Talking to a cute boy!? -- sounds childish, I know.
Question Posted Wednesday August 26 2009, 4:09 pm
Well to start off, I'm a 16 year old girl, and there's this cute boy that I noticed in band (marching band, heh) and he is a drummer.
I want to start talking to him, but I am pretty shy when it comes to talking to new people (especially when they're cute!)
Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a simple compliment to start off but I just don't know! I get so nervous.
Any comments are helpful, maybe even self-experiences! :]
I haven't been through this experience but my cousin has and i helped give her some advice. first of all walk up to him and introduce yourself or if u have a class with him say hi on your way in. start simple and a compliment would be just fine, but keep your self calm don't freak out and start mumbling about other stuff. it's just like talking to any other person you don't really know, just act natural. there's no shame in it.
Hope I could help.

If you don't have any, your favorite drummers are Danny Carey, Brann Dailor, Gene Hoglan, Tim Alexander, and Nick Menza. Good group right there. [ Matt's advice column | Ask Matt A Question ]

I started asking them about where they were from (knowing that they're not from the country we reside in) and just got the conversation going.
You could ask him how long he has been playing, about his other interests, compliment his playing, ask about the music he likes.
Even if you're shy, act confident (but not full of yourself) and he'll be nice. Don't come onto him too hard the first time you talk, but be casual and friendly :)
If you know anyone that hangs out with him, maybe there can be a group outing, and you can get to know him around his friends?
