Question Posted Saturday September 3 2005, 9:05 am

hey there's this guy that's new and he goes to my middle school now. he's really cute and nice and funny and talented, and i really like him. a lot of other people in my grade like him too, but i've never talked to him before because i have no classes with him, and during lunch he usually goes to a club. i want to get to know him more, and i want to be able to talk to him. my x wanted to know who i liked, and i told him, and he said he would hook me up with him for me, but i told him not to. the next day my x told me he asked the guy that i like if he likes me, and he said no. i was really sad about that. is there anything i can do so that he'll start to like me? and is there anything i can say to him if i ever have the chance to see him? im really shy, and i'm not so good at talking to people that i like and i've never even talked to before.
please help!!!!! i rate high for good answers!!

Alright, many people have this problem. It is hard to talk to someone you like when you haven't even said one thing to them in the first place. All I have to say is: How well do you know him? What do you like about him? You obviously think he is cute and only know general things about him, but you don't KNOW him. You have a crush on him, but you can't truly like him for who he is without getting to know him. And I don't want to sound rude but you made a HUGE mistake telling your ex about who you liked. One: It is none of his buisness who you like, and Two: He shouldn't have said anything to the guy you liked in the first place, since you told him not to. You should ALWAYS keep your crushes to yourself. Now the guy already knows you like him and he has already made his opinion about you without ever getting a chance to know you. So it is his loss, not yours. He says he doesn't like you so there is not much you can do, because you can't "make" someone like you. They either do or they don't. If you continue trying to get him to like you, you might come off as creepy or stalkerish, and that will only make things worse. I'll give you a real life example from my own experience. I was in 7th grade and I had a HUGE crush on this sort of popular guy. He was out of my league and I was not real shy, but I had trouble talking to guys I liked. So one day he got an assigned seat next to me in class. This was the only class I had with him, so I was excited. We gradually started talking, starting off with me asking for an eraser, and then a piece of paper... Well I could tell he kind of liked me but he never admitted it. When it was just him and me I KNEW he liked me. But when he was around his popular friends, I was invisible to him. I held on to him even though I knew he wasn't right for me because I liked him SO much and I wanted to make him like me. Well one day I told one of my guy friends who I liked and it got around. The next day EVERYONE knew. He said he didn't like me at all and then he started going out with this real popular girl. It hurt me really bad because I thought I didn't measure up to him and I wasn't good enough. People kept calling me his stalker and it really bothered me. Well a year passed and I got over him. I realized that I deserved better. I was not the one with the problem, I was not the one who didn't measure up... HE was. And ironically guess who started liking me in 8th grade and 9th grade? He did. And did I give him the light of day? Nope. Because he was immature and not worth it. So all I'm saying is don't take any bull shit from this guy. He said he doesn't like you. Whether it is the truth or not, it doesn't matter. It is time to move on. You can get way better and if he really got to know you I'm sure he would really like you. So try working on your social skills so you aren't so shy. The more you break out of your shell the more people will notice what an amazing person you are. If you see someone you haven't talked to before and they look friendly, strike up a conversation. Make yourself known. People will realize that your not the "shy girl" anymore. Wear clothes that make you feel confident. Style your hair a new way that will get you noticed. Make a dramtic change to how you do your make up. These outside changes will make people look at you. The next step from there is to become more outgoing. If you look friendly and outgoing people will WANT to talk to you. So just focus on becoming less shy, and forget about this guy for right now. If it is meant to be it will happen. I hope my advice helped and if you ever need anything note my inbox. Good Luck! ~Sherah

OK FIRST of all, all those people that said "Blablabla dont listen to your X" don't listen to them, is your x a good guy? would he lie to you? think about that before you believe him. If he is he wouldn't lie to you. And don't get upset because this guy doesn't like you, if you don't know him, then you still have a chance. Yall can get to know each other and start talking who knows what will happen. And im sorry but you cant just make somebody like you. It doesnt work that way, you can try, and sometimes itll work. but you cant just say something and make them like you.

your ex probably likes you and said that the guy doent like you because he wanted to go out with you again..this is going to sound stupid but stay away from him because since you said other people like him and he will think you are the mysterious kind of person and will want to get to know you more.. or you can just say hi to him or ask him for help on something

BecauseYouLivex3 answered Saturday September 3 2005, 11:14 am:
Ok I wouldn't belive your EX. Because he may still like you. And get mad if this guy likes you. So you should have asked one of your friends who you deeply trust. So what you do is get to know him more. And let him get to know you more. But if you EX wasn't lying and he really doesnt like you im not sure theres much you can do because you cant make someone like you. It just happens. But what you do is show him your best qualities. Talk to him. Just go up to him. I understand your shy I am to times. But if you really want him to like you than go up to him just introduce yourself (even if he knows you already). And talk about stuff and once you guys get to know each other he may start to like you to. And you guys will hit it off great ! But once you get to know him and his qualities you may not even like him anymore !!! Good Luck & Hope I helped <3

first of all..exes are NEVER good..i woudnt even belive him..if i were you..if you get really bold you can ask him yourself..it would be intresting if he really did like you, and your ex lied because he doesnt want you getting with him..but even if he doesnt like you..it really doesnt matter..you'll move on..it sounds like a big crush that'll fade in a while thats all..just remember you can't make someone like you, just be yourself and if someone doesnt like you, than they arent worth getting to know

Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday September 3 2005, 10:02 am:
Well that was wrong of your X! Anyway, don't be upset that the kid doesn't like you. He may feel like he just doesn't know you enough. Maybe join a club that this kid's in... and you'll have time to talk then with no one's interuptions. In a club or something, you can just say hi to him one day or crack a joke or something. And as for your X, ask him nicely to stay out of your business, and whatever you do, don't keep telling him important stuff about you! He seems kinda annoying and hes not really good for you to be talking to anyway! Good Luck with this other kid.... just know he might be difficult to get especially with all these other girls that are into him. Really cute guys KNOW when their cute...... meaning it goes right to their head ;-D.

Well why don't you just start out by saying 'Hi' when you see him. Then graudly start talking more. Then when you see him whereever say "Oh do you know what time it is?" Then after awhile of asking quick little qusenins then talk to him sometime! (I know it may be scary!) Go up to him and ask if he is in any sports. That might start a conversation. Then maybe if you don't be shy and be yourself around him you guys could be friends then even alittle bit more than friends . . .
