I’m a highschool freshmen and in my english class there is this girl that i really really like.
heres the problems: one, she is a sophmore, 2, i am waaaaay to nervous to even try to meet her, 3, she is also a really quiet type that keeps to herself ( i checked her facebook even though we are not friends on FB but her description mentioned, ” i dont like peeple”. im pretty big for my age being 6′1″, just thought id throw that in. im in water polo too. I feel like we have made alot of eye contact and i feel like ive cuaght her staring at me a few times but it might just be wishful thinking. what should i do???

awe, thats so friking cutE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)
thanks… but aany suggestions? I’d honestly rather become friends with her first, i’m not really into dating yet…
Go for it. You’ll never know if you don’t try. When people say “I don’t like people” it generally means that they don’t like being around a large crowd or being the center of attention. I should know because I’m this way. So what if she’s older. I date women 7 years older than me, age is just a number right? :p
well, ya, i’m the same way around crowds and yes to the age thing. but i really don’t know how to even meet her. I’m not the kind of person that holds the door open for her and says, ” hey, my name is” or she drops a pencil, i pick it up and say, “by the way, im..” *sigh* I do have to say though, I would rather be just friends with her first.
cute, try to say hi whenever u see her in the hallway or somthin, or add her on facebook, if she accepts, start a conversation with a hi
ehh, thats harder then it seems plus i dont really just add people on facebook, especialy if she really doesn’t know who i am or cares. plus just saying hi randomly in the hallway? I mean, we have never even met!?!?

Hi’s are not every girl’s favorite convo. starter… it’s an exception for me because I’m naturally a sarcastic person who’ll reply to anything.
But ok, say Hi, and she’ll most likely just say Hi back, you can be like “hey i’ve seen you around skool before”… and like properly introduce yourself afterward.

haha i agree with that one!
*sigh* problem is, i just dont have the confidence to do that. also… i dunno, part of me is telling me, especialy someone like her, an introductory like that just seems so up front. I’d been trying to think of ways to get us into a situation where we would just… meet.
There’s tons of things to talk about. Maybe just say some statements around her while talking with friends and notice that she “overhears”.

i was just like you, but my situation is a lil different, the girl i really like is a mutual friend, i asked her out once, she said she wasnt ready for a boyfriend :\ 3rd time ive been rejected, n never had a girlfriend.

Nah, fake encounters don’t usually work out too well. Maybe you could invite her for something? or offer her some kind of assistance?

not a fake encounter, something like… well, i think ‘plan’ was the wrong word. i ment if our teacher like told two people to do sumthing and it just happend to be us. Offering her assistance would be something I could do, I just wouldn’t want it to be something like, “oh, do you need help with that problem?” It would be great if she like dropped something and I helped pick it up. even if I got a chance to open the door for her and she simply says thanks and say no problem. that would at least break some sort of ice. Plus, theres like 12 rows of desks in the classroom, I sit at the back seat of the farthest left row and she sits at the front of the middle row.
Well, when I was in highschool (ha! that was just last year lol) we sat in desks arranged- most of the time- in rows. Start sitting beside her for a while. You could then just wait and see or else try some cheesy little thing like asking for help with something. If the teacher is being moody that day and you can tell she thinks that as well, you could make some comment about that to her which could strike up a conversation. Lol Just throwing out there what comes to my mind first, I tried. :)

ya but… its assigned seats.
Dang! Sorry man, only other option I can think of is “manning up” and just talking to her because, I agree, fake encounters are so awkward and weird. From what I’ve seen, anyway.
Just for the record, i did not mean planning a “fake encounter”!
*SIGH* I guess for right now I’ll just see how it goes. Maybe something will happen or maybe I’ll get the guts to say something :( Whatever happens i’ll try to comeback to this post, either with thank you’s or questions.
Another thing taht might put a bit of a twist on this; you know how this really weird thing happens to people as they grow up and their mind creates some person (usually a lover) and they dream of the imaginary person all their life until they actually meet the person in real life and its crazy? Well, lets just say this is that september 2 2010 period 2 was a very mind blowing and confusing time for me….
