I like this really cute guy at my school but here's the problem, he is one of the most popular guys in school and I am average at popularity. I see him three times a week at swim team but he hardly ever talks with me. Almost all the girls in school like him but for some reason he dosen't have a girlfriend. I am one of the people that likes him for who he is and not for his looks or popularity. Please help me, I don't know what to do.

Boy problems, hu? I so remember this from way back when...let's see, the best method I've found to work is to be yourself! Don't be shy and don't hold back! If you like him, just act real cool and nonchalant about it (even though you're dying inside). Just keep your cool in any given situation. If you happen to walk beside him or share a class with him, just play it safe. Talk to him like you tryin' to be his friend rather than trying to impress him...because it's always hard to be in your own skin when the guy you like is right there. Another words...just be yourself.

Well, if you like him for who he is and not for looks or popularity then trying to make yourself more beautiful isn't your answer. If all the girls in school like him, then you're going to need to try some really unique things to stand out from the crowd. Do you know anyone who knows more about him? What is he good at and what does he like other than the swim team? One idea is to find out from someone who knows him, what subject he's really good in. Then, when you're having a challenge with something in that area, you can say - my friend told me you're really good with _____. So, I thought I'd ask if you'd be willing to help me out with this. Just be natural, be yourself and see if he will meet with you at the library or wherever to help you out. You just need a way to put yourself in front of him. Is there another group or club that he is involved in? Don't be too obvious or follow him around of course. But, signing up for another activity that he is a part of will increase the likelihood that you'll have more opportunities to chat and see what might happen there.

If you like him so much just the simple eye contact with a smile should do the trick. Try to see if he give you this long "oh my god, you are fine" look with a little smirk- if he do you are in. Try to be involved with some things he is involved with. Try to get around to talk to him atleast everyweek then step your game up to every day. I suggest if all the other girls like him to take it slow because that is a whole lot of drama you would put yourself in. Just take it slow. Or you can use the other approuch and have your friend tell him. goodluck

Spark a conversation about something pretty general. But make sure that you are being the real you while your talking. I've learned that personality is really attractive. Maybe after your little chat with him you'll become friends, and then you'll be on a roll.

If I were you I'd make an effort to get to know him as a friend before you try to get him to like you in that way. That way he can get to know you instead of worrying about your popularity level in comparison to his. Maybe have a party at your house and invite him so you can talk

Well, I would say act/be yourself, but that seems so over used. Try talking to him during the times you see him? Make eye contact? Or just wait for a good chance to get to know him. If not, hold up until your soul mate shows up. =]

Talking to him is always a good start. Ask him something about swimming since you're on the team together. If you want him to notice you you'll have to be proactive.

He ain't worth it honey. No, but seriously if he's one of those popular guys than he'll probably treat you like crap, I've seen it happen to girls at my school.

If your shy around him, find something that pisses you off about him so you don't think of him as a "superior", start by saying HI more to him around school and don't be a psycho... The pisses you off about him thing really works, it helps you talk to him easier.
