How do I talk to this guy i don't know in the year above? we don't share any classes but we walk home the same way from school. I'm a bit shy so I don't want to just walk up to him and say hi, so is there a more subtle way to get conversation going?

thanks

you could simply walk faster and bump into him drop your bags at same time and say sorry or shout out and say "hey wait up" and ask him how his day was. xx

Hey, in situations like this sometimes you just have to take the plunge. I know your probably thinking I just can't! I would be feeling the same but how are things gonig to move forward if you don't try. Anyways, does he walk on his own? You could be brave catch up to him and say it's silly us walking by ourselves, hi i'm ...... Or if this isn't a great solution you could try 'accidently' bumping into him, then turn around and say oh sorry he will probably smile or say thats ok then you could take it from there - commenting oh your in the year above me arn't you i'm ...... in class ..... Just go for it you only live once right! Message me if you need to :)

Good Luck,

Love Charm x

Lola1 agony auntUsually you have to be in the vicinity and have something to talk about.

Is he involved in any extra caricular activities? Could you simply say in passing, "Great job on ....!"

It is an easy comment to make in passing and doesn't require you to show you are interested, but may open the door for him to talk to you either at the time of the compliment or another time.

Good luck!

Phsyciatrist-to-be agony auntda da-dah! Facebook to the rescue! Find out his name (if you don't already know) and search for him on facebook!

If not, then I suggest you find somthing out about him, and try to draw him into conversation about that. For example, say he's a musician. You could both be walking home one day, and when (if) you draw up alongside one another, just say: "hey, you play (insert instrument) don't you?" If you can get him talking about something he's really interested in, then the conversation could go on for a while. And if you're interested in it too, then hey: nice little bonus for you there!

Of course, now we HAVE facebook, it's by far the easiest way to get to know people without actually having to speak to them: facebook him, leave a few comments, see if you can get a conversation going!

Hope this helps! Don't worry about being shy: beleive me, once you get past the first hurdle, it gets a thousand times easier!

Good luck!
