I REALLY like this guy, we have one class together, and are what you might call 'old friends'. We've been friends since 8th grade, except in 10th we never saw each other. I'm pretty sure he liked me in 8th grade, but I was too stupid to do anything about it. Now, I still like him, and I think he still likes me. The big problem here is that we're both EXTREMELY shy. The most we muster up is, "Are you ready for the big quiz? etc..." It's awkward, because we used to be so open with each other, and I think what is creating the awkwardness is the romantic tension. I always get myself pumped to talk to him after class, but he almost never leaves his best friend's side, and I'm not about to confide to him about this in front of his friend. I just want some tips on how to get closer to him, maybe spend some time studying or just taking a walk. Any help is appreciated, most informative and helpful gets 10 pts. Thanks so much.
P.S. We're both 17 in 11th grade, and share just the one class.

Has being terminally shy ever been of meaningful benefit to you?
No? Then why are you clinging to it so desperately? Crush it beneath your heels, and give it no further thought.
If your school offers a class in public speaking or speech, sign up for it. Do it. No arguments. Stand up and face the world, or at least a selection of classmates. It isn't that hard, and it will help dispense with that useless shyness of yours. (You may even come to like it.)

Try smiling, that always works! Walk up to him and just start talking about anything the weather - whatever, then bring up "old times" like remember that time when we ... Good luck!
