Some advice on a Crush

I know this might sound stupid because im young and a teenager but i've liked a girl for 2 years whom i met via a class a couple of years ago. Im going to be a Junior btw. We know who each other are due to us being on the school's Swim teams(one for boys/one for girls) i know most people say that "I should just build up confidence" but like easier said than done I can't Atm. There are kinda 2 problems. One I feel like the trouble is that I see her above my "league", i know its very childish but i see her as being more popular and i see myself as not as popular. Which doesn't mean she is a horrible person because we had conversation and she didn't seem to bothered by me being there but more me being self-conscious probably. The other problem is that from my friend who is dating her best friend told me that she never has and doesn't want a boyfriend I have no idea why. I would appreciate any advice on. Thank you for your time

 

To be honest, it is as simple as just building up the nerve. I'd say since you've been interested this long, do your best to hang out with her. Doesn't matter if it's with a group or not, you'll still want to simply be around her, so she gets used to you. After a bit of time, and I know you've heard this before, just ask her to do something with you. What does she like, bowling, skating, anything? Offer to do that with her. Offer her to join you to do something you like. You just have to ask

 

He's right. You do need to build up to it, but from the way it sounds... You guys aren't really on a friend level? More of an acquaintance level? You need to break down those barriers first, but don't get too comfortable as a friend before you make your move. That is where new issues form.

 

This!! Do NOT get too comfortable as friend, and that, is easier said than done.

When you are with her, try to make her laugh, but do not be too nice to her, or she will see you as a friend. Try to talk to other girls who you feel comfortable talking to when you are around her. Try to make them laugh too, but focus on the main girl. Let us know how it went

 

Exactly what everyone else said.

Don't be too nervous. Before we started talking, my boyfriend thought the best way to get my attention would be to take a picture of me and then walk up to me and literally tell me "I just took a picture of you"
...
and it worked. Dating for 10 months now.

If that somehow worked, I'm sure you'll do fine!

 

That's how Dunworry hit on me.

 

Get out of that friendzone, be quirky, be outgoing, make her head over heels.

 

Women love a man with confidence. Yes, it's very difficult to build up your confidence after it has been crushed (assuming your confidence has been crushed by the way this was written), but you can easily fake it. Just make sure not to come across as overly confident or else she will withdraw.

Spend time with her. Get to know her, and eventually she will bring up the topic of whether or not she wants a boyfriend.

 

Be a man and do the right ting, kiss her

 

do what you gotta do, kiss that hoe.

 

Let me share some inspiration with you.

When I was 13 I met a girl, waaaay out of my league. I was a 'goth' kid, I've been 6 feet tall since I was 15, so I was probably around 5 foot 7 at the time and over 250 pounds (and not 250 pounds of muscle either haha) she probably weighed around 100 pounds, was very popular, etc etc.

We started talking as friends, just as it seems you have with this girl. But sadly it never evolved from that... For 3 years I confessed my undying love for her constantly, but nothing came of it sadly. But that's okay. I enjoyed our time as friends.

10 years later now, she's a single mother of a 3 year old daughter, I have a 5 year old daughter I'm unable to see, and just since last night, me and this woman have plans to go out to dinner. A lot has happened in the past years that we haven't been so close, but maybe we'll be close again now, maybe more than just "close". Won't know until time tells me haha.

So let her know how you feel, but don't get down if she doesn't feel the same about you. Time changes everything. Or, it may change nothing. That is the way of life.
