Question Posted Thursday September 6 2007, 8:01 pm
I like this one guy, and I really want to talk to him...but here's the problem. We have no classes together, and almost no friends in common, except two of my friends. But I can't tell my friends that I like him because, my best friend says that she's in love with him. He asked her out last year (before I knew him) and it would hurt her feelings.
So how do you go up and talk to a person when you have no reason for talking to them, and no friends in common? I'm kind of shy too, I can't just walk up to him and say "Hi. I'm Rosalie, and I really like you" I need some ides that will seem causal to him if it involves walking up and talking to him, and If I do I have to have a valid reason so I don't look like a complete idiot...
Anyway, help would be appreciated.

Drop something by his foot in the hallway, ask him a question about directions, etc. Sometimes there will be situations where you both could be in the same place at the same time & can just start talking. For example, if he's in your lunch, maybe find a spot in line near him & ask him what's for lunch or how much something costs. Casually ask him random questions. Maybe find one of your friends & ask them to go with you. You could also figure out who he's friends with & start talking to them. That way they can introduce you guys. You just need to be confident & don't be shy.

Then just be like oh god she was supposed to meet me, then make up some reason for meeting her. I'm not sure if it would work, but it may open up the window to start a real conversation with him. Sorry if this isn't much help. Or you could like run up to him and be like I have this huge favor to ask and just make something up that sounds real. I'm sorry, but this is the best I've got. I hope everything works out for you and him. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help! Good lucK! [ unstrungbeads's advice column | Ask unstrungbeads A Question ]
