i am horrible at making conversation. especially when it comes to talking to someone i like, who happens to only be an acquantaince.
so, november (yes that long ago) i went to a school football game with my friends and i met a boy who is a year older than me. we have a mutual friend i guess. (that friend now knows i like this boy... but he doesnt know that i know he knows... wow sorry if thats real confusing)
anyway i didnt automatically know i liked him. i never really gave him a second thought until a few days later. i realized i had felt so comfortable talking to him (which was probably only like 3 minutes haha) and thats very unusual for me to find in a person, especially a person i just met. i started to be a little interested in him and then i realized he is just flat out adorable.
well since then we exchange a hey in the halls, but since hes older we dont share any classes. and recently, my best guy friend, who knew him 2 years ago, tried to help me out. he saw him at a basketball game and talked to him and asked him what he thought about me. his reply was "what do you mean?" so my friend asked if he thought i looked good. and he apparently "said yea in a 'duh' tone of voice" according to my friend. haha so im glad with that. and ever since that day, in the hall he would just give me a funny face or something or purposely like dramatically look away and then look back.
he also requested me on myspace and facebook, and i would talk to him there if i knew him better but i dont want to be like creepy online stalker and never actually talk to him in real life.
anyway, point is, i still like him after a long time and i havent had the courage to say pretty much ANYTHING to him. i mean maybe 2 or 3 times we've had a really short "conversation". i just never have any idea what to say - and i know i was so comfortable with him when i met him, but ive become so like obsessed with him (not literally but i still feel like ive convinced myself to like him more than i originally did? i dont know how to explain it) that i have psyched myself into being afraid to talk to him.
the few times i see him daily are for short periods of time so its not like i can start a huge conversation, we only pass by each other... is there something i can say to maybe get his attention in those couple seconds? something funny? i dont know. i just wish i could get to know him better. hes really cool.
i know the whole confidence deal with guys being attracted to confident girls.. and i try but im kind of helpless. i always feel awkward because i cant think of what to say in conversations even with good friends sometimes... and this will sound stupid but i never know what to do with my hands ever... like just walking i cant keep them at my side.
im a mess lol anyone want to help out?

but umm maybe try leaving him a comment, something just stuipd and little like hey whats up?!
just something little like that will get him thinking about you :)
and if you guys talk on aim (or w/e you have) then sometimes i like to play 20 questions with people. Just ask him 20 random questions, and then he can ask you 20 random questions. If a good game and can kinda break the ice.
&& also maybe see if he wants to go see a movie, or go bowling? anything your into. & then see were things go from there :)
i hope i helped. but i totaly know how you feel it sucks. ahah [ 12Brezzer12's advice column | Ask 12Brezzer12 A Question ]

first off, message him or comment him or instant message him saying hey whats up? we barely talk; we should hangout. and that might show him you're interested.
then when you see him, ask him how schools going and ask about hanging out. i know you might be scared, but just blurt it out, and see what happens.
