girl help: I like this boy in one of my classes. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I like this boy in one of my classes.

I noticed that I liked him in February, and I still like him (it’s now May). We’re in the same History class, but that’s the only time we ever really see each other. He used to tease my friend and me in a joking way during our freshman year of high school in one of our classes, and his teasing used to bother my friend and me. Now, to be honest, whenever we’re in the same groups for History/staying after with our History teacher to review material that will be on the test the next day, he’ll joke with me like he did freshman year (we’re juniors now). The only difference being that I like it now, and every time I hear his name or think about him, I smile and get butterflies in my stomach. :)
The only problem with this crush of mine is that we rarely speak to each other because we only have one class together. I know I’m not just physically attracted to him because I’m not someone who has a crush on someone just because they’re attractive; I’m someone who needs to see someone’s personality in order to tell whether I find them attractive. In this case, I think he has a handsome personality and, therefore, a handsome appearance. He’s smart, polite, a gentleman, funny, athletic, handsome… his personality traits and physical traits are just what I look for in a guy.
But since we never really talk, I don’t know if should take this crush seriously. :( And whenever I think that I might not like him in a serious way, I get annoyed with myself for even thinking that.

If anyone has some advice/wise words to help me figure out what it is I want/how I really feel about him/what I should do, I’d really appreciate it.

When you see him in class, ask him if you can talk outside class to get his help/advice on something.

Find out things he’s interested in. ASk him about those things. Give him an excuse to take you to an event that relates to those interests. Or find events he might be interested and ask if he’d like to go along.

Flirt, smile, compliment what you like, incidental touches on the arm/back/shoulder, ask for advice, ask about his interests, find ways to spend more time with him. That’s your job as a girl. It’s his job as a guy to ask you out. Just make it easy and encourage him.
