<p>There are these two cool people in my class and we hardly ever talk much because we come to class and then leave. One of them recommended me a book and I read it, so I'm going to tell him I liked it. I'm afraid that's all I say to say. I want to get to know them better and become friends but there's no time for that. We go separate ways. </p>
<p>The other one, I don't even know if we have anything in common. How do I get to know him without sounding like a creep or something. Should I just say, "hey, how's the homework coming along?" or something. Er... I don't know. </p>
<p>I'm just really shy. I'm so nervous when I talk to people.</p>
<p>people are going to tell you “just be yourself” and stupid **** like that. you just need better social skills, which comes with experience. you need something situational to say, which no one here can help you with.</p>
<p>catch up with them after class and be like “hey i read that book, it was pretty sweet.” then add them on fb.</p>
<p>mission accomplished. ask them out to lunch or something. genders of each party would be helpful itt.</p>
<p>Ask them out for lunch or dinner or to hang out or see a new movie…</p>
<p>The idea of just bringing up the book in a conversation is good. As for learning about the other one, just ask some question or bring something up that interests you. Maybe, “Did you see that new movie, ‘____’? I keep hearing it’s great” or “[Other kid’s name] mentioned [book title]. Ever read it? I really liked it.”</p>
<p>You’ll learn how to improve your social skills pretty quickly in college.</p>
