Is it worth trying to get the most popular guy at school?

[Princess_98]

There is a guy at my school who I have been checking out for a couple months now, and I would really like to learn to know him.
The problem is that he is downright super-hot and also very popular, and this causes a lot of problems.
First of all, I am very scared of getting rejected, and secondly, it's hard to have him for myself since he is usually together with other girls (who also flirt with him).
And also, I am just generally nervous around him, like constant butterflies in my stomach etc.
I have managed to approach him once, and that was when I knew he was good at math and asked him on one occasion if he could help me with something, and I pretty much stammered and giggled and acted really silly during the whole situation since I was so nervous.
And when he explained things to me I would often stand with wide eyes and check him out (his chest and arms are at eye-level for me, and he is really fit, so it was hard to resist ogling him, haha).
But yeah, basically I feel extremely nervous when I am around him, but maybe he thinks this is cute or something?
I hope so.
But I am still really worried about asking him out since I would hate to be rejected by a guy like him, but I have no idea how to show my interest for him so that he is absolutely sure that I really am interested in him.

I know if a girl acted like that around me I would find it cute & would probably feel pleased about it, he probably knows you are interested in him, try speaking to him more regularly and see where it goes from there.

Yes I will try tomorrow, although I must say it was a massive challenge to do it the first time. :P
But hopefully I will find it easier tomorrow, it was truly beautiful to be able to talk to him for a while like that.

I feel kind of silly for being this focused on him, but I find him so outstandingly cute and sexy that just watching him from afar makes me nervous, haha.
But I guess that's what happens when you are completely utterly swooned by someone.

Now that you mention it, he probably liked when he caught me looking at his body with curious eyes numerous times as well, at least he couldn't have thought of it as an insult, haha.

Well that is what those feelings of lust do for you, I can completely relate to looking at someone and feeling that way, I still felt it for my ex after a year and a half of being together. Just take it slow & good luck :D

Thank you. ^^

Yes, I understand that, but I still felt a little weird when I stood right next to him and constantly stared straight at his chest and arms as if I were in seventh heaven when he tried to explain things for me. :P

No worries.

Is being rejected really such a bad thing? You're inevitably going to have to face rejection in your life. You might as well take a risk. If it goes well, then hooray. If you're rejected, big whoop, you move on and you learn from it and you say, "hey, at least I tried." You miss all the shots you don't take, after all. What do you have to lose?

I cant stress enough about how much that is true, forever relating to so much stuff posted on the R&D section.

I fully agree with this too. Gaining experience is so beneficial for life, and being rejected gives you that experience, so might as well get it done at an early age when it doesn't matter that much.

Also towards the OP, I think he liked it that you looked at him like that, I know I would, and most guys do too. I also think that when girls act like you acted towards him it's super adorable so you don't need to worry. Now about the whole jealousy thing because of other girls flirting with him, if you do date him, and if he is a good guy and knows proper ethics and about relationships he'll make sure that he doesn't allow those girls to flirt with him and will make sure he shows you off.

But you aren't even there yet, so don't worry about that right now. If he is interested in you, then I say totally go for it. The only way to find that out though is to do what you did in math class. Good luck :) If you have any other questions or need any help I am usually always here answering questions.

It can't hurt to at least ask him :)

Yes you are right about that, I just feel so really scared of this because in my eyes he is absolutely perfect - every single thing about him perfectly matches my personal taste when it comes to guys, so I would hate if he wasn't interested.
It would take a really really long time to get over him, and I would probably end up trying to ask him out several more times after that anyway, hoping that he will say yes some day. xD

But yes, I must try today, I am going to school in a couple hours.
This is really exciting! :D

Yes, of course you'd hate it, but that's part of life. You may as well accept it now. Also, if he firmly says no, I wouldn't continue to harass him, just a suggestion :P

Good for you! Let us know how it goes.
