I am extremely attracted to this boy who is a year older than me. I don't want to date him but I want to build a friendship with him first, you know? Wheneve he's around, my mind turns to mush and I act silly. So I can never talk to him. He doesn't even look my way. We don't have any classes with him but I pass him in the halls all the time! We don't have any mutual friends. My friends suggest adding him on Facebook and talking to him, but that's so unlike me! I know his name but he doesn't know mine. I want to be friends with him by may but I don't want to randomly approach him! What do I do??

 

Hey! you just have to be on the lookout for an opportunity to interact with him, and then go for it when it comes up. If you see him in the halls or ever have a class together, just express yourself around him like you would to any casual friend. Guys are attracted to confidence, so try not to be too self conscious around him. Good luck!
