So, of course, there’s this guy…

He’s in two of my classes, and he’s an absolute sweetheart (according to my sister, she’s met him before). Anyway, I’ve been saying “hi” to him in the halls and stuff, and I’ve been able to elicit a response from him. I really want to get to know him better, though, and he’salmost always with his group of friends.

So two things:

1. How do I get him alone, strike up a real conversation?
2. How do I know he’s not going out with one of his female friends?

Thanks a ton. n_n

1. If you´ve got the guts, go to him, take him by the hand and say that you´ve got something important to tell him, lead him away and then when he asks what´s so important tell him “I lied, I jsut wanted to hang out with you”, lol.

If you don´t dare, I guess you have to come up with something you have in mutual and talk about that and in the end ask him if he´d like to attend to something. For example, if you both like movies, you talk about movies and then you say something about a movie you heard alot about and ask him if he´d like to see that sometime.

2. Be observant and ask around. But I´d rather ignore that and just encounter and talk, like she (or in you case, he) is a friend of mine and then take ot from there.

And another wise man, beeing me, lol, says “It´s not always what you say, but more about your posture and how you say it.”

This is great advice, thanks! :)

(I really like the “I lied, I just wanted to talk to you” bit, haha—I think I may try that out first. XD)

Great, let me know how you managed buddy 8] You could mix it up and start it out by doing that thing about taking him by the hand and lead him away, it´ll sure put him off balance, and then if you already know you´ve got something in common;

“…nahh, I lied, I just wanted to hang out with you. So, I´ve noticed that you´re really into movies, you´ve ever seen that movie with James Dean, Rebel without a cause? We should try it sometimes. Anywho, I´ve got to go now, but give me your number and we might catch it sometimes.”

Just so you´ve got something more to it and a good ending to it as well 8]

Whoa, that’s…perfect. Not even kidding.
I have to wait until Monday, though. A shame I’m not in walking distance of his house. XD

But thanks a ton! You’re awesome. ^_^

Haha, well, I’m a freshmen going from a tiny school to a huge one. So not everyone knows everything about everyone just yet. XD

I guess I could casually ask a mutual friend…good call! :) And while I’m at it, I’ll see if Abby was right about his panda fetish. Hahahaha.

Yeah, you should dress out as a panda and encounter.

Actually, I didn’t even HAVE to start a conversation! (Although I’m definitely using advice from here to talk to him from now on.) So this is what happened:

HIM - (half running) Savannah!
ME - (turning around) Hey, what’s up?
HIM - Oh, I met your sister yesterday at play practice.
ME - (actually knowing this, since my sister told me) Oh, really? You did?
HIM - Yeah! She comes up to me, and she’s like, “Hey, you’re in two classes with my sister!” And I was like…(this adorable confused face), and then she says, “Savannah?” And I was like, “Oh yeah! Savannah!” And, like, I never knew about the connection there and…yeah. (smile.)
ME - Hahaha, that’s cool! (smile.)

And then we had to go to class, and we went our separate ways. But it was a pretty sweet two minutes.
