I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but I need a little help with this. It's my fault for being such an introverted person earlier in my life (through elementary school) and now I'm eating the consequences. I've been alone, and no relationship I've chased after has ever worked....

Before I do anything else, I want to ask everyone who reads this to not give me shit about how it's all my fault, I know it is. Also, I don't want anything about how it won't last, that doesn't matter to me.

Every time I see her, my chest is made of lead, my throat swells my head is filled with helium, and I can hardly ever build up the confidence to talk to her. Whenever I do talk to her, I can hardly finish a sentence; I always think I'm saying the wrong thing and lose all my thoughts. She's the only girl I would ever consider. She's the smartest one I know, and that matters a lot to me.

The situation is: She's a junior (3rd year of high school for DE BRIISH SHIDE [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFR5oI9wdow]), I'm a freshman (first year [I guess I subconsciously took my uncle's advice to go for older girls like he did. I will now hate him forever and ever :/ )]. I know she likes me as a friend, because she sometimes asks if I want to sit at her table at lunch (today, I accomplished pussying out!) and tries to introduce me to her friends, which hasn't worked so far; they look at me like I've got a poodle stapled to my face, say "Hi" awkwardly, and leave. I see her second period (of seven) and sometimes lunch. Don't talk to her that much in 2nd because we sit at different tables and aren't allowed to move, and I can't talk to her after because she always hangs out with her friends who don't like me. I could ask her for her number, but I'm afraid she might think we don't know each other well enough.

Please help, this is important to me, and try not to be too big of a smartass.


EDIT: I forgot a huge factor out of my current inability to concentrate very hard....... She currently has a boyfriend, and since I'm not a veteran dater like I'm sure some of you are, or pose as, I would like to know how long I should wait after they break up, if they ever do.

EDIT2: Have her number, she thinks I'm funny now... most people who know me do, just not anyone else.

Honestly good personal hygiene and a good personality will get you far. If not with her then one of her friends. Your young still so believe me when I tell you there will be more. Alot more. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work out just press on. Also the more good friends you have that are female the better your odds are. Girls love to play matchmaker.

it seems to me that you should ask her for her number, what's worse failiure or a missed oportunity?

the point being: ask her cause if you never try you never know, if she gives it to you: Great, ask her out worst case senario you get the let's just be friends speach, best case senario it goes well and turns into a meaningful realationship that lasts for a while and helps you to mature emotionaly (not saying you're emotionaly imature)

if she doesn't then ah well, at least you tried

Well this is the clincher really.

If you think she'll go for it, do it.

If you think she's not interested, don't. Or do, just in case she is.

That's all there is to it I'm afraid...you'll just have to either get over you nervousness and do it, or leave it. I should know, I'm just the same.

Also, there's a relationship advice thread made by Bonsaik, you should post in that.

ASk her about her interests, you can start there by chiming in once in a while once you are confident in your ability to say words try sentences and build from there into a conversation about stuff, it's actually as simple as it sounds.

There's your problem.

I don't know her at all, but most girls would rather date someone their age. Imagine if a sixth grader asked you out. It's the same situation, except with the genders reversed.

Write her a note saying "I feel to awkward around you to speak, probably because I have feelings for you.
But I wrote you this note instead
=D"

Or something in that matter

Yes I am serious

EDIT: And (if I remember correctly, I am not great with grades and stuff), but that makes her 18, and you 15?
And she likes you?
DAMN you're lucky
She's seventeen actually. But I'm 15. A+ for effort! And thanks, I know I'm a lucky bastard, just not very skilled...

What, me? It's an honest topic, and you seem like a troll with that random comment.

I think we need a standard Escapist response to all relationship threads. Someone write up a good one, and then when one gets started, we can send it out and the person goes on their way with that much more knowledge. We can even have ones for different situations: Marriage, High School, GLBTG, Scorned Lover... I know someone has to think this is a good idea, because in reality, most problems we all face in relationship are generally interchangable.

Anyways, my advice to you would be to get over it, divert your attention, and focus on your studies. You have a whole life ahead of you hopefully, and there will be plenty of time to waste on relationships when you are ready to get serious and are more emotionally mature to handle different outcomes.

This is half me hating the current social norm of dating (aka NOT dating).. But.. I think you should ask for her number or messenger address or email or something of that nature (not a facebook add) because you don't know each other that well yet. You need more time to talk and find out who each of you are to the other. How will she ever know if she really likes you if you hardly talk?

I hate today's standard of.. "oh I gave him my number and we went to a movie so I guess we're dating and he's my boyfriend". NO! You ARE dating. Dating means to date, to go on dates with people to test them as candidates for a girlfriend/boyfriend. If you don't date, you don't really know. *bangs head against the wall* Sorry personal vendetta here..

Like I said before, go for it and ask for a means of contacting her out of school that is personal and private (which is why a facebook add won't do). Or, give her YOUR number?

The sweet delicious irony here is that you come off as more of a troll than the one you're accusing.

Anyway, ask for her number, talk to her or ask her out would perhaps be the best idea. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

The worst thing you'd get is a no. And that is no big deal in the long run.
Also try to improve your social skills, they will benefit you later, I assure you. I struggled with shyness through elementary and my early teens, but I've managed to become more outgoing and social around people I don't know. It's possible to change.

You're in high school. It seems like a big deal now and it certainly is to you, just know that whatever happens, you will be fine and there will be other girls. Even if it works out with this one, there will still be other girls... So just relax and enjoy the awkwardness of youth because before you know it, you'll be into the monotony and boredom of early adulthood.

That'd be what you're looking for.

This goes out to the OP as well, post this thread in the link I've provided

Just talk to her, take a risk. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I took my share of risks when I wanted a relationship and it eventually worked.
