I have a crush and want to know if I should dismiss or go for it
Question Posted Friday May 23 2014, 5:20 pm
Alrighty so I'm a junior (17 and a girl) in high school and I previously attended another high school for about 2 and a half years, but recently transferred into this new school. I've been in the school for about 4 months or so and haven't gotten too involved into social circles because I'm a pretty shy person... So, here comes the problem, I have this huge crush on a guy in one of my classes. I don't know too much about him, but from what I've seen he seems like a very laid-back, funny person. I noticed that we make frequent eye contact multiple times throughout the class. I try smiling at him to leave a good impression, but he usually gets flustered and walks away. Occasionally we make off-handed good-humored comments about each other (to each other) and I always find that we usually end up very close together even if we don't talk. We always end up paired up, using each other's equipment, or just general situations where we get stuck together. Now, I'm a bit helpless because I really like him but I don't have the confidence to actually start up conversations. I also have two friends (who are guys) who I'm very friendly with (physically- hugging, etc) in the class as well and I've noticed my crush always looks upset when I'm with them. What should I do?

First off, it's OK to be shy. Lots of people are and sometimes people even find that to be an attractive quality. You say he's laid-back and funny but does he seem shy too?
You also mention not having the confidence to start up a conversation. However, the fact that you do make the off-handed, good-humored comments to each other suggests that you already have, even if you didn't necessarily think of it that way.
I you lack confidence, think of it a different way. I'm sure there are things you do now with no problem at all that when you first started out doing them you were not confident, perhaps nervous or maybe even terrified. But once you took that leap, you made it and now it's no longer a problem. You can do the same here.
You'll never know what could be if you don't try and life's too short to just let it pass you by so I say just go for it.

I'd definitely say go for it. I mean if you never try, you'll never know. It seems like he's kinda shy too, at least around you so if he doesn't make a move, go for it.
I say build the confidence to start talking to him more. If he responds well, then that's a great sign and then you can go from there!

It seems theres nothing wrong and he's willing to talk to you and there are signs he likes you by the sound of it sooo
GET HIS NUMBER
if you can't do that add him on facebook, twitter or whatever and TALK. Just... strike up a conversation. Open ended questions about his life etc.
Don't forget to flirt a bit and tease him etc.
Subtle signs to let him know you're interested- touchy feely giggly girls BUT not stupid head over heels. Play it cool.
When the time is right, you can ask him out to town or something.
If he doesn't accept you first time don't get upset because that's not attractive.
Act aloof, not desperate. Don't let him think youre waiting for him etc etc.
