 A Question ]
qotsa369 answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:57 pm: First of all, your not pathetic. Second, just smile at him. Then after you've done that for a while, walk up to him and just say 'hey'. [ qotsa369's advice column | Ask qotsa369 A Question ]
siozeegreat answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:47 pm: Believe me, you're not pathetic, I'm sixteen and still haven't had a boyfriend, and that's okay, because if I did have a boyfriend in the past, he probably would have been a complete prick.
He probably looks at you in the halls because he knows you like him, and he's probably thinking "dayum, why won't she talk to me and ask me out?" I think you should just straight out do it, get to know him a bit, and then ask him out.
Unless of course he's really quiet and shy. Just start saying hi and smiling, and then talk to him online and whatnot. Shy guys are harder to get things started with, but they seem like they'd be worth it.
heya answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:27 pm: Well if this guy knows you like him then just act normal around him. Give him a cute smile once n awhile and say hey in the halls. Talk to him more on aim..just try to get to know him better. After awhile..when you kno him better..talk to him in halls..this will break the tension. Maybe if you do this..he will start to like you.
RoadkillSalad answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:20 pm: I would walk up to him and flat out tell him. If he knows already and he looks at you, just tell him and who knows what might happen. He'll probably just want to be with you right then and there, there's nothing wrong with just outright walking up and telling him that you'd like to get together with him sometime if he already knows you. Just stay cool, calm, and controlled. He doesn't have to "notice" you and you don't have to be a "stalker." You can be "yourself" though and that can make all the difference in the world.

TheTeenGirl answered Monday March 28 2005, 9:15 pm: First of all, being 15 and very safe couldn't be further from pathetic. You're still young, and taking your time is a lot better. Second, nobody can tell you what this means, or what a guy is thinking, but since you've talked to him online already, get each other to meet at school, ask to sit together at lunch, be partners in class, talk in the halls. Take a step farther with this guy. I know it sucks that some guys don't care to make the first move, but its probably because hes scared to make the first move. But, don't come on to him quick, like flirting, build a frienship and take everything slow, because then, you're likely to at least be able to talk to him. You need to say, "Hey, why don't we ever talk in school?" Try to get him to meet with you at school. A good excuse would be to call him a nickname, and then maybe when you see him in the halls, call him by it.
