Ok .. long story short .. Im a freshie and hes a sophmore. hes new this year. He rides my bus as in four of my classes, and a few of my lunches. I like him. Hes funny. People think hes a retard but i dont. IM not the type of person who cares what people think as long as your happy. Im scared to talk to him.. SOOO SCARED. I cant do it.. i tried and i couldnt walk. Should i get a friend to talk to him for me ? How do i get his sn from him ? Do yooh think if we do start hanging out .. like after we start being friends if he wont like me caz im taller than him ? And also he was in my group for spainsh and when he talked he directed it at me. Do yooh think that could mean he wants to like get to know me ? he doesnt know many people since hes new. I need as much as advice as yooh can give me. If yooh do help me ill give yooh a cookie. And a hug. I know i seem weird in this but im really tired lol. I REALLY like him. what do i do ? i know i need to get the nerve to talk to him eventually.. but .. how ?

Would you feel weird or freaked out if a guy you've seen before started talking to you? Probably not. First talking to somebody you don't know is never an easy thing. The same problems always come up: What do I say: When do I talk to him; What if he/she doesn't talk back.
I would suggest to start off with just that. A question. Ask him a simple question, about anything: Hey do you know when lunch is; When is this assignment due; Can you help me with this and that; What time is it. If you ask him outside of class, you should probably say something like 'oh hey I know you, your in my blah blah class(es), I hate that class'. Nothing wrong or too difficult with asking him a simple question like that, and it can be anywhere. It won't show that you like him or anything.
You could also try and talk to him as if he was already one of your friends. That might be a bit more difficult, but you are the one who has to talk to him, not one of your other friends. As for getting his SN, just ask and have a pen and paper handy. Give him yours too. Yeah it's that easy, just randomly ask. Don't expect the worst to happen either, like him ignoring you. Generally speaking, people aren't like that, and a majority of new people are open to meeting new people.
As for him not liking you because you are taller...are you kidding? When has that ever stopped anybody. He doesn't have to like you to be just friends: because by the way, thats how most relationships start out.
So don't expect the worst, and in the words of Nike: do it. Maybe the reason why he hasn't talked to that many people is because he feels the same way and is nervous too. So if you are the one who takes the first step and breaks the ice, things will probably be better. Hope that helped and good luck. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]
