Help with a boy? |
its the wrong category, but the advice in singles and dating is vulger sometimes- and here it usually isnt. Theres this guy at my school who is popular, sweet, and smart. We talk, hes in my english honors class, my advisory, and my art & photography class. he asks me questions and comments on my work. (he talked to me about my sketch of a mouse looking like a cat furbie today) but I dont know how to start conversations without looking stupid- could you give me some non-lame conversation starters? I was thinking about mentioning the fires in greece, and all of those arsonists...but Im not sure hes smart enough to keep up with me on that subject. I dont want to hear crap like "just say hello" because I dont know what I would say AFTER that. And I want to have a short conversation. Im in eighth grade- so im thinking befriend him now- then later on when Im comfortable with him I might ask him out (once im in high school) I think you are right to not go with current events, unless you are in a group of people, because a lot of people don't keep up with that. You sound flattered when he comments on your work, so comment him on his. That is one thing that you guys have in common which would make it easy, and not obvious, that you're trying to start a conversation. Good Luck, Sweetie! why dont you just ask him how his weekend has been? or what music hes into? you dont have to make perfect fascinating conversations, you just need to start it off. Talk about what you have in common, for example, when you're in photography class ask him what he likes to photograph or get him to help you with something. Sometimes just 'Can I ask you a favor....?' can start things. At least he knows who you are, just be yourself, don't stress and go for it! i dont know. i had the same problem. the best i could give ya is "Hey wuts up" and just see whats going on with his life. They usually like talkin about themselves. Well I have had plenty of these experiences! Just whnever he says something to you, like compliments your work, compliment his back and look right into his eyes then ,"playfully", look away quickly. He will probably smile. And if he doesn't....he will just blush. ; D Good luck dear! Exactly what the first person said. Since you're only in 8th grade, it may seem kind of weird if you bring up a really heavy subject that most kids your age don't know anything about. Talk about the weekend, music, movies, sports, books, tv shows, hobbies, etc. Since you're both in photo together, you can talk a lot about that, just bring it up and see where the convo goes. Once you get started, it'll get a lot easier to keep going. Btw, good job on wanting to get to be his friend first, but it can get tricky depending on how close you get. So just be careful. Good luck. :-] I am in 8th grade too - and i know how you feel!! Boys are really lame so if you screw up - they won't notice - you will be beating your self up about it, but DON'T! That will bring down your confidence level and you won't have the guts to talk to him again! Making friends with guys is WAY hard - but just act like yourself - guys like that. If something major is going on in your town - talk about that. Sports - thats a BIGGIE! Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Skateboarding - GYM class if you have to. Guys LOVE to laugh - come up with a witty joke. Use your sense of humor [dig DEEP inside if you have too - check out a joke book if needed!]. But Mostly be YOURSELF! I seriously hope this helped! Good Luck! (: |
