13/F
Okay well i'm in 8th grade and i really like these two guys but they're really popular, so i rarely ever talk to them. Sure i've texted oen, though he has no clue who i am, but during school hours i am very shy towards guys "higher in the food chain"
Anyway, what i want to know is how to be friends with them with out seeming like a total nervous wreck.
Please Help Me!!!!

If any of your friends know/talk to either of these boys, you should ask him/her to introduce you! I know that it's hard to branch out, especially if you're shy, so why not get a confident friend to help out? (Seeing a pattern? Haha Friends are great for stuff like this!) I know last year (I'm a freshman) I would make my best friends talk to the guys I liked to see if they were interested. If asking for help doesn't sound like something you can do, or if none of your friends are up for it, keep texting that one guy and start showing interest in the kinds of things he does (Football, Basketball... Chess Club? haha) He'll notice that you're really attentive and you're not self-centered, probably like most of his ex-girlfriends or friends that are girls. Once you get more comfortable texting him, try a real face-to-face conversation! It may seem scary, but you never know... it could be worth it to take a chance!! Hope I helped!

If you can't be you in front of them then their really not worth your time. People are supposed to like you for you. So just believe in yourself and walk right up to them and just say hi and just be yourself and if they don't like you then tough cookies. Always be yourself.
