okay okay so I know this is going to sound super cliche but its nearing valentines day and I just so happened to have a crush on this guy.

We're in the same club but we go to different schools, so technically we're supposed to be "opponents" haha. We went against each other once and I really shouldve talked to him after but I'm a super shy girl so I didn't ><
My friend (whose in the same club with me) added him on facebook
and I recently got a facebook because my friend got irritated that she had to upload all her pictures of me in it separately on photobucket instead of just being able to tag me on facebook like she does with all our other friends.
so I don't want to add the guy on facebook because it'll look like I got facebook just to talk to him or something (maybe i'm thinking too much?).
so now the problem is how do I start talking to him?
I mean because we only went against each other once and I didnt talk to him after, wouldnt it be weird if I suddenly out of nowhere started talking to him at the next tournament (in 2 weeks)?
My friend told me hes not competing in the next one, hes just going to watch his teammates. I'm not competing either, so this will make it harder for me to approach him because its not like I can go up to him and say
"hey you're competing in this tournament too? cool"


So now what?

Edit: I can't tell my friend to set us up or even that I like him because shes the type of person whos very straightforward about things and would no doubt judge me or go "uh okay" if she knew I liked a guy I hardly even knew. She doesnt even tell her own boyfriend she loves him because she doesn't believe in a such a thing.

Your friend could, for lack of a better phrase, "set you up". If she talks to him on her facebook, she could approach him at the tournament while you're with her, you guys could converse, etc.

Haha, what I would do is walk up to him during the competition, and be like.. "Hey, you look familiar. Didn't I go against you once? How come you're not competing?" or something like that. And from that you could start up a conversation.

Come to think of it. This sounds a little bold. Well, that's just me. And this is just some advice.

Hey, I think its so cool when a girl wants to make a move. Like someone said, get your friend to set you up. Get her to walk over with you to tell him hi, and when its time for the game, your friends leave and his does too, and you guys can watch the game together. Just make conversation.

Okay... edited... didn't see your edit.

In that case, a direct approach. The whole you look familar...why aren't you playing thing. Guys don't mind girls approaching them one bit. He might be a little surprised, but no doubt he won't mind. We find it very cute. Well I do at least.

[claire.rawr]

how bout this.. just grow some and talk to him.

not that hard.

[Kitty07]

Why don't you just stop overthinking how you're going to approach him and just go with your instincts when he's actually around ?
Walk up to him , open your mouth , and talk .. that's how you can make your move (:
If he finds an interest in what you're saying , move on to asking him what he's planning for valentines yadayada ..

[curiouscao]

Pft , your over thinking it
Just go up to him next time and talk with him a bit ( guys like it when girls make the move)
"
hey whats up" , then slap him on the butt (jk)

Then add him on facebook

[Ayuu~]

you're definitely overthinking it tooo much....
since in the next tournament, both of you are there to support your team and not there to play...
u can casually go up to him, smile and just talk to him..
u can start off by talking about the tournament... bet on which team will win... etc etc...
just be friendly.. itz not as hard as it seemz..

im a shy girl myself, and ii used to be scared to go talk to someone. too..
and i realised if i kept doing that i wouldnt get anywhere...
so oneday i just decided to stop being so shy and just talk...
just give yourself some confidence...

Bro it's hot when a girl makes the move.

I'd do what these folks tells ye. Talk to him, and add him on facebook. If he notices that you're on facebook just to talk to him, ... I'm sure he'll think it quite awesome that a girl went to that much trouble for him.

But don't brag about it lol, that's just depressing.

Just go talk to him ...

Like others said, since you played against him in this tournament before, you could just ask him why he's not competing this time, etc.

[5.mystline]

I'm not competing either, so this will make it harder for me to approach him because its not like I can go up to him and say

Yes you can, you just don't want to..It's not that hard as you're making It out to be.

[kishycathiee]

Well, some of my friends would say BEND.. AND SNAP. LOL

On a more cereal stand, if you guys aren't playing in that tourney
maybe you guys are gonna sit on the same bench and you could talk there?

[greenana]

Just go up to him and say "why are you not competing"? And begin a conversation there.

-hope it works out for u.

[mekka]

I am a girl, just go up to him and talk, if I like someone and I see a mutual glimmer of likeness I just approach him...

[Kaydee_Lee]

don't think so much about it, add him on facebook and when you see him again say hi to him. start a convo..it's only friendly, and things will fall into place.

best of wishes to you =)

[xKanane]

Approach him and..GOOD LUCK! ^___^~

[littlejade]

If your so shy, then give up. You can't do anything if your shy, can't talk to him, won't talk to him.
Then u should find someone ur feel more comfortable with, thats why relationship should start from friendship, then flow into relationship. wots all the awkwardness for? ..

If you like him, then start talking to him out of no where. no one really cares. n since he has this tournament thing that your interested in, then talk about that. Just talk to him like how u talk to ur friends, then ur feel relax.

if u plan to add him on fb, u got to talk to him. n start talking like friends, see wot hes really like.
he might not be as good as u think he is, i wonder what u like about him, that can b the time to find out.

its okay to be attracted to him, but ur gotta get to know the real him, n then decide if u really like him or not.
