Help needed!

Okay, so I know this is asked a lot and is really cliché, but there is this really great guy who's in my classes. I would like to know if he likes me or not, but as a shy girl, it's pretty difficult. He is also a semi-shy guy. We're around the same age and same grade (freshman year, high school). It's hard to tell if he just wants to be friends or he likes me as a crush. Can you guys help? I'd really appreciate it.

Well, I'm kind of going through a similar thing right now, and my only advice is to just try to be his friend. Friendship can often grow into something more, and might not feel as rushed to him. That's just my take on it.

Thanks! Also, I think my name and age got cut off. It's suppoed to say "a girls who needs help" and "high school"

Huh. Sounds familiar. Odd, I don't think I'm in a situation like that - oh, wait. My friend is, though. Ummm my advice to her was to assume he wants to be friends and try to get to know him. Be honest and sincere, and FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR CHANCES TREAT HIM LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING. I've come to the realization that people in general are a WHOLE WHOPPING MORE ATTRACTIVE if they are cool with hanging out with both genders instead of treating the two differently. Also I've noticed that guys (at least the ones I know [shout out to mah bros] tend to be chiller with girls than vice versa. Like, I'm cool with all of my friends that are girls, but sometimes they act a bit... Wierd around guys.

Let's get back on track here. I think you should treat him like you would treat your best friend. Get to know his strengths and weaknesses, perfections and flaws, and if you really want to get serious then think through whether you could see this guy as a partner. It'll save some pain later. I think. AnYhOo. I honestly have no idea what to do when it comes to relationships, I've turned down a couple of 'I like like you'-s, but I've never been turned down myself. Because I've never offered myself up. *'Should I be happy that I'm alone' face*

I don't think this helps, but if it did, good on ya. You scrapped a message out of this jumble of words.

Hope it works out for ya though. :/

I don't have much experience with this personally, but I do know that try not to, like, suffocate them. Act yourself, don't think about it, and first try to be just friends. Act like you're just their regular friend, and be yourself.
