LIKING this guy in yr13 but he's leaving :-(

Hiya,
I've recently noticed this lad in yr13, and I'm in yr12; I've seen him looking at me and smiling a few times. I don't know him exactly but I really would like to approach him, he seems like a quiet decent lad and I'm really stuck on how to talk to him instead of looking too forward. So any tips on how you lads like to be approached by a girl you don't know that well...:redface:

I really like to get to know him before it gets too late because he's leaving soon for uni.

Thanx, any advice is appreciated.

well, I don't wanna break your heart or anything, but i honestly think its too late, unless you approach him right now and somehow get his contact info (email, mobile,etc...), you two could always catch up together some other time.

I also had the same thing a while ago, but this girl is goin to uni in another country
I had the same sort of thing but the other way around - I'm the lad in Year 13 and she's the girl in Year 12 and we would catch each other's eye all the time ... long story short I got her number just in case something might happen over the summer. You never know. Like potter said - you only get one life - just do what you feel!

Yeah, would you be flattered if a girl asked how your exams went and then introduced herself to you? I mean i can't just ask for his msn addy cos that's too forward...I just don't know how to act around him cos I don't talk to him much but we look at each other most of the time... it's annoying so I've decided to make the first move.

I'm a girl
Go for it. You've got the whole summer! If you're always catching each others eye then he probably likes you and doesn't want to say anything, and boys are always saying how they'd love a girl to make the first move... so do it!!

i'd go for it but be prepared to be knocked back. Don't mean to be pessimistic, but if you think the worst you usually get something good happening to you :smile: good luck

I'm in exactly the same situation as you. Except i'm the boy and i'll be going to uni. Cos i'm shy, i have not made a move when i've fancied her for ages. Also cos i found out she was going out with someone from my year in the same school. Anyway now they have split up and i really want to make a move before i never see her again. If i were you i'd talk to this lad. Just tell him how you feel?

When you say you don't really know him, have you spoke to him before?

Gosh! Your scaring me, i've just recently split up with my bf and i really like this lad, I havn't spoken to him properly just questions and answers... but then it was just eye contacts afterwards. And i have no idea how to talk to him. I find it awkward just going up to him and asking for his msn addy :-S
i think i know who anonymous 1 is!! i was just talking to a friend today about her situation and it matches anonymous 1's situation and this friend also goes on TSR!!! :smile: ..........
i think you should talk to him, say hello, ask him how his exams went, ask him how his english teacher is :smile:...blah blah!

Get chatting to him about his exams (and yes, he'll probably be flattered that a random girl is taking an interest) but then end the conversation prematurely - say you have to go, or something like that. Then you have an easy move into jotting down your email address and giving it to him so that you can continue the conversation later. :smile:

that's good but also leae early, so he doesn't think he is so important that you'll drop everything!

Yep, a quick taste of your stimulating conversational skills, a casual exchange of email addresses and then you are off!

Just writing down your email address for him is probably more sensible than saying "Soo.... what's your email address?" because it wont make him feel like he's on the spot, and if you have misread him and he doesn't like you then there is no embaressment - you can take the hint later when he doesn't ever add you to his MSN. :smile:
