Hey there. Ya well I'm 16/f. So I recently became a boys basketball manager (take stats, do stuff for the coaches, fill up water bottles, ect.) Well, there's a guy on the team that I think is really cute and all, but I'm a sophmore and he's a senior so we don't have any classes together. Well, I really want to talk to him, but I don't know what to say. All of my friends are really good at flirting and talking to guys, but I've never been like, super good at I guess you could say. I mean, I take care of myself, have good clothes, and stuff. But I'm not super skinny, but not fat either. I'm in between I guess. But I think it's mostly because I'm kinda short. Well, anyways, whenever I try to talk to guys, I just get the vibe they think I'm weird or something. But it might just be me. I'm just quite around guys, mostly because I never know what to talk about. But I really want to talk to this guy on the team, but I'm not sure what to talk about. There's an away game this coming tueday, and my friends think I should sit next to him( my friends would be there to so I won't be alone or anything) but I'm just always so scared that guys will think I'm weird, or not pretty or skinny enough. I have a feeling I'm never going to get a bf, mostly because I've never had one. Kinda pathetic yes, but I'm just not the type to talk to every single guy I see and just launch into conversations and flirt. So help? Is there something wrong with me?? Should I sit next to him on the away game, and what should I talk to any guys about ever, but especially the guy on the team?????? I always tell myself to take chances, and that if I don't, I'll end up regetting it later, but then I just clam up. Please help me. I don't want guys to think I'm a looser. I really like this guy, and I've only talked to him a couple of times, so what should I talk about with him?? My friends also think that whenever I see him in the hall or at lunch, I should say hi, but would that be weird? Please help me! Thanks!!!

If the seat next to him is open be like, can I sit here? if he says yes your in! If not he may have told a friend he would sit with him..dont lose hope. And about talking to him...ask about basketball, talk about the games, he'll think your into him and like that. If you see him in the hallway smile at him. Work your way up to talking to him. You'll do fine. Just breathe...what's the worst that can happen? Seniors can be jerks though so dont get to upset if things dont work out. You'll find someone.
