Hi, well my names Jen and im 15 and a freshman. In gym class i noticed this boy Matt and he went to my middle school but we never actually talked. But today in gym he said "Hey Jen!" and i dont know i was kind of happy about it. I saw him alot that day and i tried to say hi and smile alot but i know he is extremely shy and everything but he kind of smiled but looked down saying hi. Hes sort of geeky, but i dont think i really care about that but im not sure what to do? Thank you so muchhhh<333
karenR answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 4:01 pm: Let him know you are interested. It sounds like he might be interested in you. Must have took a bundle of courage for him to say hi! I think you should go up and talk to him some more. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

l0stiNth0uGht020 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 9:31 pm: Well, if you like him you should try to talk to him more, get to be friends. Actually, even if you don't like him, try to talk to him more. If you like him, be flirty about it. The better friends you are, the better it'll work. Just start saying hi to him and smiling when you see him, maybe ask him what's up, etc. Conversation will come. :-) Hope I helped!

therocketsummer answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 9:09 pm: Well obviously he has some sort of thing for you. Can you count how many guys say hey to you randomly and actually are excited to see you? I can count one, my boyfriend. You were happy about it, eh? In the back of your mind can you see yourself with him? You don't seem shy, but you said he was. Shy guys are hard to get to. Maybe try approaching <strong>him</strong> in the hallways and make eye contact and say hey. Eye contact is a key because you can't really NOT look at someone giving you direct eye contact. When you talk with him always look at his eyes, and he will look at yours. Why would you want to talk to someone who is looking at the ground, your ear, the locker, anything besides your EYES? Or maybe you can just brush by him in the hallways and then when he looks up turn around and smile and keep walking. Try talking to him more and more and if you actually do like him give him those hints.
HereWithOpenEars answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 8:57 pm: Hi, Im gunna try and help but I am only in 8th grade...just an FYI. Dunno if your okay taking advice from a person younger than you so Im just saying....
It honestly sounds to me like your not sure whether or not you want to try and make this friendship (or more) happen. In my opinion you should just try and hang out with him a bit. You know, don't just say "Hi" ask him how he's doing that kinda thing. You wanna talk to him enough that he gets comfortable. If he's as shy as you say, you may have to work twice as hard and give it some time. "Hey Jen" may have taken him a week to come up with =) It is definatley hard talking to a girl you like. Maybe that's whats up with him....
partyblonde91911 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 8:56 pm: well if you like him enough maybe you should talk to him and get to know him more. And after a while if you really get to know him maybe ya'll might be more than just friends! But your right on one thing it shouldn't matter if hes a little geeky...i hope this helps! Much Lovee <33
If you any more questions just ask me! [ partyblonde91911's advice column | Ask partyblonde91911 A Question ]
ldpinknunu09 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 8:22 pm: well talk to him more and who cares if he is geeky or not dont care what others think just be yourself around him!!
ad0rkable answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 8:09 pm: Do you have feelings for him? He sounds sweet. Maybe he likes you? You should ask. I know it might be embarassing for him and you to talk about it, and maybe you'll only end up as friends, but there's always that new friendship. You might also become closer... and you could get something out of it... A romance, a friendship... who knows!
punkrockprincess answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 7:35 pm: He seems like he likes you by the way he said hi to you. If you really like him, then ask him out! Or just talk to him more and hang out with him and flirt with him. He'd probably ask you out if you made it obvious that you liked him. But if you don't feel like waiting for him, then flirt just a little so he won't be so shocked and ask him out.
shootingstar25xo answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 7:23 pm: I think you should become better friends with him. Get to know him and his personality well. If you think you like him, and he has a good personality and nice sense of humor, flirt with him. Hopefully he likes you back and asks you out. You can always give him hints, saying you like him and stuff. Or you could just ask him out yourself. Hope i helped! my s/n is xobubblegum25xo if you need more advice.

xoxhayley answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 7:13 pm: Well its kinda hard to say, cuz i'm not too sure what YOU want to do lol. If you sort of like him a little then say hi to him tomorrow and talk and progress with everything! It sounds really cute, i think you should be agressive and talk to him. Good luck [ xoxhayley's advice column | Ask xoxhayley A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 7:05 pm: If you like him, nothing like his "geekiness" should matter. Get to know him a little better, and keep flirting and show him you're interested. If he a guy who genuinely cares about you, then I think he's worth your time. [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]
Karen answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 7:04 pm: If you never really talked to him, then you should try talking to him more often. This will help not by that shy and you two can become good friends. It's good that you don't care if he's a geek because that has nothing to do with anything. Get to know him better and talk to him more often. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
ShYbl0nD3 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 7:00 pm: well i would definatly try to talk to him or at least say hi, even at the most random moments. He might have a crush on you or he wants to be friends. Smile at him and maybe act shy too so he knows that hes not the only one. Umm... flirt a little if you want and just be your self. He'll come to you eventually lol.

Laura_Ashanti answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 7:00 pm: You seem pretty confused here - but you shouldnt be. This sounds like a good guy, who really likes you! And, let me tell you that "the kind of geeky shy guys" are the best. Ive had a few of those boyfriends in my lifetime and they were the ones that I remember the most about. But, I admit it is hard to get past that shyness into their "charm." It takes time for both of you to open up even if your not shy. Try to focus on exactly how you felt around Matt - when he said Hi to you, looked at you, etc. Did you feel [well its very hard to explain but Im sure youve felt it before!] a spark? A connection between you both? If you did, try talking to him more & approaching him next time. You said you were happy when he said it, so do you like him or is it just a playful friendship? Ask all of these questions to yourself, then if theyre mostly one than figure out a choice! Try asking him to a movie or somewhere when you can talk/see him outside of school. That could open things up alot. ♥ [ Laura_Ashanti's advice column | Ask Laura_Ashanti A Question ]
