How to get him to approach me

[nerozaraangel]

:confused:
Ok heres my problem I really like this guy that i used to go to school with. I think he likes me because we had several classes together and we were always looking at eachother I tried to let him know i liked him by doing that trick where you look at him and then quickly look away and then look back and smile but he never aproached me how do i find out if he likes me? i am really really shy and don't think i could make the first move. Now that we are graduated from high school i see him working at the mall and we look at eachother but still he makes no move to talk to me is there any way to make myself more approachable or should i try other flirting techniques?
Please Help!! Thank You

from what i heard, the whole -looking away quickly- thing doesnt work. guys may think something is coming out of their nose or something lol. what you need to do is look at him, and look away SLOWLY. also maybe you should try a wink? keep up with the smiling and stuff. strike up a convo with him! say, "hey you went to school with me didnt you...whats up how are ya?" and maybe ask him to coffee to 'catch up'. let me know how it goes!

winking is a no-no for shy guys. it's a turn off, at least for me. it suggests a girl who is a bit *too* easy.

or just skip the whole winking, eye-contact, flirty smiling, head-games stage and go straight to asking him out for coffee. that's a pretty innocuous first date, and even if you're shy you can do the asking. it doesn't have to be a big deal, just use ricochet's suggestion.

Well, the next time you are in close vicinity of each other, say 'One, two, THREE' to yourself and START A CONVERSATION. I know people have said wild stories about successes on all those 'looking and staring' tactics but nothing is more honest than talking and getting to know the other person. What happens after that depends on him and whether he is interested in pursuing a convo with you. A simple 'Hi' followed by an open-ended question can make the aforementioned tactic much more effective. Just my thoughts.

Oh and yea, NEVER wink. And, I know this is really childish but... when staring try to make it so that his/her friends are aware. Nothing like peer persuasion to jumpstart a friendship... and perhaps something more.
