Need some advice

[MasonBA]

I've decided that when I go back to school this week I'm going to be brave and talk to the boy I have a major crush on. He's the same age as me, seems very nice and kids have told me he's easy to get to know. I've just been afraid to say anything because I think he's super cute and I get nervous around him.

Any advice on what to say? I'm not even sure he knows my name. I don't want to just say "Hi I'm Mason" and then stand there not knowing what else to say and look foolish. I'll probably be blushing which won't help

Thank you

Since I don't know you I can only say general stuff.
If you have seen him around to have a crush you must know where he hangs out at lunch ot maybe share classes with him. Make sure you are around when he is likely to be there and since its after a holiday it might be easier on the first day back ( so go for it if early you can)to say things like did you have a good Christmas and general stuff like that. Then see what happens.
All you can do is take it one step at a time. Good luck.

I think a lot of the time you don’t have to go into a conversation directly. It may help your nerves if you’re talking about something else and you can kind of gauge where to lead the conversation (or not). Do you have any shared classes or teachers? That’s an easy topic to start a conversation with. Maybe ask if he needs help (carrying something, or in another way) if you see an opportunity? Do you have a link to him on social media? You may possibly have a shared interest in something (a band, sport, something else). There’s always a chance to make friends with him while deciding how to approach your feelings

[MasonBA]

We share one class but don't sit near each other, we have assigned seats and at lunch the table he usually sits at is full before I get there. Good idea Adamant to ask about his Christmas. And SpaceyCayce I didn't think to ask him stuff about the class we share another good idea

Thank you both

Do you know him? What he likes to do? Like sports, his favorite cllass and all that?

I really don't know a lot about him. He doesn't play on any of the school sports teams, seems smart, he gets a good grade in our class. Just know he's cute, seems nice and makes my tummy feel weird LOL

Well yes introduce yourself to him and tell him that you would like to be friends and hang out together. That would be a start and would put the ball in his court to answer you back and start a conversation.

How can you have a crush on someone you dont even know? What attracts you?

Since he has good grade maybe you could start the convo like 'btw, since you're good at <insert class here>, could you help me out in some exercises?'

[SethfromMI]

Do you know any of the same friends? Maybe one of them can help introduce you to him. Not that you need to do it that way, but sometimes it can make things feel less awkward (depending on the person I guess). As others suggested, try to find things you both have in common and go form there.

His looks attract me.

So I took a little of everyone's advice and approached him yesterday morning before class.
Turns out I was scared for no reason. His name is Dylan and he actually was sort of shy and wanted to talk with me too. We're becoming friends quickly and have plans to get together this weekend

Thanks everyone

Say Hi Im Mason---then ask what kind of sports he likes
or music or video game. Get the conversation going to
break the ice. Then if he says he likes "this" then say
I like it too and hopefully more will b spoken. If u blush
then blush-tell him ur nervous. If he likes u this wouldn't
matter.

If you have any social media, I'd look for something he posted that you have a shared interest in and start talking in the DMs from there. For me, it's always easier to get to know someone indirectly, then to start talking to them face to face.
