Crushing

[IsANerd101]

I'm a 14 y.o. guy, and I'm seriously crushing on this girl who goes to church with me. She's a year younger than me almost to the day, and she's really cute. At the same time she's really shy too, to the point where you almost never hear her say a word. My question is, how should I talk to her? And what should I say to my parents? (They've not been overly supportive of my love-life in the past, though I really was too young when they said that).

Talk about stuff with her that she is interested in or do something together

You need to try and edge her out of her shell and see if she'll talk. Just take it slow, build up a friendship and go from there. Don't rush it, if she's a year younger she may be a little hesitant to be in a relationship, like I said just try and build up a friendship and go from there.

As for your parents, I don't really think you need to tell them, it's your life you can choose whether or not to tell them.

I would second what Siobhan said, and begin to build a friendship with her first. Don't go too much at once, because I know that if you're too outgoing with her, she might be a little turned off if she really is that shy. But just take is slowly, become her friend. Get to know her, and let her get to know you. Many times, friendships like this can lead into relationships. This will also give you a chance to see whether or not your personalities are compatible with each other, to see if you really are a good match. As for your parents, you do need to respect their wishes within reason, but also realize that you're old enough to make these sorts of decisions for yourself. If you really like this girl, then your parents should support you, and if they don't, then that's really their problem. If you like this girl, then whether your parents approve or not I would think it's alright to date her (once you've gotten to know her.) However, you said you were younger too, and that may have had something to do with it as well, I don't know, I'm not your parents. I would still tell them if you date her, because they're your parents and deserve to know, but also make sure that they know whether they're supportive or not, you like this girl and you're going to date her regardless--in a respectful manner, of course.

Pretend you are a loner and walk up to her and be like " can I sit here? I have no one to talk to" if she is shy she will probably say yes. Introduce yourself and find something to talk about?

If you like to be sad like me, then don't say anything and let her drive you mad.
If you like to be happy, just talk to her It really doesn't matter what you say.
