OK, i started school and i have all my classes with this guy. Let's call him Joe. well Joe looks at me some, but i dont know if it's enough that he really likes me. Sometimes i catch himn looking at me but not a LOT. I really like him but i'm scared to ask him out. Cuz if we break up hardly, then i have all my classes with this guy that i hate. Soooo...i dont know what to do!! I like him and i really dont want him to say no because that will be really really embarrasing. What do i do?

Go for it. If he says no, you can move on and find someone else. If he says yes and you two break up, so what if he's in all your classes?
You just need to go for it. If you like him as much as you say you do, it shouldn't even be a doubt in your mind.
PANiCxATxTHExDiSCO answered Saturday August 19 2006, 9:06 pm: Okay. You have a few options.
Option A:
If you're friends with any of his friends see if you can get them to find out if he likes you or not. If he says that he doesn't know or if he says no then tell them to say something good about you or something like that.
Option B:
Start talking to him a little bit more and maybe you guys can become friends. Then once you two are better friends you can start flirting with him. He'll end up liking you at some point during your friendship.
Option C:
Get one of your friends to ask him out for you. If he says no, then have a back up story.
Here's an example:
on your way out of the school to leave say,
"Hey Joe. You know how (your friends name)asked you if you would go out with me? Well, I didn't want her to because I don't like you as anything other than a friend. We were mad at each other for something that I did to her and she was just trying to get back at me. So, yeahhh. Well, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow."
and walk off.
whatever you do, do not be as stupid as I was. I was bffs with the guy I liked. we would stare at each other a lot, flirt every time we talked, talked to each other more than anyone, walked together, sat together, etc. I made the mistake of not making a move before him and we kind of fell apart. Now he's being homeschooled and we haven't talked in 3 months.
So, what I'm trying to say is that rather any of those options..a b or c help, you need to make a move. It won't be that bad. Trust me. I've been turned down before and it really wasn't so bad. I just laughed it off, moved on, and now I like another guy.

And then after awhile if you feel comfortable enough to, start lightly flirting a little bit and see if he flirts back. And I know that every girl did this in elementary school and all, but it still works sometimes. Do the 'have a friend ask him who he likes/have a friend ask his friend who he likes' and see if he's crushing on anybody then. Yeah, I can see why you'd be scared too, I would be too. Because I agree, that'd be really awkward going to all your classes with him if he rejected you and all. But hopefully, he won't! I hope everything goes well, and I hope I helped. <3 [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]

It WOULD be really embarassing if he said no and also it might be a little akward if he does say no and then the whole rest of the year he knows that you like him and are in the same class with him. But just saying hey wats up? and bein nice to him and askin questions could really be the thing to make him ask you out.
Also,the flirting woudlnt hurt either.lol
