<p>I feel really bad asking a dating question, a second time, in CC but I always seem to get the best advice here.. even on dating.</p>
<p>So here it goes.
I really like this guy that I met this year. We are not good friends or anything, but I truly do like him. And because I cannot shut up, I am sure that he already knows.
He is not the kind of guy that goes out with a random girl (or at least, he doesn't seem like it) and frankly, neither am I (but I still truly do like him!!)
Anyways, my question is - what should I do about it? I have no experience trying to get a guy to date me and I really don't know what to do!!
Should I become friends with him and just wait (but he is a senior!!) to see what happens?
Should I flirt all the time and hope he asks me out (but wouldn't I seem like too easy to get?)</p>
<p>Is he in any of your classes? You could ask if you could go for coffee/dessert & go over something you were interested in/confused about in class? Maybe ask him if you could have coffee/dessert at the campus coffee shop & "pick his brain" on setting your course schedule & choosing your major & career options?
Does he share any of your interests? Maybe you could both participate in a campus activity you both like--a hike organized by a campus organization? Big Brothers/Big Sisters with the campus Y? Speech & Debate?
Do you have any mutual friends that you could recruit to do a group activity, which takes the pressure off you & him individually & is a lot more fun for everyone?
I'm sure others will have more ideas, but those are things that have worked for me in the past. I always did activities where we met campus and in public when I didn't know the guy very well--there's less pressure & it's safer (better to be safe than sorry still matters).</p>
<p>HImom... heh... that doesn't like anything my friends or myself do. Don't play coy and flirt like integ suggested and work from there. Whether or not he actually asks you out depends a lot on his personality. Some guys will and some guys won't. If you're getting good vibes, then go for it (I mean he is a senior so you've got limited time here). And believe integ is definitely right about the flirting... works like a charm... (almost TOO well)</p>
<p>flirt but dont do it too extreme..... just do stuff like gently bump into him when your walking next to each other or like wrap your arm under his. Also just be yourself (that is if your fun) and let him find out things about you.</p>
<p>margsala: I know this is from a while ago, but I'm in your exact situation. I'm not the kind of girl who falls for random guys--I'm the kind of girl who makes fun of those who do--but somehow I've fallen for a guy in the grade above me, and it's ridiculous, because I'm incapable of flirting. Ahh.</p>
<p>So... no advice from me, but yeah, I sympathize.</p>
<p>Thisyearsgirl, have you tried "gently bumping into him" or stroking his hair. You gotta be bold baby or those senior girls will steal him away!!!:)</p>
<p>well you best do something about that. be "natural" not natural (ie seem natural when you're really trying really hard to do something you dont normally do)</p>
