Just act natural. Strike up a few conversations with him. Get to know his likes and dislikes, his friends, whatever. If you find out he likes the cinema, then invite him. If he is into concerts, then try and get tickets or something. Just start to spend a bit of time around him, and then things will start to happen ;)

No. Age differences usually only cause problems between the teen and early adult years, but that only concerns 3 or more years apart. 2 if it’s an issue of the age of consent. Other than that, go for it, but it would be wise to get to know him first. Not everyone is who they appear to be.

Be yourself, you can try and act like the girl he wants all you want but if you are not comfortable as yourself around him it will never work out.

an interesting way to start a conversation, say : What’s up Freaks!

Or you could just walk up and say Yo, that’s good for a start. Be nice and from a guy’s standpoint, be Confident. We dig confedence.

Last girl i was with was 5 years younger then me. (yes, she was jailbait) And the one who holds my heart is three years older. So age is no big deal to a lot of us guys. Anyways, if you noticed most guys go for younger girls. But for the most part age is no big deal.

Tell him you’ll put out and you’ll have his attention. The end.

Where “put out” is a euphemism for “I will gently place the cat outside to go do stuff during the night,” and if he misunderstood, that is his fault.

Tell him you want to sleep with him, but only if you’re married. Then get down on one knee and whip out a wedding ring and ask if he’ll marry you. That’ll get his attention.

If you like the guy just ask him out, don’t wait around hoping that he’ll notice you.

Men are simple minded beings. If you just talk to them, they’ll talk back, it’s no big deal. It’s the best way to get them to notice you.

Of course we women are more complex and we know that if a man just comes up to us and asks us about our life and interests then we’ll know something is up. lol

Answer to GoldenArbiter01 and Jerk:1. I don’t think I’m ready for anything like that (much less old enough) plus my parents would kill me if i did anything yet! 2.I don’t have a cat or any animals. 3. I think I should a least have a normal conversation before i start saying things like that. 4. Are u really trying to be a bad influence on me? 5. How old do u think i am ??????? 6. Forget number 5. 7. I’m NOT going to be lesbian. ( no offense)

You suck at being a teenager and you’re not supposed to lez-out until college. See also: recreational drugs.

PEER PRESSURE

Here’s a genuine, honest answer: “Hi, my name is [your name here]. I’ve been trying to build up the guts to talk to you for awhile now, would you sit at my table during lunch / like to hang out some time? I’d like to find out more about you.” That is the direct approach. It’s candid, simple and true without being too aggressive or passive. Conversely, since you’re a girl and still in high school, you can do this with a note and, when he looks at you, look back for a second then turn away and blush. That’s the coy approach and you only get a pass on the note thing while you’re still a kid. What’s more: take risks within reason. If you sit around being too afraid to do something, you regret it the rest of your life.

Risk taking got me some of the best sex I ever had.

Take Vins’ advice.

Just remember: nothing ventured, nothing gained

As a risk taker myself, the downs are bad but the ups are amaseing and worth the downs

When he first came to the forums, he was known simply as Jerk, and his name has chnaged a couple of times, such as Villainous Wasabi (Jerk) and Beef Jerkity Jerk (Jerk).

Some of us old guys here on the forums remember when he posted only as Jerk. Maj. Tom is not one of these guys, but he’s an astronaut, so it’s all cool.

There was a time when the Random Chat would vote on the next name. I think about resurrecting that tradition now that we have no more new Random Chats to name. ;p

No problem, akacatgirl.
