I'm in 8th grade and have a crush on this boy. He is so sweet. Well I think he is. I have only one class with him though so I really want to talk to him. The thing is that I am really shy! Well I can be and I am most of the time. I am actually a really loud person but not with people I don't know very well. Well we just came back to school this week, I go to a year round school so we just came back this month so he hasn't been talking to me much. The month before we got off he would always come up and talk to me and ask me questions and stuff. I don't know what I should do. I really want to talk to him but I really need to get the confidence to go up to him. So any advice on how to talk to him and approach him or something? Also if you have any advice for what else to do. Thanks so much!
A loud person can sometimes be viewed incorrectly by others as obnoxious or having the potential to be. Watch what you say, who you say it to and the volume level. you cannot afford to inadvertently scare him off over a trait like this.
why isn't he talking to you so much? Well, he may be done waiting for you to approach him. You might not have a lot in common or maybe he's as shy as you are or feels the same way. Odds are if he likes you he's equally as scared of talking to you as you are of him.
You have to treat talking to him much like you would a friend, sibling, parent or another adult. It's no different. Pretend that whatever you have to say to him is vital that he hears. Then start talking and ask him about his interests, movies, sports etc and casually invite him to a party or to some place you and your friends will be hanging out.
If he sounds interested it means you are on the right track. If he doesn't than maybe it's indication he's not in to you. This is the way to fid out before asking him out. Give him your number, e-mail or IM and ask him to chat. If he's not interested you'll know.
