I like this guy(how original :P). We haven't talked much, but he knows I exist :P. We only say hi once in a while and little stuff like that. The problem is whenever I see him I feel totally tongue-tied and sort of stupid so I don't say much and I talk weirdly :P:P:P (or that's what it seems like to me - haha). There have been a few things here and there both from my side and from his that could maaaaaaaayyyybe be considered something like flirting but nothing very obvious or certain. I guess my question is how can I get myself to talk to him, then what can I talk about, and how could I show him that I like him? I'm 16 and I have never had a real relationship-only silly text message stuff in middle school...
I don't really know how one would "get into" a relationship..?
Anyway, so please give me any advice you have and thanks!
Additional info, added Wednesday July 22 2009, 12:06 pm: Oh I also like drawing, and he's really into music (he is in a few bands etc). The thing is I find it really hard to follow music, I mean I don't know about many different things and certainly not the kind of stuff he is into so yeah.. But maybe you have some ideas about some more original/quirky/cute way I could "approach" him?
(i am so embarassed writing all this). Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? JustJessOx answered Thursday July 23 2009, 10:23 am: Hey there, =)
okay I would disagree with the last answer
asking him to hangout yet might freak him out a little considering you don't talk much so what I would do is maybe start a convirsation going one day you can talk about anything maybe an annoying school teacher do you have any classes together or anything like that?
you could start convo going about something like that,or a new movie..or anything.
think of him as someone you would talk to everyday and it should help relax you,just another one of your friends =]
the key to this is to be yourself by finding out the type of things he likes and pretending you like them too just to talk to him is bizare,and it almost always backfires trust me.
he will respect you more if your honest,and you would show signs of not being like every other girl who practicly stalks a guy to get to know him.
thats just my opinion anyway and coming from expierence lol
but its up to you =]
the only way to get to know him is to talk to him yourself about what he likes and what you like,then get is number,some flirty texting and your on your way =)
then ask him to go hang out.
hopefully then itl start to lead to you too liking each other more and more and then thats how the relationship stuff starts
anyway I hope I helped In anyway and dont be nervous hope it all works out
much <3

The first is to go about this the adult way (how I would go about it now that I'm 20). Ask him to coffee/dinner/movie/whatever as a "hang out" sort of thing. Then you can flirt while hanging out and possibly turn it INTO a date. Which is very smooth if you can pull it off. With musicians you should talk about music... it doesn't even have to be music THEY like, just music. Whatever you listen to, talk about it and why you like it and ask them what they listen to. Ask for them to burn you a mix CD of some of their faves and offer to do the same for them.
Then there's the way I would have handled this as a 16 yr old... I would have done some recon and figured out what he listens to, where he likes to hang out and basically stalk him for a like a week. Then, based on what I had found out I would "accidently" run into him some where and act like I go there all the time, along with magically be listening to music he likes and whatnot. It would be a relationship based on stalking and lies, but it can work... Lol. [ pseudophun's advice column | Ask pseudophun A Question ]
