Question Posted Friday September 28 2012, 11:54 pm
I am crushing super hard on my SI organic chemistry student tutor. Let's call me *Kane*. He's really smart, but not arrogant, so cute, funny, and laid back. I want to talk to him, but I just don't when. I only seem on three occasion : 1) when he's sits in on my lecture 2) when i go the SI tutor 3) when I go see my private tutor. I just can't talk to him alone, and its driving me crazy, because I really think we hit it off. I just don't how start with, because he's not the typical guy I fall for, and its freaking me out. I just don't wanna come off as stupid or creepy grrr I don't know what to do, I just really like him a lot! Help!

Is there any way you can get his e-mail address or cell phone number? You know, in case you need his help with your chemistry homework. It would be much easier to send him a quick e-mail or text inviting him to lunch than asking him in person. You could also try it the old fashioned way. Slip a note into his bag or something. You can reveal who you are or keep it a secret and ask him to meet you somewhere. If these ideas really don't appeal to you, you're going to have to muster up some courage. If you really like this guy you have to go for it. Work up the nerve and just speak to him. Even if he's not interested you should feel better because at least you'll know either way. Unfortunately, there may not be an easy way to do it. Don't forget to keep in mind that he may already have a girlfriend. Part of dating is putting yourself out there. Somebody's got to do it. You may feel stupid or creepy, but he probably won't see it that way. You're your own worst critic. Good luck! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

I would not suggest going to a bar though, everyone changes when they drink. But go as friends for now until you can get to really know each other. If the first coffee/lunch went well, later on ask if he'd like to go again. It never hurts to get to really know someone BEFORE jumping to the dating.
