Homecoming is coming up in a few weeks and I'm excited for it. Everyone seems to be anxious for it, and the guys are asking the girls to the homecoming; the usual. I'm going with my group of girls to the homecoming; we so far don't have dates. However, I feel left out. I see flowers and guys asking girls out; except me. I know I'm too young (15) and stuff, but still! There is this particular guy; don't know if he's going. I'm thinking I should make eye contact to him and make him notice me because I see him a few times. However, I have the butterflies. When I see him, I don't want to creep him out and stare at him. My question is should I get his attention? How would you do it without creeping it out (I did that two years ago...long story).

Sambam answered Tuesday August 12 2008, 11:17 pm: I know how you feel, I see a bunch of guys asking out girls and they don't ask out me. If your liking this one guy start talking to him. Little small talk that will eventually lead to a, " Hey are you going to homecoming?" If he says yes ask who he's going with but don't push it. Casually mention you are going with your girls. But before all that happens, just take it slow, talk, ask to hang out, that kind of stuff. Treat him like a friend but still be a little flirty so he knows your interested, so if he likes you, he can tell and act a little flirty too. Good Luck and have fun at Homecoming!

Don't like stare him down, b/c yes that is creepy, just look at him for a few seconds, smile and say hi. That way he notices you, he can go over and talk to you and if he doesn't, but you still want to talk to him, then go up to him and say hi, compliment him, and introduce yourself. As far as the compliment goes you, say for instance he is wearing a band t-shirt and you like the band, comment on their recent concert. Or say he is wearing something ridiculous, you can tease him about it. Just teasing, b/c if you make fun of him, he'll walk away and itll be over. And if you do tease him, smile the whole time, so he feels comfortable and realizes it is a joke.
I know what you mean though, dateless, every homecoming or event, I was dateless, so I just went with my friends. And the guys I liked, didn't know I exited, but I realize it now that I should have talked to them, b/c I would have had a date, but they thought I wasn't interested. See I should have talked to them and made eye contact, I was so shy, and they thought I was stuck up. I realize it now, so please take my advice, make the eye contact, whats the worse that can happen... he doesn't like you? You'll move on, I promise, but if you don't at least try, you'll kick yourself and really regret it.
