<p>wow, this seems like a super dumb thread, really sorry, just wanted some advice, well not really advice, more like comfort, input. So, there is this person that is in all of my classes and I really like them. They are one of the most unique people in the school, no one really knows them, but I feel I do, sort of. Sometimes they are nice, and sometimes they walk away fast without noticing anyone, they are super different. But I am quiet and would never say anything. Second of all, I would never actually carry out the "going out" thing or do anything of the sort. Not morally right for me at the moment. They are not my religion, so it would never work out. They don't know I like them at all, and we don't even talk that much. In one of our classes, we had to do a project about a random person that we picked out of an envelope. Guess who I got, yep, that person. The teacher says that I "get" them and thinks I would do a good job(I don't even know why the teacher would say that). What do I do? What should I say in the project, how could it be the least awkward yet still get a nice message across? Most of all, how do I not embarras myself, for I have no idea if this person likes me at all(scared to let my guard down, as, i think the other person). School is almost over and I am so sad to be leaving, especially because of this person, but I don't show it, I hardly show any of my emotions and same with the other person. Any advice. It's okay if you ask for clarifications, i know im vague, but im extremely paranoid.</p>
<p>bump?
bump?</p>
<p>and if anyone thinks this is utterly stupid, please say so, I want someone to help me think more clearly...</p>

I;m very confused. How many people are you talking about?
You start with "this person" (singular) and then switch to "they" (plural)</p>
<p>Edit: reading the rest of you post, I understand it. Just (in the future) - especially on college essays! - don't mix up singular and plural.</p>
<p>And that's a tough assignment. How are other people portraying their person?</p>
<p>what do you mean by how other people are portraying this person? everyone gets a random person, a different person, and they can't tell that person until that day when we present. The project is fairly open, we can do whatever we want.</p>
<p>oh and by the way, im done with college essays, im a senior headed to college next year, im done with school in a week!!</p>
<p>any other ideas, i need help or advice today</p>
<p>any input whatsoever, anything, would be greatly appreciated, so if you look at this thread, please give a response. Thank you, i really appreciate it!</p>
<p>You could try to get across that you admire that person without actually saying that you like him/her, especially if you're not ready to date. You can be complimentary without bringing in your feelings for that person. If you don't overdo it, he/she will probably be flattered, not alarmed. It could open up communication, and you can find out what he/she thinks about you.</p>
<p>You're done with school in a week? I'm so jealous... I have another month.</p>
<p>Thank You So Much!!!!</p>
<p>any other advice?</p>
<p>grow some confidence. be careful about how you aproach this person at first - don't be too "out there" just yet. get to know them with really simple questions - music, movies, where they're from, family, what they do outside school, etc. then base your next questions on what you find out from there. don't be uniform and interview-esque. this is a real person who you obviously have student relationship with, not someone you're going to meet, interview, and never talk again. if you find out you have a lot in common - religion isn't stopping you from just being close friends. and you're in HIGH SCHOOL almost COLLEGE. it's not time to get married or think about being serious with anyone! </p>
<p>seriously, don't be embarassed, they won't judge you and even if you think they will - it's a project for school, use the excuse that you HAVE to in your head. this is something you should try to have fun with. you're gonna have to be outgoing next year - frosh year is all about making friends and meeting new people. </p>
<p>what's the worst that can happen? you have nothing in common? okay, well now at least you know and won't be left wondering. you really dislike each other? like you said, school's over soon. you don't have to see each other every day.</p>
<p>try to get this persons number or email, etc. after you last talk about the project. that way you can ask if something comes up while you're doing the project by yourself. AND email/text them in a couple of weeks just asking what's up? you never know, this could be really good for the both of you.</p>
<p>good luck with this. remember, CONFIDENCE!</p>
<p>any other ideas, im super nervous about this, i have to say it in front of the entire class, and it's gonna be super awkward, especially if this person thinks my project was just really dumb.(we aren't supposed to tell the person about it)</p>
<p>Why do you keep referring to one person as 'they?'</p>
<p>because im trying not to disclose my gender, although I don't think it is working. I realize i'm not being grammatically correct, sorry.</p>
<p>From the post, I'd guess you were a girl.</p>
<p>im not surprised...wow, you probably think im really dumb right now</p>
<p>^^Who cares if Suavemente thinks you are dumb? It's just a CC forum. :P For all you know, he could just be a socially awkward gamer with nothing better to do than go on CC in his spare time, so his opinion of you doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>I agree with the previous posts about confidence. Who cares about this boy, the most important thing is that you get some confidence. And dating right before you go off to college is not a good idea, so I'd say you let it be. Otherwise I'd agree with the previous posts about getting the message across that you admire him versus that you have a crush on him.</p>
<p>^ While I am far from a gamer (They keep my attention for 15 minutes max) and I would be willing to bet my left nut that I have more of a social life than just about everyone on this board, I did not call you stupid :) I just pointed out that there really is no point in trying to hide your gender. Lots of people need some guidance when dealing with little crushes and things like that.</p>
