I like a girl, and I am shy, and she is shy. What do I do?
Question Posted Thursday February 28 2008, 7:27 pm
I am in 6th grade, and I would like to know what to do when I like a girl, and I can't talk to her because I am too nervous, and the girl is quiet and shy. What do I do in a situation such as this? Also, she is in my academic classes. She doesn't sit next to me, but in the morning in History class she sits 2 seats away. Another problem is that this girl likes me and she sits next to me, and she sits next to the girl I like. Please help? Also, I am not looking for bad answers such as "You can't go out with a girl in 6th grade it's to early." because it isn't early around where I live. I know a few people in my class that have boyfriends/girlfriends. Also, I am in the pinnacle program which is for smart students.
Additional info, added Friday February 29 2008, 4:28 pm: Also, she doesn't laugh. I have never heard her laugh. Jokes won't help here. I am also too nervous to approach her. .

I had a boyfriend when I was in the 4th grade. I thought I was totally cool because of it. So, trust me I understand and don't doubt for one second that you aren't ready.
Here is what I would suggest.
1- Let the other girl know that you are not interested in her as a girlfriend because you like someone else, but you would like for you two to be friends.
2- Start talking to the girl that you like. Even if it is for help at school. If you see that she is struggling with an assignment, offer to help her. I would suggest not acting smug though, because that can turn a girl off.
3- Find out who her friends are and see if you have a common friend. If you do, then you can try to see if they can set you up together.
4- Just go up to her and ask her. No guts no glory right? What is the worse that can happen? She would say no. However, it takes a lot of courage to be straightforward and honest with someone.
