Just be yourself and if you like her be her friend Talk to her. I know you know it doesn't matter about weather she is popular or not.. cause what matters and should matter is that she is popular in your heart and that you like her. Sometimes when someone cares for someone else it just makes the cared person shine so much brighter because they know you care for them and it makes them feel good and happy inside, and  they begin to feel better about themselves too. It is a beautiful thing to find that kind of caring in your own heart.. and you never know she may like you too and your friendship may bring out the best in both of you..

I am not sure I am one to give advice on this, given I have never been very strong on the romantic side, but I would suggest that you don't just 'talk to her', but talk to her about something - by concentrating on something you think you might have a common interest and common cause to discuss, you will get involved in the conversation for its own sake, and forget about the nervousness about the person you are talking to.

Do you need any advice on a subject she excels on maybe you could ask her to consider helping you get the hang of a subject you struggle.. That may give you an opportunity to speak with her on a one on one basis about whatever you two like to talk about.. like George says... Do you live close.. ask her if you could walk her home after school or something.

I am maybe grasping at straws here, but is there any way you might be able to arrange to 'happen' to bump into her somewhere outside of school, when maybe she would not be with so many friends?

I suppose she doesn't go around on her own very much, but who knows, you may think of an opportunity.

Do you happen to have any friends who live near her - maybe you could arrange to see you friend, and either just pass by her house in the off chance, or mention to her that you will be in the area, and would it be ok with her if you just dropped in to say hello?

I am hearing you put up barriers between you and her.. when really it seems you have opportunities but are very shy! Are you shy.. or worried she won't like you?

Do you know what kind of books she likes?  Could you possibly recommend something to her that might be of her type of book - and maybe get to discuss it afterwards?  Maybe lend her a book (even if you have to buy it to do so) - and you could always leave a little note in it for her (nothing too blatant, just something friendly and personal).

You need to forget about your track record and just start over. Just try not to repeat old mistakes try to learn from the old ones but not dwell on them .. You have grown and learned...

Put it this way, if you have not made mistakes, you have not learnt.

no i do not. as far as i know she lives the farthest from the school

yes and yes

 from what i know she is real big on fantasy and manga... which is good. that i can work with she is especially fond of the lord of the rings. which again is something i can work with

That is a good start now you have to not be so shy....be friendly and just try not to be over personal at first cause that sometimes makes one nervous and tend to be afraid to speak out. Talk about things you are comfortable with.. and if you click the rest will fall into place and you will be more comfortable.. Nothing is instantaneous and you have to take it easy and listen to her and as well she should also.. don't worry!

Have you all noticed how well behaved I've been in this thread?  Not once have I mentioned how perfect my son is or how she would be incredibly lucky to even have a conversation with him. 




he is perfect, but don't tell him I said so

The generic answer is: Be yourself.

Ben's answer is: Forget it! Girls are nothing but trouble!
