Find his Myspace page, if you have one, make another one, dont put your picture on it. Start some messaging with this guy, dont let him know who you are. Be his friend, be supportive, be the person you know you are. Grow some type of bond that way, when you think it has grown strong enough, pull the curtain and reveal who you are. This will let him know you with an open mind. It will at the very least start a good friendship.
Popularity, its such a big concern for kids in middle school, but soon in highschool that begins to change. As you near your sophomore year, you find out that people begin to like you for who you are, they are less judgemental about what you wear.
Be cautious about looking for the popular guys, by the time most are 30 they end up being losers who have nothing to their name other than a high school football win. Their parent's money can only protect them in the adult world for so long. Its those who live on who they are that succeed in life.
If you like this guy just because he is popular, you will probably be let down in your quest to get him. If you honestly like him, be yourself. If he cant accept you the way you are, then he doesnt deserve you.

Hi! Don't push it. Guys love confidence and a great smile. The popular guys are usually arrogant and selfish. Don't look only for the popular guys--there are many unpopular guys that get better with age and are late bloomers, like some girls. Be nice and smile at everyone. Just love who you are and be honest. Money doesn't make you better. If people like you better because of money, they are materialistic and not worthy of your friendship. If you are a person with less money, you are usually more honest, caring, giving, sweet and have more street smarts. Be proud of who you are and never let anyone allow you to feel unworthy. See Ya sweetie!

At risk of sounding cheesy, I think the best thing is to practice faking self confidence. It's the one thing no one in middle school has, and you'll notice, the most popular people seem to have it. Be very careful not to get cocky. Just be nice and sure of yourself. Brands don't really matter that much. Wow, that sounds like a moral from a lifetime movie.

People who like popular brands are superficial.
Why would you want to be popular with superficial people?
Hey, I'm more than twice your age but can tell you this....
I still know a lot of the people I went to middle and highschool with....
The people who turned out well - successful, and having good freinds, were not the ones that dressed in expensive clothes, but rather the people who were genuine - and kind to people regardless of what they were wearing.
The people who are more focused on what they wear usually turned out very miserable.
Good Luck

Well, there definitely are more important things than being "popular". If this guy doesn't notice you now- chances are he won't notice you when you're wearing designer clothes either. Just try getting more involved in clubs & groups. Make yourself known that way. It's not about the money you do or don't have. It's about your attitude & personality. That's what will REALLY draw people to you!

popular brands are for losers! it dosen't matter how much money you have/make or how popular you are! What matters is that you're true to yourself, study alot and be kind to everyone at school, even if you don't know them. That would make you an inspiration to those people, and being an inspiration is way better than being popular

there is one secret and one secret only to getting a lot of people to like you. you may not like the answer because it makes it seem so simple and clear-cut and yet it is so hard. the truth is, when you stop caring altogether, people find you cool. if you say what comes to your mind and don't hold back when you're in front of "popular" kids, they will find you fearless. By speaking your mind in front of people, one of two things will occur. One--- The popular kids will start to love you and enjoy your fresh opinions. Two--- The popular kids will be scared out of their ever-lovin' minds of you. Fear is a good thing to invoke when you're a teenager. Trust me. Brands mean nothing if you don't have the right attitude. Act like you own the place. And, pretty soon, you will.

To be honest, popular people seem intimidating to talk to, but once you actually talk to one it's really just normal. People who wear expensive brands really don't care what YOU wear, that is just what they like to wear. If you want to dress like them then just dress like them, but a less expensive version. Just be outgoing and being funny is always a way to connect with people. Just have a care-free attitude and I am sure you will be fine. But don't ask for advice if you're not going to use it, so get your butt out there and strike up a conversation (just small talk at first). GOOD LUCK : )

Everyone has there niche (or click) in school. There's the jocks, preps, poser-preps, emo kids, normal kids. It helps to find your place. Believe me. When I was in my first year of middle school about four years ago, I tried to be popular. Wear abercrombie. Well you know what? In the end it doesn't help. Just find your niche; everybody can find it.
About the guy, sorry. I can't help.. I don't suspect many middle schoolers have myspaces either... =(

Just be yourself, if you try and be fake and do things to be popular then eventually you'll get caught and then nobody will like you... also if you want to go out with someone who only like girls with money then I reccomend that you choose someone else because that relationship won't go very far at all.
