Crush stuff!

I like this guy so much, we aren’t friends i have talked to him a few times but he’s a boarder, im a day pupil and we dont really have common friends - well we have a few but like 1 or 2 and they arnet my close friends, we keep making eyecontanct in class and in the exam hall and he is polluting my mind, ik everyone will say: just go start a convo with him or text him but it isn’t that easy, m scared if i do this he will think im weird and he’s never been alone so i havent even had the chance to do so, he will tell his friends if i text him and then it will get so weird i have a few questions:

1. How do i know if he likes me 2

2. How do i get him to notice me more

3. How can i initiate un awkward convo

Thanks and any other advice would be so helpful!

1.

Firstly, you need to talk to them. How do they even get the chance to develop feelings for you if they don't even know who you are? The only way you'll ever know is if you try and talk to them.

2.

Talk to him. That's guaranteed to make him notice you, even if only for the duration of your conversation.

3.

This is the difficult part. Is there anything that he does or you know about him that you could start a conversation with? Most boys (myself included) would love to talk to new people, regardless of how awkward or unprompted the conversation is. The main thing, I'd say, is just to go and find any excuse to talk to him. Then you can go from there.

Best of luck :smile:

It's never too late. I understand what you're feeling, and putting it off because you feel it's too late will just make it later. There are people in my school who I've been with for 3 years, and yet I don't know anything about them, and if I started a conversation it would just be like I've met them for the first time.

The only thing worse than it not working, is not trying in the first place. You got this

As a boy I gotta say, ask him out before its too late and ur out of his mind. Trust, I’m having the same problems with a person too but I told my friends and they helped, maybe talk to ur best friends? If he makes eye contact or gets awkward when he walks by then its a crush. If he’s confident, either he dont like u or he brave af and initiate the convos cuz us boys are scared of rejection even if we know they like us so be the one to ask out, number, etc.

Crushes are for the timid. This crush of yours is just a human being like all other human beings. I know you may feel awkward because he might reject you, but in life you need the lessons from rejection to grow and mature. Do what you feel comfortable with, but I think it's best to just tell him how you feel and what happens happens.
