ok. there is this kid that lives down my street.. he's really cute & all.. but we never talk. we've gone to elementary school together, middle school.. and now we're going into high school. i don't know if i actually like him, like as a boyfriend. but i am interested in him & would like to atleast become friends with him. once in a while he'd come over & play basketball with my brother, & my friends would be over & we'd hang out. but the thing is, he seems really shy. & the other thing is.. so am i. so it would be really hard to start talking. i think it would be really cool to walk with him to school on the first day & stuff, you know? i'd have someone to talk to. but i don't know how to start that. how can i start talking to him? remember, i'm really shy, so it'd be REALLY awkward for me to like, ring his doorbell or something like that. so please don't suggest that. thank youu.

Shy boys tend to be really nice and have a lot to say actually once you get them talking :]
Just show that your interested in getting to know him and ask him about himself, and just be yourself, ask him if he wants to come over and play a game or something. The biggest thing you need to over come is your shyness, if you can, he can! So swollow your nerves and your shyness and say hi, and talk to him. And maybe if things dont seem awkward and you guys get closer, casually bring up maybe walking to school together on the first day?
And to talk to him or something, if you have is IM or myspace or xanga, or something, ask him on there :]
Oh but I mean honestly,
if he does come over or something,
keep talking, dont let the awkward silence set in, or he probably wont want to hang out again. [ DefinedEyes's advice column | Ask DefinedEyes A Question ]
