So there is this girl that I like. We've gone to the same school three out of our four years of high school. I've only really spoken to her a handful of times, and it's usually just idle chit-chat. I don't know why, but I'm crazy about her. She's fairly quiet(I don't really know now), amazingly smart and beautiful. She isn't like any other girl at our school. She likes The Beatles from what I've gathered. That's uncommon at our school, and I think it's one of the few things we have in common. I'm not that shy when I'm around people I know or just don't care too much about, but when she's around I'm quiet and have no idea what to say. All thoughts escape me. I see her in passing about twice a week and it seems that we always lock eyes. She'll smile at me for a moment and I will do a small smile and nod my head. I feel so awkward after wards. My main problem is that I'm not that desirable. I have bad teeth from a pre-existing condition, I'm scrawny(5'10" 120lbs), and don't do that much during the day. I don't know too many people and I usually just keep to the friends I have. From what I can tell we live very different lives. She participates in school activities and I don't do much of anything, there is a huge gap there.

 

The other night I had just gotten off work and I went to bed. I hadn't really thought of her the past few days but all of a sudden I had a dream about her. We were just sitting and talking, I can't remember the topic. We seemed to be having a good time and I think we just hit it off and the dream ended. This has to be one of the best dreams I've had recently. I want to be able to do that.

 

So, to the point. I want to be able to talk to her, and not just nod in her direction every once and awhile. Developing a relationship is the ultimate goal, but I don't see that happening if I keep this up.

 

Also, I saw her multiple times today but didn't have anything to say. I even saw her at her locker, which would have made it much less weird if I had stopped to talk. I just didn't know what to say. She smiled at my as always, but I can't tell if she's smiling just to be nice, or if she likes me.

If you prepare some stuff to talk to her about, then you wont be so shy to talk to her. But dont keep eyeing her, it will make you look creepy.

How about, "Hey, _____ would you like to grab a <burger, pizza, drink (NA, obviously)> after school?"

Well, I asked her how things were going VIA Facebook because I didn't see her today, and no response quite yet. I hope I didn't come off as creepy the other day, I wasn't staring at her or anything, I just looked over at her when she was near, whilst thinking of something to say. Looking back it may have seemed a little creepy, but I hope not. I've been waiting for a response and since then have realized that my self esteem is fairly low. Now I'm constantly worrying that maybe she thinks I'm weird and that's why she hasn't responded.
