NEVER talked to him at all. Plenty of times I could have done something, but I am shy and nervous and every time I see him. I can't even try to look at him in the eyes. There are many times where I would catch his eye looking at me possibly. I just need to know what I should do to try and meet him and talk to him. PS He is in band, and love music. I always see him with a guitar and just strumming away. :)
A. Hey :)
This is such a common issue, but I hope some tips can help you along the way..
To begin with, start off with simply a smile and 'Hi' whenever you see him. This way it breaks the initial tension between you and can raise your confidence, then as time goes on, maybe progress the conversation slightly; including the usual conversation starters: 'How are you?' etc. I know that even simple small talk can seem really nerve-racking but once you get over this initial stage, I promise it will be a lot easier to start talking. You mentioned he's in a band and loves music, so that is a perfect way to get to know each other more. Maybe you could ask about his band, if they have any gigs coming up etc? However, ensure you sound interested in the topic so he'll want to talk to you more! If you're really feeling shy and terribly nervous, you could add him on facebook (if you both have it) and start a small conversation on chat, which may be better if you don't see him as often, but then do progress to speaking face-to-face.
Simple small talk can progress into full conversations and then build your friendship up that way before progressing into a relationship. But please remember to be yourself during this whole process, don't try to be a massive fan of rap music just because he is, otherwise it will get increasingly confusing. So be yourself because you have nothing to lose!
Hope this Helps & Good Luck
