Hey!! So, i am a freshman, and i like a guy from my marching band who is a junior. the thing is, he plays snare, so we dont see each other very much. i dont want to ruin it with him by acting goony just so he looks at me, because that would make me seem immature. how can i get him to notice me without talking obnoxiously and laughing like an idiot? By the way, im too afraid to talk to him. Should i just smile at him? I'm just really nervous around him, and like i said i dont want to look immature...what can i do?

Odds agony auntYou can smile from across the room, or hold his eye contact for several seconds, or look at him and play with your hair, but be aware that while these sorts of hints will be blindingly obvious to guys as you get older... in high school, he may not know how to react, or even missed them entirely.

In other words, be prepared for the little hints to take a while to have an effect.

As for being afraid to go talk to him - well, talking would be the most effective way to get his attention. Guys love women that talk to them. There's really not much to be afraid of there, so long as you don't blurt out obscenities or insult him - I'm willing to bet you're not planning on doing either one.

So, either be patient, or man up (so to speak) and just say "hi." A certain degree of shyness is very endearing, so you don't have to worry about it if you just focus on getting comfortable with him.

aunt honesty agony auntthis is not you being immature sweetie, we all went through that at school, when you like someone you clam up your face goes red you dont no what to say and then you laugh nervously. Dont worry we all have been there. If you really like this guy then yes give him a wee smile when you see him say hi how are you, just take it in small steps, just small talk like asking how is day is and so on so forth, build up your confidence. Once you have a small conversation with him you will soon learn that its not so hard to talk to him and you will get braver. Good Luck.
