Question Hey,
There's this girl I really like. I've been trying to talk to her and ask her to hang out sometime, but I'm kind of nervous and afraid to. So, what should I say? (I really only see her after school).
Answer Hello Kyle. A nervous-shyness problem you're facing here it seems? I know the feeling. Shyness is a common problem many people have; expecially with girls, myself included to an extent. Once you do it though; most of the time, you'll be glad you did because of the results. I'll try my best to help however. Lets see...
I'd go into details and ask questions; but I sadly doubt I'll be recieving more questions from you within the time that I'm on tonight because after I finish these questions I have now, I'm putting my status to "On Vacation", for at least 7 days because tomorrow I have one of my good friends coming over. I'll see what all I can do with this problem though..
First of all: You're in Middle, or Jr. High School I'm guessing.. Within the age of 14-16 probably. This girl you like; is she around your age? Lets hope so, because that can make it easier. You said you only really see her after school.. Do you know if you both walk home? If not; and you both ride the same/seperate bus, you can walk beside her the next time you see her, just to pass her up and say "hi" when you're beside her, and walk on..
What you can/should do; is go up to her one day and tap her on the shoulder! Just tap her; and when she turns toward you, say something like "I've seen you before a few times, and I was just wanting to know if you'd like to hang out sometime afterschool".. Suggest to her that you can go to the park, or walk around town..
This is the most simple & easiest thing to do. If she accepts your offer to do this; ask her about herself. Ask what she likes to do, if she has any pets, likes school, bros/sis's, when her Birthday is, ect.. Simple things like that..
If all else fails and you're too shy/nervous, write her a note saying that you'd like to get to know her more. That will possibly get some attention..
Well; I hope this helps, and please feel free to Ask Follow-Up Questions as often as you like; and question me about anything in the future.. I look forward to hearing from you in the future!
