Need some advice

I have a slight problem.

I've always been really shy but I am getting much better now and I've actually been able to socialize with my classmates a lot more than I used to.

There's one classmate in particular that I especially enjoy talking to. Actually, I think it's safe to say that I really, really like him. The problem is, we only ever talk during the 10 minutes before class starts. We use to talk only once in a while but now we talk almost every time we get a chance, but still only in class.

I always look forward to those few minutes together and I actually find myself trying to find ways to make this time just a few seconds longer if I can. I also have a tendency to look in his direction a lot during class
I really need to find a way to talk to him outside of class. I want to find out where this relationship is going and with only 10 minutes a day, it's hard to figure out anything.
Plus, class ends in about 2 weeks. If I don't manage to have some sort of contact with him outside of him, I might not see him until the Fall

What should I do??
I just don't have the courage to ask him out or ask him for his email or phone number. For me, it's been an achievement to be able not to run away from him.

I'm so confused. I haven't seen him in over 24 hours and I miss him already. Kinda pathetic, isn't it?

Well, the thing I thought of after reading this was, when you're talking to him next time, ask "So, what are you up to this weekend?" It sounds nonchalant. If he's busy, he'll tell you, and if he's not, he'll say "Nothing, why do you ask? Or, "I don't know yet, why, what are you doing?" (Hopefully) Then you can say "Well, I was thinking about [insert thing you'd like to do here]." If you're as shy as you say, it's not really asking him to do the thing, just saying you're doing it, with or without someone else, and if he's interested, he'll say something along the lines of "That sounds totally bodacious, I've never done/seen that." (Hopefully he won't say it like that though!) And then you'll talk more about it, and then maybe you'll get the courage to invite him.
No, it's not pathetic, I stared at this guy for a month of Thursdays before I bought him a drink.....

bodacious?
I can't really see him using that word.

Actually I was thinking of something like that. I'm pretty sure he likes me (just not sure how much) so hopefully if I can let him know that I'm interested in what he does outside of class, and let him know what I'm doing, he might take the bait

Good luck! I know it's hard when you're shy.

Mention something about sports-I don't know a guy who wouldn't talk about sports!!

you could just straight foward ask him for a coffee or if he would like to catch up during the holidays, then you will just swap numbers and it will head off from there.. Menangiare mama gave you some great advice

I recommend the subtle approach: Write your name and phone number on a sticky note, squirt some of your best perfume on it, and stick it inside one of his books when he isn't looking.

Thanks Fwan! I am good at giving it sometimes, just not good at following it or applying it to my own life!

I have the same problem. If it was someone else who needed advice, I would have a good idea about what she should do. But for some reason, when it's my life, I am never sure.
Plus this whole thing has been messing with my brain. I can't think straight myself so I need other people to do it for me.

I'll try hard to make it clear that I'd like to see him outside of class. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Wish me luck.

Good luck!!!

lol!!


I'd swap msn ad's with him or email. that way u can get to know him without having to feel like ur making a fool of urself.

sometimes it easier when u dont have to look the other person in the eye.
