there's this guy i really like, and well... i have no strength to talk to him. he's one grade above me, and i'm scared to talk to him. all my friends know i like him, even some of them like him too! we try not to get jealous. but i can't help it! half the school likes him! and there's nothing i can do... i've thought of telling him i really like him... but he probably won't even care... i want to stand out to him, i want him to notice me more than the other girls. but i have no way of doing that. i feel other girls have a better chance, but i really want to have the chance. i don't really want to date him... i want him to see me, and i want to be friends... but it's hard when he's a grade above. i want to talk to him, but i can't, especially when he's around his friends. i want him to see me, and i want him to know me. i want to make him feel like i'm unique and great... but i've never had that happen, and i'm not sure it will happen now...
what should i do?

Darby answered Tuesday May 5 2009, 8:05 pm: You should be yourself around him. If half of the school likes him, he's used to girls following him around and trying to impress him. He'll be much more impressed if you're down-to-earth and human. Try to find his MySpace or Facebook page and talk to him on there first if you're too shy to talk to him in person. Once you make his acquaintance, try to find similar interests. Do you like the same music, sports, movies, hobbies? If you find a genre of movie, or hobby you like (such as, bowling, golfing, basketball, rollerblading) ask him to go do one of the activities with you. See if he wants to see a new movie that's out in theatre or if he wants to go to the local skating rink. Remember not to try too hard to impress him. He's only human, just like you.
Hope everything works and feel free to get back to me once you start talking to him if you have any further questions.
