the question:
there is this guy I really want to talk to. But I don't want to seem like a complete idiot by just walking up to him and saying hi. How should I get to talk to him

sheila’s advice
You would be a complete idiot to not just start talking to him. Just start up a conversation. You could inquire about his classes. Ask if he did anything fun over the weekend. Just talk. He might be shy and not say much back, but at least you would have broken the ice.

trixie’s advice
Take Sheila's advice. Worse case scenerio: ask him for the time. Just make sure you're not wearing a watch when you do it. :)

Wrote... ok, im having a problem similar to yours. but what i have figured is the easiest, is to make ye contact, let him know uve noticed him. see if after a few days of this, he starts looking to make eye contact with you. if u see him, be like, hey. or smile and say it. never know until u try! 205.188.208.102 submitter's IP address

Wrote... In my group of friends I am the one who isnt shy to speak to strangers and this helps me make friends easily. Some of my friends find doing that difficult, and I'm always ready to step in and move the conversation their way. Perhaps one of your friends could make the necessary introductions? Try and use any contacts you have to their fullest potential. Hope that helps, otherwise suck it up and at least cough up a 'hey whats up?' hes just a guy. Ta! 216.75.180.244 submitter's IP address
