Girls decide if they like a guy well before they ask them anything, and there is little that can change that without dating.

If you like a girl, sitting around and wondering if she likes you to will change nothing, and eventually you'll miss any chance you had.

Keep it simple. "Hey, wanna go out sometime?"

Ask now, or get over it. You can't be afraid of rejection because it's going to happen sometimes.

Yep.

That sounds horrible.

They started talking about how I was thinking about asking some girl out (her best friend), but decided not to. This should get her interest since they are talking about her best friend and make her interested in me because I decided not to ask her out.

I don't think this is an effective strategy. Getting your name out is fine, but if the whole thing about asking out her best friend is a lie, it's probably going to backfire on you. She'll tell her friend that you were going to ask her out, and if you ever did go out with this girl, she could hold the fact that you once liked her best friend against you. Not a good thing overall.

So what should you do? Find out what clubs this girl is in and join one that you're interested in. Or walk up to her and start talking. Or wait for a school dance to come up and ask her out. Or just give her a call.

But whatever you do, don't use her popularity to get you other girls, and don't have your friends share any feelings, real or not, that you've had for her best friend.

What LadyBuggy said.

Also if do wait too long someone else is going to realize what a hot chick she is and get her then what are you going to do.

I made that mistake and it was bad but i learnt if you want something go out and get it, provided it is in reasonable terms;).

Come on, i'm sure this gal only wants lvl 40 warlocks. Srew mages...

But to the OP, just talk do the damn gal. Besides after High School, it really won't matter. You'll meet plenty of women during college, etc.

Hi, I am 16 and a junior in high school. I was new in my freshman year, so I kept kind of quiet and was shy. Flash forward 2 years; I am more outgoing, have a lot of friends, am an amazing basketball player, etc. The problem is, I think I made some bad first impressions.

Anyway, there is this really hot girl in my grade that I never really met before. I'd rate her a 9 maybe 9.5, but I never had any classes with her. I talked to a few of her friends and we have the exact same tastes in music (Angels and Airwaves), Tv, movies, etc. She has a myspace, but I don't want to post it here.

Even though she mught be a little out of my league (extremely popular), I really like her and want to take a shot at it. I'll have a fresh slate to work on and I figure I could always use her to get other girls if necessary.

I don't know how to approach it though. I can't just walk up to her and start talking. I spoke to her maybe once in 3 years (wish I had some classes with her). She did the morning show during advisory for awhile though.

I have a few friends in her Math class that sit at her table. They know I like her, and they said they would put in a good word for me, lol. I figure it couldn't hurt as an introduction. They started talking about how I was thinking about asking some girl out (her best friend), but decided not to. This should get her interest since they are talking about her best friend and make her interested in me because I decided not to ask her out. Hopefully, a discussion will start and they will mention how I am trying out for varsity next year and some other good stuff.

Yeah, I know it sounds kind of stupid. What do you think? After this, I'll probably try to approach her at lunch and start talking about music or something. Maybe I'll tell her that I'll burn a cd for her or something.

I am not really looking to "score" right away with her. I just want to establish a nice relationship first. Like I said before, even if it doesn't work, other girls will most likely be interested in me since she is so popular. My parents are very overprotective anyway which is a whole other issue.

We have PSSA testing tommorrow, so maybe I'll try to get on the same bus as her and start talking during the 30 minute ride. She is always with her friends and I am pretty well aquainted with them.

Well, what do you guys think? Any tips from the pros here? I'll give reps of course.


What are you retarded? You figure out a way to start talking to her, then work on it. Arrange to hangout with her friends, chances are she'll come along too. Keep doing that until you form a good basis with her and then you're in.

If you want my honest opinion I think you're a fool for going after someone based on appearance alone. Your concept of relationships is still stuck in middle-school. Your post also sounds a little "Saved By The Bell"-esque. She's 'popular'? What are you Slater? I don't know about anyone else but in my highschool people all just kind of flowed together, no one stood out more than the others. This is in a building of 1,800 though. So YMMV.

You could always ask her out? You know say, do you want to [insert thing here] [insert place here]. Worst she can say is you're an idiot.

You sir are a n00b with an agenda and a clear vision of how ATOT works. I predict many great future "Help, she thinks I'm a stalker", or "Read my blog!" posts from you!

Lol, some of these posts made me laugh. Anyway update, we were waiting in the cafeteria this morning before we were bussed to take the PSSA at some college. I was with my friends, but I saw her at a table with 2 of her friends. There were like 4 empty seats, so I went over there. I started up some conversation with her. I told her that some senior told me she has a nice taste in music and that she seemed pretty cool (which is true). We started talking a little bit and then we got dismissed. On the way back, she came on my bus. I was about to go back to her and talk, but some other girl (7 at best) sat next to me I was getting up. She looked at me and kind of smiled.

i wouldn't even bother. popular = bitchy, shallow, and high maintenance most of the time. not even worth the hassle i would say.
