How to approach someone you like???

Hiya, I'm just wondering how do people approach someone they don't know very well but are attracted to the person...

What sort of things could you say to that person?

Also other than that,give some experiences, you've had, it would be interesting and alot of people could learn from it :biggrin:

(Just thought I release a thread like this because alot of people on the other thread seems to be asking about how to approach a person they like).
You should try to talk to them to get to know them better ~ I did this with a guy I met at my friend's birthday party. I saw him looking through a bunch of CDs and got chatting to him about bands and it turned out we liked the same sort of music. We swapped numbers and email addresses and chat quite a lot over msn.

The easiest way I think is to make an effort to get to know them ~ perhaps approach them and ask them the time or something to begin with if you don't know them too well, and see if it leads to longer chats.

Ooooh thats an interesting experience:smile: Yeah, I think asking for the time is a good one! though you have to make sure you don't have your watch on people!:p:

One of my friend really like this guy at this party we went to and she was soo nervous to talk to him because she thought she was what you call ' out of his league'.

I thought it was pathetic thinking that and told her to talk to him and possibly ask for the time, and off she went, glazing into his eyes, she mumbled for the time pointing to her wrist which had her watch on...DOH....However, they're still good friends now.

yeah i agree.. just find an excuse to start talking about something.. and if you are lucky the conversation will turn out really long.. haha this one time there was this guy at some family gathering but we were the only ones not really a part of the family and we kinda just started talking about general stuff.. like music (he was a musician) and it went onto a whole lot of things which was pretty awesome because it turned out to be one of the most awesome conversations i've had with people.. and its funny because it was the ONLY time we've ever met but we talk on msn a lot and are pretty good friends and this happened like 1 year ago or more.. and the reason we havent met again is coz we are in different countries.. but yeah.. its usually the way i judge if i like the guy.. he should be easy to talk to :smile:

There are some ideas which might be helpful to some people:..:stupido2:

School/ 6th form or college:

In the corridor:


You could:

Walk past the person you like and say 'hi' , 'good morning' or 'good afternoon' (this one is probably the most common) - I'm sure the person notice that someone likes him/her and would notice you more. The person would possibly think your friendly and start talking to you.:p:


OR... You could drop your books and files in front of person and hope that the person would pick it up and start a conversation with you - just be careful it's not a heavy book which you might end up dropping on their foot..ouch..




Sitting in the canteen/ cafe


You could:

Look at the person, hoping to catch their eyes; when you do smile and turn away then the next time their looking at you and smiling. You could go over and start chatting. Just make sure it's not your best mate they fancy.


Walk over to the person and say 'hi, I've seen you around somewhere...', say something that could catch their attention. Once you've cracked the ice, ask if he/she would like to go out for lunch sometimes...



Library:

You could:

If you notice the person doing similar subjects to you, start a conversation on the subject and ask for some help...



On the way to school/6th form/college/work:

Bus:

You could ask for the time; and let the conversation flow...etc


OR if the weather is bad, you could complain about the weather ; especially when your from England...



Out of all these locations, you could just say 'HI' which the most common, as long as the person is not in a serious conversation with their friends...that would be abit akward.

Hope that helped, even though some of it is so common and obvious.

Plus I'm sure other people have more ideas; care to spill them :cool:

if you share the same subject, ask them for help, even if you dont need it, i'm sure there'll be happy to help you out,

or get talking and have a laugh with them, thats what happened to me, just show them your interested, thats always the best way, and if they dont take a hint, then there not worth your time, no matter how good looking they are

you should always look for someone who is going to treat you well, gonna be there for you and someone whom you can share your life with, cause if you dont you wont be happy in that relationship

hope that helps
