So I like this guy (he's a junior, I'm a freshman) but I don't know how to talk to him :(
School is over... he knows me, like he knows that I exist, we talked VERY briefly before, but he doesn't remember. I don't know how to talk to him... I have him on Instagram & Facebook... but it's weird to just message someone you don't know out of the blue.
My friend is dating one of his best friends and I talked to him once briefly as well, but she won't set me up because I know she's gonna think I don't have a chance with that guy (which I don't) but I wanna talk to him on my own somehow.
What should I do? I don't wanna seem weird or creepy. Please help. :(

The_Advisor_Of_Awesomenes answered Sunday June 5 2016, 6:35 am: If you want to talk to him on your own, you could perhaps comment on a few of his pictures. not like,'OMG you look so cute' but be casual and type something related to the picture but not directly to him.
ask him about studies, perhaps the subject you are weakest in.
maybe you can host a party and invite everyone. mingle with him a bit, crack a joke, dance.you get the drill.
but be yourself the whole time, like if he likes footie, dont be like 'ooh! i love footie too!' if you like it, you like it. if ya dont, ya dont.
and if he doesn't respond with any .romantic gesture in a few weeks, forget him.
i know its easier said than done but try :) [ The_Advisor_Of_Awesomenes's advice column | Ask The_Advisor_Of_Awesomenes A Question ]

Comes with the age bracket, but others may have extreme anxieties about people in general and talking to people. If you are very outgoing and make friends easily, and its only him you have a mind block and fear of talking to cus its so important you want to make a good impression, then it will be fairly easy if you face your fears and have some ideas of things to say.
If you are generally very shy and quiet and dont befriend people of talk to people you dont know,and others have to approach you first, then it will be a little harder. Again you need to face your fears, but you will need to get over your major fear of people first before anyone can help you with ideas on how to approach a person, like him, and start a conversation so it seems natural, not targeted and creepy.
I can give advice either way, so let me know which is your situation and I'll let you know what you can try. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
