How To Say Hi

[Trapped]

I was wondeirng if anyone had any tips on meeting new people..at school...like so you can get to know more folks. (I go to a very large school, and all I know are the ppl whom with I grew up. Specifically, though, guys...or one in partiular..maybe...all I know about him is what I see (like, he's lettered in soccer, and he likes Yellowcard...I think I have the right name off the lettermen (jacket), though that could be a nickname...I know his first name is right though. Oh, and I'm pretty sure he's single...



We happened to meet on a field trip ( he was in my group)....well, not really meet but that's where I first saw him, and now I see him everyday. I want to say something. I should have on the trip, but I didn't. I don't know what to say. I jus wanna get to know him, and we'll see what happens from there. . Any tips?



I'm startin to be myself now, but I guess I'm stil kinda shy

Just start a conversation....and i know, easier said than done. But just forget about your fears and go up and say- Hey. I've seen you around alot.- well....something better than that. If i were you, id just go up to him and say hey. dont be afraid...hes only human. you could make yourself an awesome friend...or even more. If you dont i swear you will regret it. You could be missing out on an awesome relationship. Hope i helped.

<3 always,

Thanx. But usually we're goin different directions in the hallway. And we don't have any classes, and I'm not sure about lunch So is there anything...any fast talk...or sumthin I could say?

I'm not being ungrateful, I will try the first thig too.

Hmm I got two things ya could do...First, you could try changing how you go to classes what halls ya take whatever.. to try to get going the same direction hes going. If that doesnt work, after school is always real good. If ya can catch him before he gets his ride or goes to practice whatever he does after school. Thats a great time to talk to people. Hmm Other than that, I dunno.

Thnx for the suggestions....but I can't afford to be alte to my next class, and I can only stay after school if it's really important cuz I don't have a for sure ride home. sry

k. (thanx for the replies guys)



I guess what I failed to mention was that...one reason I'm having such a hard time with it b/c I'm scared....Like really scared of what he might say if he DOESN"T have a positve reaction....

Any tips on overcoming that fear, also any small-talk convos?

I know what kinda situation your in, what i done was just started smiling and nodding at them as i walked passed, and saw if i got a smile back. At least that way i knew how they would react if i spoke to them. Then after a week or so i'd say hi as we'd walk past eachother. And then one day there was a perfect oppertunity to start a converstaion. Now we are good friends nothing more came of it, but that's because i didn't really want it to, but now we talk pretty much every day!

I hope this helped

Yes it did. Thank you very much. Even if nothing does become of it, at least I made a new friend. ::):

Thank everyone.
