Talking to this guy


Question Posted Tuesday January 29 2008, 6:51 pm

Ok so I have a huge crush on this guy. Oh by the way I'm 13/f. I'm in 8th grade too. Well my school is year round so I am off for the rest of this month and Feb. Well he talks to me a lot. And I have 3 classes with him. He sits behind me in one and sits next to me in another and the last one is P.E. so we don't really sit. But he pulls my hair when he sits behind my and he is so funny. He drops something then I pick it up. He is hilarious though, he can make anyone laugh. The thing is I never have the guts to start talking to him and we have never really had a real conversation except once. But I wanna know how to talk to him like start a conversation. He usually ask me something and I answer and yeah its over. Sorry it was long but can you please help! Thanks!

A good way is either sitting near him, or if you can't do that, sort of linger near/around him before or after classes. Chances are, if he's attempting conversation with you already, he'd pretty much be fine with continuing whatever conversation you happen to start. The problem with a lot of people and conversations is they overanalyze what they're going to say, or worry that the person won't really want to talk to them. The truth is, most everyone likes being talked to and would only be annoyed really if they ignored you or something and you wouldn't go away; clearly you are not in this situation. Sometimes, what matters isn't how you start a conversation or what you say but the fact that you said anything to begin with. No one cares if you say something not particularly interesting or funny because we've all been there, but if you never say anything your chances of getting to know this guy are extremely low.

As the person below me suggested, comments about things having to do with the class are a really good idea. It's always fun to tease what's going on in the class (the ridiculousness of the test/assignment, the weirdness/niceness/whateverness of your teacher,ect. ). The best times to talk are work periods, times when the teacher leaves the room, and especially before or after class. As guy in question gets up to leave, hang back around him and comment on something maybe that happened in that class. Then you can ask "What's your next class?" and then keep the conversation going by either saying what class you have or commenting on the class he's going to. Always say something related to something he's said so you both can keep talking, otherwise you may not look interested. Whenever possible, avoid one word answers and tell crazy stories.

If he's pulling your hair/ teasing you it's a good sign he may like you back =] Reciprocating (his hair may be too short to pull but something similar) would let him know you were interested. Good luck =]

i think that you should just act like he is one of your friends; not the girly version but like a normal version, ask about a test or a club, or maybe just how is day went, pull the flirty card, and the next time he drops something, before you go to pick it up you could say "you just want to look at my butt dont you?" it would make him turn red and it will make you laugh, it could start a conversation! ha ha

So like a few things you could say would be...
-talk about the class you are in, like if he gets whats going on and stuff.
-when he pulls your hair, jokingly say something like, "so you like my hair? jealouss?" and then laugh about it.
-Ask him about himself, like if he plays any sports and things like that or what he likes to do.
You'll get used to eachother and learn about one another, feeling more comfortable later on. Trust me :]
Have funn

well if you have a test in the class that your in, maybe ask him how he did or how he did. also if there are partner tasks that you have to do, then ask him to be your partner. or if thats too much then just stick with the test thing. or like pass a note to him saying how boring or funny your teacher is. i know it sounds stupid but its a pretty good way to talk to him. and if you two are going in the same direction then just talk to him on the way to your next class. now dont do all this at once, just ease into it. like make it suddle.

hope this helps =]
