Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2008 6:36 pm Post subject: So how do you attract someone?
i can't believe i'm posting this but... how do you actually attract someone you really, really like?
i have this huge crush on a classmate of mine (he is not a regular though. he's my classmate only in one subject, which we take two times a week, 4 hours a day). problem is, i can't start a conversation with him since i'm extremely shy. what is worse is that almost all of my friends know about the attraction, and tease me badly about it. um, help? _________________

^^---- My advice is to try to see a way to talk to him. If you are shy to a point of getting him alone, try to be flexible with your conversations (especially if he likes something that you don't quite pay attention to; just to do a little bit of research on his favorite team or favorite author, etc.), but if you are very shy and cannot say much around him, eventually he will talk to you, especially if you two are alone together (try to get caught alone with him).
That's a hard question for me to answer, because usually the guy is attracted to me before I am attracted to him, but when it happens, I usually just dress up a bit more and I smile more often. I don't do too much, and I actually can't see too much "change" in me at all to attract the guy more to me? _________________

Since you are extremely shy I would try to ask something about the class. Like if you had an assignment or "did not understand something" ask him if he could explain it. Or if you (dis)like the class, teacher, another student who gets on everyone's nerves.
FACEBOOK is a gift in situations like this!
Since you are shy just try little things like mallis suggested dressing up nice, doing something different, making an entrance so that he as to look at you...unless you like being on time or have to be on time.
Good luck! _________________ "In this world love has no color, yet how deeply my body is stained by yours." J. Craqqette

aww i think that this is an adorable situation , i think you should mention maybe seeing a movie together with a couple of both of yalls friends, like even it out a bit, something like a fun enviroment, facebook is ok, but that doesnt seem to help out your situation in person, i wish you the best of luck!
Oh, thank you guys for all the advice! But there is this one problem though. Apparently, that guy keeps much to himself (mysterious, which probably allured me), and since he is an irregular student, he is not that much close to anyone in our class as he doesn't get to hang out with my class that often. Last year though, I tried talking to him through asking him whether he was finished with his Graphics plate and how he did it. Another time was when i mustered all the courage i had and lent him my French curve as he didn't have one. Then, that was pretty much it. All that I did after that was stolen glances.
Then, just last month, there was this instance (according to my friend, as she saw it) that she caught him staring at me. Probably because there was something in my hair, perhaps? I don't know. _________________
