How do you talk to someone you like? On the internet? How do you talk to them and not feel like you're annoying them, making them upset, creeped out, and/or overwhelmed?

No need to apologize. :) Your question most certainly isn't a waste of our time!

so there's this boy and we have this weird staring thing and it's been happening for a while, but I don't know how to read him to see if it's uncomfortable for him. I would stop but it seems to be coming from both of us, and I don't know what to do && I'm really nervous to talk to him. he's really freaking cute and id like to meet him/become friends with him but we don't have any classes together and I'm nervous af to go near him. advice? sorry if this is a waste of your time :) Hard to believe right? Boys have just as hard of a time talking to girls. Go up to him (retain eye cintact for greater effect) and simply introduce yourself. Start off small talk like what classes does he have, if you have the same teacher, and work your way up to interests.

If he has the same interest with you, hell respond accordingly. :)

THIS IS GONNA BE LONG BTW. well, it easy, its like talking to a girl expect your talking to a different species. haha, :) so, how to talk to boys: guys like to talk about themselves. all people do. One of the easiest ways to get to know a boy is to ask him questions. You could ask, "What did you think of that test this morning?" or ask about some sport he's interested in. Don't ask questions that could be answered by yes or no, 'cause then the conversation is over. Music, TV shows, and movies are also good topics. Laughter is contagious. A wise man once said, "Laughter is the best medicine," and he was right. When you're happy and laughing, it's contagious, so don't be afraid of showing off your sense of humor. If making people laugh is not one of your strengths, search the Internet for jokes or fun anecdotes that you can bring up in conversation. Don't be a chatty Cathy. No one likes a chatterbox. When we're nervous, we all tend to ramble on, but overpowering a conversation and forgetting to ask questions shows a person you're not interested in hearing about them. Look for clues. If he's wearing a baseball cap, ask him how his team is doing. If he plays a particular video game, ask about his highest score. These types of questions will definitely instigate a conversation. Don't be so focused on impressing him that you're tempted tole. While we all tend to embellish the truth a bit, you are much better off being open and honest. Lying about who you are will only come back to haunt you later on. Share the parts of your life that are most rewarding: your friends, your family, and your personal interests. Don't be afraid to talk about what you do best. It's not showing off. It's sharing. Try flirting. You don't have to read a book to know how. It's easy after you've tried it a few times. Flirting is a great way to show someone you're interested in getting to know them better. It's harmless and fun. Make eye contact. Offer him a smile. You'll be surprised how you'll naturally figure it out! Get up your courage and move out of your comfort zone. What's the worst that can happen? There's not a person alive who hasn't experienced rejection...and we haven't heard anyone die from it yet! Get involved in activities you enjoy and conversation will flow. Just make sure the boy you approach is worthy of someone as special as you. Remember our "how to talk to boys tips" next time he comes around. and you will be wondering why it was so hard before.
