okay.. so im a varsity basketball cheerleader and theres this guy whos a varsity basketball player. well the first time i saw him i thought he was hot.. i didnt really know it at the time but i couldnt stop staring at him and when i had to take my players there stuff on the bus i got nervous around him. well ive never even talked to him--ever!! the only way weve interacted is i asked where one of my players was and he kindof blurted "hes over there" and i said thanks of course and thats it. well usually im shy unless i get to know someone and until i say something to them its so hard to talk to someoone. its like its a barrier. well only one of my friend knows. you see- im a freshmen and hes a junior. he has an older bro whos a senior and hes also on the basketball team. well the one friend who knows doesnt like his older bro. but i know this sounds weird or stalkerish but i had this dream about him. and for some reason 2 of 3 of my captains were in it and one used to talk to him (in real life) (but nothing ever happened)and she doesnt anymore but (in the dream) they were like ugh i cant believe shes with him and all this stuff. well another one of my friends used to talk to his older bro. well to get to the advice part -- idk what to do.. i really want to talk to him but i get really nervous and i dont know what to say. i kindof want to see what my friend who used to talk to his bro says about it but im afraid that it will get back to him.. so what should i do about this?? i really need your advice!!! please answer ASAP!!!!
Additional info, added Friday January 18 2008, 10:30 pm: okay so its a week later and ive been trying my best to talk to him but i havent had a chance. we won one of our games really good n i wanted to tell him he did good bt i havent had a chance and i tried to tell one of the other freshmen but they didnt hear.. now today we had our pep rally and we played a game where we had to tie one of the bball players eyes up and they had to shoot 3-ptrs and of course my player was his jerk of a brother. plus i had a spot to stand right in front of my friends and i had to get moved to stand right in front of the guy i like, his jerk brother, and another jerk friend. then when i tried to help him shoot he wouldnt compromise and just turn a little he would turn too much or not enough at all. then we went back and did a stomp and we messed up and a cheer that i suck at cause its a lot of jumping around and stuff and i look retarded and my friend that came over and knows about the situation said he was laughing at me!!! the brother not him. but i dont know what to do because if his brother doesnt like me and doesnt even know me, then how will he?? he does everything his brother does (just isnt as jerk-ish)please help!! .

This is about you going for what you want and having the confidence you need to approach anyone. Pretend you are not ga-ga over him for a second and remember he is just a stinky gross guy...like all the stinky gross guys out there...a human being, right? Staring from afar is only cute and mysterious for so long...you need to start talking to him directly. What is wrong with a quick, "Hi there, nice game. Liked your moves." Start with what you two have in common! Then build up and ask other stuff from there...like is there life outside of B-ball? What other interests does he have? Tell him about your interests, too. Find something else in common or try something new together...suggest he give you a lesson in B-ball and you can help him with english...or whatever. Get your game face on, and go for it.

If you're nervous around all guys, start talking to ones that don't matter so you can get comfortable. just be yourself around him, just a little flirty. Good Luck!
