    Yeah, the shy one is a lone wolf. The odd thing is, we both are. No wonder... this is gonna be tricky.. very rarely is she alone though.. but i got to observe.. but not in the creepy way. She is very independent when it comes walking alone- maybe that's why we stare at each other so much. We have something in common. And we haven't even spoken a word to each other yet! Maybe if i just smile to her on monday maybe it will give her a hint.

    What do you mean by that? Communication is hard when you have 2 of the shyest people in a single classroom. haha.

    'Tain't fatal to strike up a casual conversation. Unless, of course, there is a restraining order involved, and a handgun. :)

    And even then, worth a shot.

    God, I've realised that I have no 'Love-interests' in my school. No one who I could even possibly even consider being in a relationship with. And I don't particulary want to spend all my time in secondary school looking for someone...

    ^Yeah, talk about movies. Music. Your hobbies. The weather? Or how about special classes you're maybe taking in school or something. Like if you're in music class or on the basketball team...etc. Maybe ask her if she has any brothers or sisters and you could maybe tell her if you have any yourself.

    Another thing i forgot to mention, theres this other guy that she laughs at alot, so i don't know if she like him. But then yet all these signs are coming at me at once, so i do think she likes me but i can't figure out if it's entirely true or not. This puzzle is too hard to bring all the pieces together. I know im over-analyzing, but she really is a mystery.

    Hmmm....That is a mystery. But can you discern what she's laughing about? Like him being stupid or him being a comedic guy?

    We were doing some animal project and he showed his to the teacher's and the shy one started laughing. I don't think he tried to be funny. im not sure about this though. He could of been, but by the way he does things he doesn't try.

    Who knows.... She keeps staring at me, so i don't know. She doesn't stare at him at all though. It's really confusing.

    Don't let the fact that she MIGHT like another guy stop you from giving it a shot. Even if she did like him, 9 times out of 10 if he doesn't do anything about it then neither will she. However if you step up, that automatically increases your chances simply because you actually tried. I mean I know it's hard to get over your shyness but there isn't any way to do it besides just saying screw it, and going for it. And after the first time the rest will be much easier.

    ^I agree with Thought. Just try, Xeno. I know how difficult it can be. I've been a shy person myself. But it will get easier, like Thought has said.

    How am i gonna find time to talk to her when she sits all the way to the back and i sit at the very front? I only have 4 min in between classes, and that's not enough time to overcome my shyness. What should i do? I know i already asked this but i feel so lost- it seems impossible to overcome everything so quickly. What seems so simple to others seem like walking on the moon for me. And i don't want to look stupid in front of other people cause i get very nervous when people watch me. And i can't randomly walk up to her or say hi- she's just too shy. Im frustrated with myself. How am i going to do this?

    What about lunch or break or something like that? Look for something you can use to spark up a conversation, like maybe something she's wearing or something she's doing...comment on it, try and be funny and stay cool...I'm not saying it's an easy thing to do, but it's the things you have to put effort into that end up being worth it :)

    edit: and trust me what people think is the last thing you should care about...truth is you might feel like they're watching your every move but they're probably aren't.

    She sits next to all her friends...the ones i that i think watch me closely along with her.. And im not really that funny, so i guess i could just go up to her and make small talk without trying to be funny? Maybe it will just go with the flow? I feel like if i don't even one of these traits i fail instantly...i have confidence, it's just girls are so... complicated...

    Haha no if it's not natural for you to be funny don't try and force it...I'm sorry I just said that because that's the way I am, but just be yourself...there's no set list of characteristics you need to have. And yes they're complicated, that won't ever change haha. I mean there has to be an opportunity when she's alone, even for a couple minutes. You just have to pull yourself together and go for it when the opportunity presents itself. And don't try and convince yourself when that moment comes if you're having second thoughts that another opportunity will come...that's how you end up losing it all together.
