How does one subtly show a girl you like her.

Dont try to do anything. Talk to her, treat her like a person, say funny things and compliment her. Maybe even some harmless teasing. She will pick up on it if you are consistent.

Im a bit bold, if I like someone I just tell them so there is no confusion. But only after I have b making them laugh at silly things. Sneak it in and go back to silly banter. If they aren't interested its okay. You don't need everyone to love you, so it's best to find someone who wants to return rather than to spare your feelings or cheat on you.

Volume interaction with people is how you find the right person, so dont worry if she rejects you.

Packy asked me to go to a movie with him. It was a pore experience - as we couldn't talk, both afraid. The bus ride took forever for both of us.

The movie was Taza, son of Chocise, or similar. I think I was twelve.


What is an underclassman?

Underclassman is in a lower grade in school.

Ie. Senior > freshman

and even now I misspelled poor.

Re underclassman, that wasn't a usual word for us to call anyone.

Like @Krumple said, have conversations. And talk to a lot of people. Volume really is the best way to go about this. Consider it practice if nothing else. That is, be kind and attentive to pretty much everyone. Be a friendly person. That's going to stand you in good stead no matter what. Also, because if the only time you really go outside your comfort zone is to talk to this particular girl, you will find yourself paralyzed with fear and worry. You won't just have the jitters about talking to someone you like, you will also be shy and afraid because you have little to no practice doing this with anyone.

So! Say hi to people - male or female, young or old. Say good morning to the neighbor walking his dog and chat for a sentence or two with the grocery store checkout clerk about the weather. Teach yourself to be sociable.

When you have spent some time together (and don't ask me how long, but a month is certainly too long), ask her for a coffee or a soda. It's something small and noncommittal, and it's a bit ambiguous.

Let's say she says yes (because if she says no then you will definitely know where you stand), and you go. You have a lovely time. And because you are used to talking to people by this time, you will have some reserves in terms of things to talk about. Be pleasant. This is not the time for romance or to reveal deep feelings or anything of the sort.

When coffee or soda (keep this small and light - not the movies, which are too long; not dinner, because that's too much of a commitment; and not drinks even if you are both of age, because alcohol does odd things to people) is done, say something like, "I had a really good time. Let's do this again, but make it a real date, okay? Say, Saturday night?"

Then she can either say yes, or she can claim she didn't know it was a date and she will (if she's a nice person) do her best to let you down easy.

I am suggesting this kind of ambiguous meeting because it's easier to take if she turns you down. It also gives her an out in case she doesn't feel the same way about you that you feel about her. Everybody is protected here.

Also, you pay for the coffee or soda, because you were the one making the invitation, okay?

Thanks....About practicing young out of my comfort zone, well that really only consist of talking to her and even then I still feel fine throwing in small jokes in the group conversations we have, I am fine with talking to strangers and I am not really the kind of guy that cares too much about his social image so do you know of a way to practice going out of the comfort zone?

Then learn new things in order to go outside of your comfort zone. People take up acting or perform at comedy clubs for reasons like this.

Do you have any suggestions because I have been in acting/performing groups since 3rd grade XD

I might be taking this too far and should just ask, but whenever I get close to her I just....well can't do anything except make a bad joke here and there. I can't really explain it because I have never really had the same feeling.... I guess you can call it stage fright but I have really haven't had too much experience with that.

Owen,

Its really common. You are not alone with this feeling. You just have to keep reminding yourself that not everyone will find you as the right person for them.

The point is to break you from worrying about acting a certain way. Just relax into it and find this nervous tention as enjoyable. I know that might sound vague and strange.

The aspect I'm trying to point out is to get this idea of trying to win her over. Just get rid of this thinking and try not to care if she rejects you.

The reason for this is to bring you back into comfort so you can be relaxed and playful. She will sense your ease and comfort. Then your brain will be open to be entertaining without expectations.

I just pretend as if they are a friend I've known for a long time. I know that might sound strange but it gets you out of your head. Shes not your only chance at love. Many people try to force the relationship even when it's not right for them because they don't want to be alone.

Push your mind into thinking this is nothing new. Just two people hanging out enjoying each other's company. If you feel a moment take it to advance the relationship. Chances are if you are sensing her wanting a kiss she has already thought it five minutes before you sensed it.
