so theres this guy...


Question Posted Tuesday September 2 2008, 4:17 pm

i'm emily, 16 and a junior. and there is this guy, i've known for quite a while. his locker has always been right by mine and we've had a couple of classes together. i can be shy when i first meet people but after a while i open up, he's the same way to. ever since i met him which was about 2-3 years ago he's always tried to strike a conversation but it never lasts that long, i've always had this little school girl crush on him and i feel since he's always trying to talk to me that maybe he likes me to, but how could i know for sure? i also want to get to know him more so maybe something oculd happen but what can i do to maybe start making more conversation? any conversation starters? thanks :)

Just talk about school, and about teachers or classes. You could talk about a book he's reading or if he plays a sport ask him how the team's coming. You could also ask him if he has any pets. Or anything like that.

From there:

That being said, making friends really isn't all that hard. Just talk to people! Here are a few ways you can start a conversation:

1. Compliment them.
- If they're wearing a nice pair of shoes, or some cute jeans, tell them. Let them know you like their shoes, and then ask where they got them. After that, ask if they're comfortable or something. Don't be annoying about it, but take interest in the person you're talking to, and hopefully, chances are they'll show interest back.


2. Find something you have in common.
- If they're wearing a band shirt, and it's a band you like, tell them! For example, say they are wearing a Rocket Summer shirt, say to them, "I see you have on a Rocket Summer shirt, do you like his music?" Then, after they answer, tell them your opinion on the band/artist.


3. Talk about your surroundings/where you are.
- Say it's after class and the person next to you is getting up to leave. Walk out next to him/her and comment on the class. Say something like, "That was kind of an interesting lesson." or "Was it just me, or was that lecture kind of boring?" or, if you're sitting outside on a bench, and somebody is sitting next to you, make a comment about the weather or where you are.


4. Make a joke!
- There's no better way to make friends with somebody than to make them smile/laugh. BUT don't make a joke about another person, it will make you look bad AND potentially hurt another person's feelings.
