well, there's this boy in my gym class (well, hes not in my gym class, he just helps in it) that is really cute and really nice. He's pretty popular, and i sorta am. but he's a sophmore, and i'm a freshman. I don't really know him, and just randomly talking to him would be weird. Today I smiled at him once and asked him about time or something stupid. But i'd like to get to know him and see if maybe i like him. Any suggestions? It needs to be very gradual, but still progress, you know?

Lets face it..everyone has one haha..so hopefully he does too. Then if he does i would add him as a friend..commet him..comment hs pics..and ask for his sn through myspace messaging. Then i would talk to him on AIM..get to know him..like ask what he likes to do, what hes into, tell him about anything interesting that happened in school or some funny story .then after building things up after a couple days of talknig i would be like "we should hang out or somethin this weeekend.." or "hey did you see the commerial for that new movie...wana go see it?" while getting to know him you can kinda flirt around ((this works especially good online..)) liike ask what he looks for in a girl..etc. I hope it helpss

He's not going to hurt, bite or humiliate you for walking up to him and introducing yourself. In fact, most guys welcome that and are flattered a girl would have the guts to do it.
All you have to do is be yourself and just tell him your name. Then comes the real easy part ask him if he would like to chat online some time and then press a piece of paper into his hand with your info.
After that leave things up to him If he doesn't contact you at least you'll know where you stand with him. You also don't exactly ask him out by doing this either so no worry with rumours etc. I would however, do this when not a lot of people are around.
As far as him being a sophmore and you being a freshman it's only a year difference and will not make an impact on anything or his decision to date you if you get to that point.
The thing here is you have to be gutsy to get anywhere. If you want to get to know someone be it for friendship or a relationship you have to be willing to approach them instead of waiting and hoping they approach you.
If want something bad enough as scared as you may be to approach him do it. Just be yourself and talk to him like you would anyone else you want to be friends with.
It's really no different except for the fact you might get a boyfriend out of it. Another way to get him to know you is throw a party and invite him to it or if you know your pals are all going to a movie or to hang out somewhere on the weekend ask him if he would like to join you.
I know you wanted gradual but I believe in a one step program here and not 12 :) You can do it. If you gave him your online info it would prehaps be easier for you because typing what you are thinking is easier than saying it live.
At any rate the only choice you have is flat out introducing yourself or not as you're holding yourself back for no reason other than fear of what if he did this or reacted like that? etc. I'm sure if you just introduced yourself that all would be easy and fine. Don't make things harder than they need to be. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
