    There's this guy I like at school, but every time he passes me in the hallway I look down and avoid his gaze. But when he does see me, and I wave, he gives me this amazing grin that makes me blush and just melt. xD

    I like him because he's funny, nice, smart, sarcastic, shy, caring, sweet and awesome. We're into a lot of the same things and he actually goes to my school.

    The only thing is that he's a senior and he'll be gone next year. Also, we hardly see each other this year, just occasionally in the halls since we have no classes together, though we have lunch together.

    Since we're both shy, it's really hard to do this. I really like him, but whenever we talk about anything relating to "him and I", we both just get really red and stutter and look away and squirm.

    He was at homecoming last night, and I couldn't even ask him to dance. I just got really red and started crying because I knew I couldn't do it. And he comforted me, though he didn't know what was wrong. But by the time I had enough courage to ask him to dance, it was time to go.

    Anyways. I've been wanting to ask him out for a while now. I'm just not sure how to go about it, or what to say, or when to do it.

    Any ideas, please? D:

    come right out and ask, if you never talk to him you will pine away wondering what if you HAD asked him. ive been in the same situation except the other way around, smiling to see if the girl shows any interest in me, but from a guy's perspective they are shy as not to seem like they are jumping too fast. and as for him being a senior if he does like you the way you like him, just enjoy all the time you have with each other

    Maybe tell him you have feelings for him or show it and flirt a bit. Just keep getting to know him and if it happens it happens if it doesn't then there's more guys out there.

    I guess. I really don't know how to ask. Like, what exactly to say. I saw him today after we and we talked a bit about whether or not I'd survive if I fell off of the side of this bridge...<<; We're weird like that, but we laughed after. I dunno how to bring it up. I'm really comfortable around him just talking and talking about last year and stupid silly stuff, but it's hard to bring up anything like a relationship.


    Thank you for helping. :3 I think I'll tell him, but once again, I'm not sure how to bring it up in conversation and put it into the right words.

    Haha I love this thread! Such innocence!
    The position you are in sounds really good.
    I would flirt a bit and make more contact. Get his number so you can text him and start to get to know him better.

    Someone obviously didn't read the thread properly. Theyre both shy.




    Honestly, it sounds like this could go really well if you got together, regardless of what he's going to do next year. :3
    It'll seem daunting to just go right out and ask him out, so do it little by little instead- drop small, subtle hints that you'd like to take it further. More skin to skin contact, that sort of thing. Things should progress naturally, romance is often the next progressive step after great friendship after all.

    You're a lovely girl and pretty too, Ill be suprised if he says no :3

    Oi, don't get so offended about it. She actually quite liked my response thank you, but that was a behind-the-scenes thing.

    1. Get to know him better
    2. Tell him you like him
    3. Become a "couple"
    4. Find other means of communication (phone, scheduled meetings during free time, facebook, e-mail)
    5. Don't get bored with him (because I know how you women are >__>)

    well if you need a good moment, find one where you are

    1. alone, other people could embarrass him or make him uncomfortable
    2. a time when you feel that you are truly ready, if you have a lot on your plate that day and you are worried about a test etc. dont ask that day, find a day with few commitments so that you would be able to possibly spend the afternoon with him after school
    3. you need to be in conversation, find a light innocent conversation, where you are talking as friends, nothing too goofy or he might think your joking, and nothing too serious like "ya my grandmother just passed away last night, oh ya, wanna go out sometime?" is not a good time.... if you are on something more than a normal conversation that might not be the best time
    4. almost like suggestion 2, if he has a commitment that might be stressing him out he could be acting differently, try to ask at a time when he seems most like his normal self

    hope that helps :lolface:

    It does! A bunch. And it made me giggle. Thank you very much.
    Well today I walked with him to his house after school and we sat outside on his steps talking and sharing scones I made in Chef class this morning.
    We're getting closer...I think I'll just ask him for his number tomorrow since I've been to shy to ask him. ^^;
