a crush since forever


Question Posted Tuesday December 22 2015, 8:55 pm

I am a girl, currently in Grade 12, and I have had a crush on this guy in my grade since halfway through first semester grade 9.

He is really cute, and he loves singing and history. He is really funny, but can also be quite serious. He tends to be quite loud in class(he is in no way shy), but he is so sweet and kind and honest that the teachers rarely get mad at him.

I am quite(extremely...) shy when in a group setting, but one on one I tend to open up a bit. However, I only ever see this guy in class, in choir, and when our two friend groups (occasionally) hang out together.

He is always hanging around with this one group of girls, but he would never date any of them, so I know that's not an issue. The problem is that he's always with them. I get along well with all of them, a couple are even sort of my friends, but it would be awkward for me to just join their group when they are talking or whatever. I have in the past, like if they are in my class and my regular friends aren't but its just a little awkward...anyways yeah I feel too awkward to get closer to him that way.

He jokes around a lot, and when we are in a small group of people together, he sometimes/often teases me more than the other people in the group. In class the other day, he came over to talk to me, and he asked me about why I had been late for class that morning. He has done similar things a number of times in the past.

I guess what I want to know is: do I have any chance with him? and how do I got about getting that chance?

Additional info, added Wednesday December 23 2015, 2:53 pm:
Yes, he is straight. I know this for sure. The girls he hangs out with have been his friends for years, they are like sisters to him...

Another problem- I am scared to tell my friends I like him. I told them a couple years ago, but they laughed and told me we would make a really awkward couple (probably because I'm 5'9", and at the time he was super skinny and like 5'3", but he's grown since then). I would love to have their support, but we don't really talk about guys much, and I feel like I've been lying to them for years about this guy..not that I ever lied...I just didn't speak up...

Also, casual out-of-school meetings are difficult because he lives in a different city than I do, although we go to the same school (it's a private school). I can't just casually invite him to do something with me like randomly on a Saturday because he lives like a 45 minute drive away.

Ok i have some questions....

is he straight? sometimes when guys hang out with alot of girls but wont date any of them, that could be a sign that hes not interested in girls period and would just prefer to be friends with them all because he identifies with them more then guys. This would mean that your setting yourself up for rejection and that would suck so just make sure he IS infact straight first.

IF HE IS.....
Tell one of your friends that you all should hang out with him outside of school. Find a way to get his number and then invite him to go to the movies as a smaller group. do this often so that you become comfortable with him and the two or three people that are there as well.
If you get a moment or two alone with him for ay reason, and your talking, you could invite him to something with just to two of you, or lie and say that someone else is coming that he also knows then just say they never showed up. ; )
so then you get as much alone time together as possible, then go do something fun!

If you have some money, ask him if you can treat him to a drink at starbucks! then you can sit down and talk more one on one.
If you dont, invite him over to your house to bake cookies! or make something, or walk your dog together, just anything you can come up with to call him and say "hey i have to walk my dog you wanna come? i didnt wanna go alone" and just see what he says.

anything can be a potential mini date once you can get him comfortable with you outside of school.

good luck
