Is it stupid to like someone you don't know/never talked to before?
There's this guy in my school, and we have no classes together because he's older than me.
But we've definitely seen each other (in school activities & clubs), and we know of each other's existence...
it's probably a dumb crush, but I don't know what to do about it =\

[angels.disguise]

this is what i call "infatuation"
how can you like him if you dont know him?

go up and talk to him.

[Seraphyx]

Infatuation, lust, whatever you want to call it.

[hiswendy]

It's not stupid, but it's ...not possible? You can't be infatuated
with someone you don't know. I think this is more lust than like?

[Twisted_fatE]

my friend is the exact same way....she'll just see these guys at school and assume sooo much stuff about him, but she won't even talk to them. like others have said, it's not a real crush since u don't really know him so in ur mind, ur putting him on this pedestal...and he might not be all that great of a guy, but there's only one way to find out!

[AHLEENA]

go up and talk to him.

^agreeed.

Goooo

Since he knows of your existence, go up and say "hi!"

Who knows? After talking to him, you might realize you didn't really like him... on the other hand, maybe getting to know him- you'll like him even more? =)

[chopstick^^]

It's normal, and your a teen, one of those crush phase u would experience.

I had a crush on this guy i like for 7 yrs at school. I never talked to him before, but he knew i liked him from the first yr. He's just sooo good looking. Anyways, the last yr, 7th yr, i overheard him asking a guy to ask me out (on his birthday) ... and i instantly stop liking him from that moment. I realised i didn't like him, because he was shy, and quiet, and i could see a relationship ending. Well, he never got to ask me, coz i moved away quickly.

That moment i matured and realised i perfer to be with someone who has a personality. Maybe he has, but im shy, so i want to be with someone who is not as shy as me. I realise communication is the key.

[Teeeee]

My advice: be careful!
I felt the same way, started talking to him for a loooooooooooong time.
and say you don't believe me, but i fell in love with him.
it's been 5 months after being rejected, I still love him

U______U;;
just my luck.

[크리스틴]

yeah, i get infatuated by lots of guys i dont know..people i've never even met in person, for example, people on soompi..LOL creepy .. not the greatest thing but also not entirely stupid

anyways, yes you should talk to him, and agreed with what ahleena said, you never know how youre going to feel after you start talking to him

[iAD0RKABLESi]

it's not stupid at all. i use to like a guy i always saw in the hallways and i approached him and you know..i got to know him better.

and unfortunately, i found out he wasn't my type. annoying boy.

[mintcracker]

it's lame cos you don't even know how their personality is, and basing everything on looks. Superficial really.

[wonderfulyou]

yeah, maybe you just wanna get to know him you know.. but it really is pointless liking someone if you know them. atleast you know of eachother's existence that's good. now just go up and conversate

[The Red Shoes]

It's not stupid, but I do think you should try to talk to him. This kind of "crush" can sometimes be the worst because you build up an illusion about him-- about the type of person he might be vs. the person he really is. I knew a guy who liked a girl for many, many years. Almost a decade I think. But...he never said a word to her. I think that if he had just spoken to her, it might have broken the spell and he may have been disillusioned, or maybe they would have ended up together, or maybe she would not have felt the same way. The point is, it won't go anywhere unless you speak to him. The very least you can be good casual acquaintances

[Honey.bee]

No, not necessarily stupid since relatioships starts with a stanger. Go step towards him and throw a little smile.

[ebolainmemphis]

No. You become "in love" so you go and talk to them, find out about them, and decide if its that person that you want. Its probably one the most brilliant things about humans, that the trial and error thing is so innate.

[starstrukk]

Well you see we throw around the word "like" as an actual substitute to "attracted to."

So no it's not stupid to think someone is attractive based on his physical appearance or how you think his personality might be like based on his actions...

Either way it's a superficial crush so far, so why don't you try getting to know him soon?

[allineedx]

You're infatuated haha. You should definitely go talk to him and get to know him

[swsd415]

AH thanks everyone.
I agree, I'm probably infatuated lol, but I can't help myself ...
The thing is, he is definitely an extremely shy person.
I barely even see him with his group of friends, and I have never seen him talk to a girl before.
I just don't know how I could get to know him without being awkward.
It's not like I can walk up to him in the halls and randomly start talking to him lol.

[한스 ㅋㅋ]

Whatever happens to the Word "interested"?
or is that the same to infatuated?

[eximius]

^ I think they're pretty much the same.

But no, it's not stupid. It's stupid if you say you're in mad-stalker love with him.
