i'm not sure if someone already started a topic like this, but yeah. there's this guy i've liked since like, last year, but i've never had a conversation with him. and he happens to be in one of my classes, and i really want to get to know him and possibly go to homecoming with him, but i don't know how to befriend him! Some help?

[Mr. Chan]

Ask if he's a virgin. That should stir up a very interesting conversation.

[Oh Deer]

What class is it?
You could ask him to help you with a problem. C:

[jsp]

If he's in your class I'm sure you can think of plenty of excuses to talk to him. If nothing else, just bring up the class.

[XangelXtranX]

Lol sounds like me hmm...but since the guy i want to talk to not cuz i like him just wanna be friend is in a higher grade so i never had the chance to talk to him . but you know add him on facebook thats always work. then just say hi on the chat thing if ur shy to talk in class. Then next day say hi and slowly build up conversations.

[teelee]

how about "hi i'm *insert ur name here*, can you help me with blahblah?

[Mannosuke]

"Hi this concept is really confusing me can you explain it to me?"

If you're going to tell me "but isn't it weird for a stranger talk to you if you two don't even know each other?" then game over for you.

[emceej]

i was in this situation like 2 weeks ago.

i told him "hey nice shoes!" then i said "what's your name?" then he tells me, i tell him mine. then it just developed from there. compliments work better than walking up to him and saying "hey! nice to meet you. i'm blahblah."

[Harbl]

Ask him if he's gay. If he likes men. Muscly ones.

[AnthonyKkoKko]

Ask him if he's gay. If he likes men. Muscly ones.

that'll make him flee the room...

just ask him if you could borrow a pen or something.

you: "um, i forgot my pencil case at home, may i borrow ur stuff?"
him: "uhh... sure."
you: "thanks! you look like someone i know. what's your name? i might know you!! "

make up something extremely cheesy + corny like that.

sometimes i know it's awkward suddenly talking to a person you've been around so long but said nothing. so you gotta make up some things ^_-

good luck!!!!

[strawberri59]

you could start off by asking, "so I heard you like mudkips...?"

[B0SS]

You just have to be creative through and through.
Be good at improvising.
I can give you some steps that will last you for like a minute or two, but you'll be on your own for the next... long time.

To break the ice I usually don't say hi how are you. Usually go 'sooooooooo...' or 'I'm doing fine, yeah'. Something silly.
Once I just said 'today's my birthday' (it wasn't) and the conversation just went perfectly from there.
Maybe it's just me, but I hate "hey" when you're trying to first talk to someone.
Practice on the internet or something (omegle?) you might meet someone cool after 30 disconnects.
Mind you, all the guys want your ASL so you know what's up.

[kishycathiee]

Talk about the weather!! (=

[*its`STEPHHY.]

A friendly helllo always works for me. (:
Then rant on about something, ask him if he was in one of your classes last year.

[hannieoon]

Ask if he's a virgin. That should stir up a very interesting conversation.

Hahahaha.

Smile widely and just say "hi". That's probably the easiest way to start a conversation.

[jaeka]

hmm, I just started college two weeks ago so I've done a lot of talking to new people.
best way is to be confident and just introduce yourself. if you're happy, confident etc people will be more inclined to talk to you, lol. if you're shy they're gonna be like ... so.
for me, I was just like "Hello! I'm Jade, what's your name?" then they'd introduce themself and I'd ask them what subjects they're taking and then we'd talk about that... then if we're in the same class I'd keep interacting and asking how to do the work, comment on the teacher (XD) etc etc etc
if you talk to them all shy and that it'll probably be awkward, so try your best to be bubbly and confident. ofc you don't want to come on a total loonatic but try to make them feel at ease!

it's worked for me haha :D

[Cadbury]

Oh! I was just in this situation a few months ago.
Only, he wasn't in any of my classes.
One of my friends was pretty tight with him so I'd always hang around him to get to the unknown guy.
Well, my friend kinda forced me too.
Not sure if you have friends who know your guy but it sure helps espiecially if you're on the shy side.
He then asked me to prom

[Tarik]

start with something unexpected that would make him laugh (or at least smile)..
then just go on and have some regular small talk, then ask for his MSN and ask him out!
you could also ask him for his number instead of his MSN, whatever you like

just be funny and self confident, thats the key

[illneverletyougo]

just randomly talk to him if you see him around. maybe if you have like a mutual friend and you see that friend talking to him, you can be like hey to your friend then turn to the guy and be like wait.. aren't you in my ___ class?? and go from there

thats how i met the guy that sits next to me in one of my classes. it works.

[adaytodiefor]

Well usually for me I just say "Hi whats your name? Im blah blah..."
Then talk about the class n stuff, just to begin a convo.
