Sooo first day of school, right? The only new kid in my class is kinda cute and I wanna get to know him but he's REALLY shy and quiet. How do I start a conversation with him?

I'd just walk up and say "Hi! What's your name?" But that's just me.

I was thinking going up and saying "Hi, you're Matt, right? Or do you prefer Matthew...?" then maybe ask him if he has a favourite video game.
Grobness... Now I'm nerrrvous

Don't be nervous keep calm and flutter on as Bronys would put it. Its a simple question its not like you asking him to marriage or even at this point to date. Just be confident that you can do it have fait in your self.

Feeling a bit bummed out right now... Today was the first day back at school and I was looking forwards to being able to get closer to my crush (who's my age) now that his ex (my best friend) has left the school to go to university but he told me today that they're together again... I think this deserves a bit of back story so here goes:

I've known her for 6 years and we're very close. She knew him for a month or so before I did (they worked together) and said that he was very similar to me. He joined our school last September and she was right - he was pretty much a male me! However, he had a crush on her and asked her out in November. They went out for 10 days and then she broke up with him because her childhood crush had asked her out. She told me that it hadn't really been working out between the two of them anyway and it wouldn't have lasted for too much longer then. During that time, my crush on him had developed quite a lot. After that, we started getting closer and were both flirting with each other. I'm not a very forward person so I was trying to find the courage to ask him out. This went on for quite a few months but I was always slightly discouraged by my female friend still sort of flirting with him. She broke up with her boyfriend in May and then it was exams season so I didn't see much of either of them but, whenever I did, they were always flirting with each other. However, the last few weeks of term were much better because she wasn't there (that sounds really bad of me to say but I don't think they will ever last as a couple - they're too different - and I guess I was a little annoyed with her for doing it since she knew I liked him...). We then broke up for summer and I saw him several times. I drove him to meet up with other friends because I've passed my test and he hasn't! We would tease each other and generally flirt, walk really close and quite regularly he would put his face near mine when talking to me... I was getting quietly confident that he liked me, especially when he came to work to see me and asked me if I was free to go see something with him! I was planning on giving it a couple of days to settle back into school and then tell him how I felt and hopefully ask him out. But then today he just casually dropped it into conversation that he was going out with her again. I don't think it's really sunk in yet, probably because I don't know the details behind who asked who and how long it's been going on. The part that confuses me is that she hasn't said anything to me about it (and I told her after they broke up in November that I liked him) and I was talking to a guy who likes her who was saying that he couldn't sleep but he had sworn not to talk about why which makes me think she's trying to keep it from me... I haven't spoken to her in a little while though so she could just want to tell me herself and not have me find out from someone else... And also, he hasn't changed how he behaves towards me at all... He still flirts like he used to do and we 'bicker like an old married couple' (as said by a mutual friend..!) so I'm a little confused. I know I can't act on my feelings (I would never do that to such a close friend) but I can't help but wonder why they're going out if he still clearly likes me...

Sorry that it's really long, I just needed to get all that off my chest and try and sort out my brain... I wouldn't mind a few pointers as to what to do but I think I'm just going to do what I did when they last went out and just be a good friend to them and hopefully he'll get the hint if they ever break up...

Update:
He was talking about his summer to a mutual friend at school today and he brought up her. He said that he was 'technically going out with her' and, when asked what he meant by technically, he said that the words 'will you go out with me' had never been uttered by either of them but he thought they were going out anyway. He also said that he didn't want to ask her out (or something to that effect anyway). I know that she has never asked a guy out - she believes in them asking her out - and that she wouldn't say she was going out with someone until those words had been said. Now I'm just a bit confused because he was texting her a bit from school (but not loads) but he was also talking to me in the way he always has (which I consider flirting as do most of the people around us who think we're already going out...). He was sitting a little further away than he used to, although it has been quite hot so that's kind of understandable but he came with me when I was going places even though it was out of his way and texted me from his form room to tell me stuff which could have waited until he saw me but he wanted to tell me sooner...

What do you guys think? I still can't get hold of her to ask her side but part of me has cheered up a bit from yesterday

So there's this guy who last year actually seemed to like me but this year we have no classes together and I have no idea how I should approach him and we weren't that close but I think we both liked each other! What should I do?!

I have the same problem (sorta) this guy is my best guy friend, and we always had classes together. This year? Two: Lunch and history. In lunch he sits with these guys I can't stand, and in history my teacher separated us because we wouldn't shut up. It really sucks but I'm hoping he'll come around and start contacting me other ways. Hopefully.

As for your situation, do you have another year? Maybe wait It out till next year and see if you have classes together. That really helps build a solid friendship, seeing each other daily. I know I'm losing my friends since I don't have any classes with any of them! And on top of that, the man I love is in college now! Miss him so badly I can't stand it!
Sorry to get a little off topic, but as you can see, I have many problems of my own.

Lots of love,
Zelda <3

So I'd looove some advice from anyone?

I'm a girl; for the first year of High school I've hung around with a group of friends that are girls, but before that I've always had male best friends.

Last year me and my best girl friend started hanging out with a group of boys, not for any other dating reason other than I just feel ten times more comfortable with guys. So, long story short, both of us ended up dating one of them... >.> but I broke up with my boyfriend last night. However now I'm unsure if we hung out with the guys 'cause they put up with us because we were dating one of them, or because they like us... My ex and I are still great friends, and my best girl friend is still with her boyfriend, plus I've still hung out with one of the guys and her boyfriend all summer. I'm just wondering how much anyone thinks it will affect it- do you think we'll still be "allowed" to hang around with them?

*Le sigh* first world problems!

Probably I mean this is a bad example because I ended up leaving all of them and they were actually my friends but here we go. I use to be friends with a lot of girls in my GS troop. Then some left and 2 started to stop liking me. They may have been mean but I didn't care I still did girl scout (up to a point) and did activities with them. Sorry if its not helpful but I think they'll be cool with you hanging out with them.

...I just give up. I just need to accept the fact that I'm going to be forever alone. :'(

Eep. :3

I guess you could say I'm in a really good mood. I haven't posted in a while. Most of you probably don't remember me posting about Jeremy, and I'm going to assume the majority of you don't remember the stuff I posted about him way back on the past thread as well. Oh well. Anyways, long story short, the last time he said "I love you" to me I flipped out and sorta kinda maybe shunned him for five months. However, we made up and have been best friends again for quite a while now, over 7 or 8 months.

I don't know why, but for whatever reason, I've been craving for him to confirm that he still loves me. Whenever we'd talk about stuff, he'd just say like, and it'd make me doubtful. However, he said it finally again today. For the first time in over a year. I don't know why, it just made me all giddy. :3

It was the end of seventh hour, and he stole my headband. I had to keep chasing him around to get it, and he had it under his shirt. He finally took it out from under his shirt and proceeded to shove it in his mouth. After a couple seconds he gave it back to me. I was just like, "Ew." and was barely holding onto it. Then he just grabbed me in a big hug and said, "It's not gross. I love you, and you're my favorite." I wasn't too sure how to respond. I was just like, "I'm your favorite?", and he said, "Yeah." I just replied with, "Then I guess it's okay." and put my headband back on. The bell then rang and we left to go to our lockers.

I know, I'm just so smooth. I'm not awkward at all, right? lolno. I feel kinda bad not saying it back. Those are just really big words for me (yes, I know they're not "I'm in love with you), and he knows that. I think he'll just be happy that my reaction was and won't be the same as the last time. A lot of other things have happened, but this just happened today. I'm not really looking for advice, I just wanted to let mah feels out. :3
