Question Posted Saturday March 22 2008, 5:08 am

17/f, I really really like this boy who is in one of my classes at school.
We're both in our last year of high school.
And anyway the thing is that I've only just noticed him and I've never spoken to him before.
I am heaps scared of talking to him mainly because I wouldn't know what to say.
I don't want any stupid things like "nice shirt" or whatever, we wear uniforms at our school. And nothing about an assignment we're doing or something coz I could just ask one of the girls I sit with about it. I need a real reason to go and ask him or talk tohim about something rather than anyone else I could ask or talk to in the class.
And also none of my friends know him or his friends.

Thanks so much to anyone who can help.
xoxo

well your both in your last year, so how about asking him something like, "so what are your plans for this summer?", "what college are you thinking about going to?", or "what are you planning to do when we get out of school?"

nice simple stuff that he will likely have and answer for.

of course if you really really like him you could always just ask him if he's single. its a bit direct but gets the point across that your interested.

Good luck!

If you're going to open him, don't ask some normal bland question, instead, ask an opinion.

An opinion opener should be a short story (longer once you get to know him).

An easy one would be along the lines of "My friends and I earlier were discussing something, and I need an opinion. Do you floss before or after you brush?"

Silly as it may seem, it will invoke a response from him, and there you go, you're into conversation.

Ask him about his interests.

If he's in football, ask him what position he plays or how many touchdown passes or touchdowns he's made.

If he's into theater, ask him what his favorite and least favorite casting parts were.

You can also ask him what kinds of movies he likes or what music he listens to.

Then you can see if you two have anything in common.


It's always easiest to start with a simple, "Hello," though, so that he knows that you're friend, outgoing and approachable.

The most important thing is to just be yourself.

He'll fall for the true you. :)


If you need anymore help, feel free to ask. ^_^


Best Regards,

Mariah
