I really like this boy. He is the friend of alot of my friends that I hang out with regularly, but he does not always hang out with us because he lives quite far away even though he is in my school district. We have one class together: band. I really want to start talking to him. I am very friendly, but I just have no idea where to start. We have alot of social time in band, but it just seems too much of an akward streach just to walk over and start talking to him. I dont want to seem desperate or attention seeking, thats why I feel so akward just walking up to him and chatting him up.
Also, I think that I am nice looking and am overall pretty self-confident, but I have braces. I have never had a real boyfriend before and I feel like thats why. Honestly, I usually dont even "like" guys with braces unless there is somthing really special or likable about them. My braces are coming off soon, but I like him now! I feel self-concious about my smile. Also, prom is in a few months and I would love for him to take me! :D
I really am seriously crushing on this guy, I just dont know what to do about it! Please help!

Sami143 answered Tuesday March 10 2009, 12:07 pm: Well you could just make a small conversation with him in band, i mean just walk up to him and be like hey how long have you played and when he answers be like by the way im (your name) and if the conversation carries on then it is a lot less akward and easier to start another one next time you see him. And hopefully you guys will talk more and have something =] and about your braces dont be self concious at all, a lot of people have braces and honestly i dont even think that braces bother most people. Then if he likes you then maybe bring up prom... just give little hints and hope he asks you! Hope i helped =] [ Sami143's advice column | Ask Sami143 A Question ]
Dearbookworm answered Tuesday March 10 2009, 9:35 am: Band is always a good class to have with a boy first off, because it should give a lot of things to talk about. Nervousness is common in crushing on anyone, you don't know what to say because maybe you'll feel stupid. Here is what i suggest, be brave and take that chance. Start off with the assignment that you have and maybe ease off into talking about prom. See if he even likes prom. if he does then ask him if he would like to go with you. guys are very fragile creatures, you rush them into a relationship the run off screaming, just ease yourself into the conversation.
See the best thing to do is if he starts talking back go off it, don't go back into whatever it is that you want to talk about. talk about what he likes and what he would like to do later.
hoped my suggestion is helpful. need anymore help feel free to post again.
