<p>I'm attracted to this guy who's smart, funny, good-looking, yadayadayada. We're in two totally different social circles (i.e. his friends party and mine don't), but I get the feeling that he's interested in me, too.</p>
<p>I'm at the point in my high school career (second semester senior) where I want to do everything that I'm going to regret later on if I DON'T do it, and figuring out really and truly, once and for all if he likes me is at the top of my list. The problem is, I really have given the impression that I'm this workaholic ice queen over the past three years...sigh</p>
<p>Do you guys have any suggestions about how I could subtely and tactfully approach this guy without looking like a total fool when he tells me that he doesn't feel the same way (so yeah, basically I'm afraid of rejection...aren't we all?)? I have literally no experience in this area, so I'd appreciate any advice with which I could start building some semblance of reference for the future...</p>
<p>yeah, I'm in one of his classes, it's a really small school, we're acquaintances, and argh I can't believe I'm asking this! We've always been "friendly competitors," I guess you could say.</p>
<p>Well, you should start talking to him more, joke around with him, tease him in a flirtatious way, etc...start giving him glances so he can see you looking at him and try catching his eye a lot so he can start getting the message...if he likes it and starts talking to you more, making the effort himself, he probably likes you. If he doesn't he is either not getting the message or he's not into you.</p>
<p>find opportunities to ask him 4 help with school work. i don't mean act dumb or anything, but just stuff like, "Do u know what the English homework was?" avoid questions that have a yes or no answer. and then just start talking 2 him...um...this'll work best when he's settled and not busy, b/c if he's like dashing out the school door 2 his car afterschool, u won't b able to talk 4 2 long. I always make excuses 2 call guys. I'll b like, "yeah..hi!!! what wer the directions for the science assignment?....." as if do i care about the homework. lalala...</p>
<p>Oh well, it's your senior year, and im sure your off to college some where far away, so might as well go for it. Cause if he says no, your off to college anyways, and won't see him.</p>
<p>If he's into partying, he won't look at you the way you want him to look at you, unless your partying with him. </p>
<p>But if you really want him to take notice of you, just go up to him during Lunch and ask him if you guys could talk, and once you guys are alone walking around or whatever, tell him your interested and tell him to meet you after the next period or so he can walk you to class. Don't give him the option to say yes or no.</p>
<p>"subtely and tactfully" -- there's your problem right there. Scoff at this nonsense. You are a second semester senior, life's finally coursing through your veins and you want to be "subtle" and "tactful?" C'mon man! Take life by the horns. You don't have the time or motive to be so clandestine. Be direct, be daring... be adventurous for crying out loud! You owe it to yourself to give yourself some decent memories to look back on say, "Yeah, that was one ballsy move but I did it." Go out and just do it!</p>
<p>ok, if he's a guy and you want to know if he likes you then give him a window of oppertunity. just start talking to him a lot and see how he reacts. if it's positive or if he flirts a lot back and approaches you etc. then you just flirt some more. otherwise, back away.</p>
