How to ask a guy out when you're on different levels
Question Posted Thursday November 20 2008, 6:08 pm
I know this guy in one of my classes. We are both seniors. He's athletic, funny and has a lot of common sense, but not academic smarts. However, while I do have a great sense of humor and am highly intelligent, I lack common sense(sometimes). I want to talk to him and (eventually) give him my phone number so we can start texting, but I can't seem to figure out how to go about that. We are both somewhat shy people. Any advice?

I would start out with small, little things.. IF you haven't made any conversation with him yet. "Can I borrow a pen/paper?" or sit next to him, would be a good intro to ease in softly. Then you could ask him for help, "I don't get this question, what does it mean?" or "What did you get for this question, I don't know if mine's right." Guys LOVE acting like the hero, it boosts their ego AND you won't come off stupid. When you finally come to level of making conversation, and saying hi to eachother, it'll be more comfortable. When he has his cell phone out, pull yours out and you could say something like "What kind of cell phone is that? It's awesome. I don't really like mine." Then he'll start talking and you can easily ask for his number, like "Oh, actually, hey..let me get your number, since your in my class and all." I hope you get my drift! It'll work out fine :) [ just_ask_me's advice column | Ask just_ask_me A Question ]
