Question Posted Wednesday August 16 2006, 12:46 am

hi, i'm in need of advice and i really can't ask anyone, because I don't want to make a big deal. I have a crush. I know him from swim camp but we didn't speak much, only to say good job and such. I wanna do some open to all lifeguard classes with him so i can possibly become friends with him. its just that all of his best friends are in lessons with him and i'm like an outsider. i want to get to know him more, but i'm afraid because i'm entering a class with a bunch of strangers. how can i be friends with him, and not be obvious i like him? also i realllllllllllly like him, and i would like a friendship to turn into a relationship.

LiLLi,
You seem to be on the right track already. You share an interest, and that is a great start. When you see him in the class, approach him and say something like "Hey, I remember you from swim camp. I'm LiLLi."
An introduction is really all it takes to start a friendship with someone, especially when you have something in common already.
As far as being obvious that you like him, don't worry about it. In fact, you can just be upfront about it. We are lucky to live in a time when females can be upfront and just ask a guy out. Maybe after introducing yourself, you could invite him and his friends to join you after a class for pizza or a movie or something.
Here is what I would do, and have done with great results before:
Simply say "would you guys like to get together after class sometime?" This will get you aquainted with him and his friends. They will like you for inviting them as well, which will make a good impression on the guy. When you are all out, be friendly with everyone, but don't hesitate to give the guy you like a bit more attention. When everyone is leaving, approach him and let him know you had a good time and ask if he would like to go out without the group sometime. Just be casual about it.
No matter what comes of it, if you do this you will have made a whole group of friends and that will make the class more fun.
Hope that helps. Have fun in the class and let me know what happens.
