Here's the problem. I'm totally befuddled by this girl called anna.
I haven't known her for too long, but i know how i feel (or at least think i do <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">).
Anyways, we have only one short conversation (direct conversation that is, i've talked to her via a group chat kinda thing a lot). Sometimes we both catch each others glances and we stare at each other in a nice kinda way (is that a good sign?).
Well the thing is i really like her, but while away for a week with the school, she had a 'relationship' (for want of a better word) with a bloke (bad sign, or just me not making myself obvious enough?).
The main problem i have is trying to talk to her. I always feel i need a reason to go up and speak to someone, i can't just say, "Hi, how are you?" (i think has something to do with my total inability to get a convo started). I need to be able to speak to her, let her get to know me more, but at the same time subtley letting her know i like her, without frightening her away.
So far i think i have been 'too' subtle and would appreciate any tips.
(BTW, you may have noticed the extensive use of brackets. Many people waffle and write random points, but they are normally subtle ways of asking for answers too questions. Here i have made the questions obvious by putting them in brackets)

Be yourself, baby!

I'd really appreciate any answers to my questions.
Next time ur in a group chat, pickj up on sommat she says and start talking to her about it. Ask about her (noone likes anything more than talkin about themselves!), what she likes, and youll find out if you have owt in common.
Good luck mate, just be yourself!
It matters not who won or lost, but how you place the blame.
i know how u feel i know agirl who's eye i sometimes catch i have fancied her for about 2 months i guess i lack the confidence to talk with her (1.idont know her that well
2.i to feel i need a reason to talk to a person) the moralhere is something i guess i havent worked it out yet if u find it let me know on my posting titled theres this girl.
i will do the same.
i know how u feel i sometimes make eye contact with a girl at school i guess i lack the confidence 2 talk 2 her ( i to feel ineed a reason 2 talk i also am petrified of rejection)
anyway now ive put u all 3 sleep the moral of the story is ...well i havent exactly worked it out yet but if anyone does please let me know ive fancied her for 2 months and its driving me crazy im nuts about her.
so plase help and hinny u have my simpathy.
- Have confidence in yourself!
- Show interest
A conversation can be incredibly easy to uphold if you just expand on their interests or activities. This also helps you learn more about the person, and since conversation is a 2-way thing, they will get to know you better too.
