I know everyone gets sick of these "I like him, but I don't know what to do!" questions, but I'm desperate here. :o)
Anyway, I like this guy. He's kind of hard for me to talk to, as he is not in any of my classes (so I don't see him often), plus I'm too nervous to start a conversation. What irks me is that he is a friend of one of my (female) friends, and I think he likes her (She doesn't like him like that). He talks to her a lot, and barely ever talks to me. It bothers me so, SO much!!! This (female) friend of mine is such a boy magnet and the guys never take a second glance at me. What should I do? Thanks!
Well, try talking to your "magnetically charged" friend and letting her know that while you love her - a lot - it still bothers you that none of the guys talk to you while she gets all their attention.
You know you're worth more than that. Boys may go for the pretty face, but a true boyfriend will go for what's on the inside - your character, personality, your mind.
My boyfriend... yeah, he once had a thing for my magnetically charged friend. She's... well, she's got a VERY pretty face, as well as a great personality. Anyway, long story short, she hurt him - she wasn't used to sensitive guys - and we became better friends... blah, blah, blah. Ok, point? Point is, he can't like me because I'm pretty. He can't like me because I'm thin. He can't like me because I have a great body. There is no way that he could like me because of how I look. It is simply impossible. But because I realize that there are girls who are so much prettier than I am, and he's here with me, I know that he must be attracted to my character and personality and mind (who knows why, though!?).
I'm sure you're gorgeous, a beautiful girl with her whole life ahead of her, who simply isn't shining to her full potential because she feels lesser than one of her good friends. I know how this is... well, not being a beautiful girl, but being lesser than one of my good friends.
Try being more bold. Try starting a conversation for once. I'm sure you could do it! Just smile and say 'Hi!'. If he doesn't respond... well, I would go up to him and say it more clearly to his face. Ask your boy-magnet friend to cool her guns and help you to get started on a great friendship (relationship, maybe???) with this boy! If she's a good friend, I'm sure she'll be willing to help you. Try asking her to include you in a conversation with this guy.
Some people don't reach their full potential until later, when they realize how much they're worth.
It's better to realize it now -- you are worth so much more than you think!
Now, if I have the story straight... this boy likes your good friend and your friend doesn't like him 'that way' and he talks to her like five times more than he talks to you. Ouch. That hurts. I know how you feel, though.
If you don't already journal, try keeping a diary.

Think about what Anne went through. Her story sounds much like this boy magnet. She must've been a very pretty girl with an astounding personality. But maybe it's not so easy to have guys all over you... maybe it's not as hard as it is to have the guys totally ignore you either.
Just realize, God made a man for you. Maybe his time hasn't come to see who you really are and how lovely and wonderful you truly are.
