You can always just say hi to him, just introduce yourself and say you see him every time at the bus stop and around school. Ask him what grade he's in and what's his name and that sort of thing. If he listens to his ipod on the bus you can ask what kind of music he listens to.

[tofumonkey]

well, i'm somewhat in the same situation you are in ? xD
haha.
but well the obvious as said, introduce yourself, ask what he's listening to, etc.
or if he's wearing a shirt or jacket or something, compliment it or something ;D
luckily i have the same kind of accessory (LOL ACCESSORY ): ! )
as this one dude and it's something that's not that common haha.
do something like that ;D ?
i probably wont have the guts to say anything, so you go make up for it ;D !
the bus thing was pretty cute haha :3



or do the cheesy thing when you accidentily bump into him xD .... ?
and drop your notebook.. ;D
or something Dx .

good luck :3 .

I experienced that once in hs. i really liked him and was pretty infatuated. i even got a job, coincidentally, working with him. that was when i stopped liking him. lol anyway, that wasn't much help. lol
ok so advice for u... just say "hi." like seriously, that is the bravest and most confident way. next time u meet his eye, just wave at him. haha he might be confuse... but i'm sure he'll say hi back. then yeah, u can start a convo by complimenting his clothing or something.. then introduce urself. err, i'm being repetitive because i just noticed the others wrote the same thing. anyway, good luck! let us know how it goes =)

Try talking to him or just smile(in a way to show that you're interested. Not a shy smile, but a flirty smile) when you two catch each other staring, that's the best advice I can give you. Just tell him, "Hi." ^__^. You can do it.

[bellarose]

I had always been the shy and quiet type. But recently, I've begun really changing (personality-wise) thanks to my library desk job (which I love) and my business classes (which are presentation-heavy).

Anyway, I think you should try to say hi to him. If you're ever at the bus stop at the same time, and if the bus stop is not part of the school you can say something like "you look familiar" or "do you go to *insert school name*" I mean, I don't think it's awkward to say "hi" and ask if they go to the same school or live in the same town. Then you can be like "I'm *insert your name*" and he should respond with his name. And end with "nice to meet you." I think it's a perfectly normal way to meet someone new. It might be weird at first, but you can get used to just introducing yourself like that...try practicing around campus??? (I did it a lot as a college freshman, and whenever I go to events or something)

Actually, I am currently going through a similar situation. I like a guy a lot. I'm a junior and he's a senior, so my time is very very limited! He invited me to his bday party once, and after that I decided to muster up courage to talk to him at his desk (he also works in the library, but a different department. So I was able to get him to eat dinner with me that night, but we haven't really talked or seen each other since. I recently got his number...from his friend...unintionally..soooo I haven't given up yet!

(my answer is lengthy too!)

Hey...I'm new to this site cause my friend just introduced it to me today and I came across this section on soompi right when I'm in dire need of help. Didn't know where else to turn, hence my topic title.

I'm a sophomore and he's a junior, so we basically don't have any classes together. But I've seen him around school and we've had brief interactions with each other before, but nothing that big to stir up a conversation. I only see him at lunch, around school, and at the end of the day when we're waiting for our buses.

Sometimes I smile at him but for like only 1 sec when I see him outside waiting for his bus, but I can't continue for another 3 and that's usually how long you're supposed to hold a smile if you want to show that you're interested, right? I don't know.

Anyway, one time I caught him staring at me while I was sitting on the bus (he was standing RIGHT outside by my window) and when I looked at him, he looked down immediately. I did too. Agh. I don't know what to do or what to say! I become all happy but nervous at the same time and every function of my body immobilizes. I can't think or speak without my thoughts jumbling up or stuttering. I can't sleep at night either. I mean take this, I went to bed at 11 and couldn't fall asleep until 2(2 in the damn morning!!) cause he continued to invade my thoughts. And like out of nowhere, I'd smile for seconds on end cause I'd think of him and I don't even know who he is. I'm afraid everyone will think something's wrong with me. I'm not even joking. I feel like such a creeper cause hell, I don't even know his name. But just push that fact away for awhile and focus on my main problem: I want to be normal again! And the only way I can do that is to garner up the courage to approach and talk to him.

That being said, I'd like to know what should I say if I were to start up a convo w/ him and where? Cause if I just go up to him randomly, that would be sooooo weird and awkward. I can't imagine myself doing something so spontaneous like that. Like I just want to slowly get to know him and for him to notice me without making it so obvious. Help? Your advice doesn't have to match with what I ask for, maybe if it's good I'll take it. I know I sound desperate but just look past that. Haha. I've honestly never been in this kind of situation before --- I've never liked a person this much, infatuation or not. Sorry for this being so lengthy! Thanks for reading though.

Oh and if you've ever been in this situation before, what did you do? And if you actually did something, what happened after? Thanks again.

woooooooow....reverse the genders and you would have my exact story...haha bus stop...sophomore-junior thing..wow haha

well we started talking just by finding a point of common interest...if you've seen him in a club or something (like rotc) or something like that..talk to him about it....starting a conversation is easier than you think so take a deep breath before you try so you can think straight haha

and me and this girl have been going really good so far....she's made me really happy and i never regretted a thing..well until recently but its cuz of something i did haha...but dont be nervous..go after this guy..

[VietBunnyChan]

Be bold girly! Just staring at him and talking to his friends won't bring you closer. Don't go around, just go in. When one of my guy friends was interested in me, I had no classes at all with him and never seen him before when he came up to me even though he knew basically all of my friends. He came up to me and said "Hey are you asian? I like asians." I was weirded out but I was still nice to him. Then the first day of the next school year he came up to me during lunch when I was alone, complimented my socks, became friends, and have a class together.

Come up to him when he's by himself and be random if you can't think of anything to say. It's not weird at all to come up and say hi to someone you don't know. Even if you come off a little weird at first, just keep talking with him and his impression will change. Just don't go overboard and stalkerish. My friend seemed really weird to me at first as well and kept saying hi to me when I didn't notice. If you only talk for a short amount of time his impression of you may seem weird but a long one could make you good acquaintances.

OMG GIRL... JUST TALK TO HIM! It won't kill you at all. You know you want to talk to him, so as Nike says, JUST DO IT! or else you'll regret it. The worst that can happen is... nothing really.

Okay, talk to him. But say what?! )= That's what I'm having trouble on. "hi..." sounds so bland :T

Say... 'hey your friends with.. -insert your friend's name here- (the one he put his arm around)... just wondering do you like her?' Yeah... it won't be random to say that.

LOL he better not!
But the thing is that they JUST met. I wouldn't ask that...Or should I? haha Wait no.
I'm impossible.

I think you need to step up and just go talk to him, what do you have to lose. Just go up and say anything, if you keep being all shy what happens when it's too late. Just do it when you have a chance and don't give up.

Wish me luck!!!!
