(Hey guys, I'm new here, can't wait to get to know you:))
Alright, so this is how it goes. Prepare for a somewhat lengthy post.
All through late elementary school and the first years of middle school liking girls was just the thing that me and my friends teased each other about if you know what I mean, but now we're in 8th grade and things have changed considerably. One of my best friends had his first girlfriend this year, it didn't last very long, but it's kinda shown that the idea is "out there" in a way. The more I look at thing the more I start to see that most of my friends have someone. A girl that they talk to/have a good relationship with/probably are attracted to. And then theres me.
So ever since 4th grade I had a crush on this girl, lets call her M, but in the last year I'm not really sure who I like anymore. She is also starting to kind of associate herself with another friend group, mostly a guy named Jake. Now I have no hard feelings against Jake, it just shows that it might be a good thing that I'm kind of over M. Now I've always been kind of shy, but I'm starting to improve, talk to people more, and I think I might kind of like the girl who sits next to me in Geometry class, lets call her K, but that is another dilemma.
You see, my school has a jazz band. It is a try out group and I didn't make it, however a lot of my friends did. It's a much smaller group and the people in it are more connected, they talk to each other a lot. "K" is in the jazz band and because of that it seems like she just doesn't really know me. I only have 2 classes with her. The main way I judge how well someone knows you is if they will start a conversation. She will go up and say things to my brother and my friends who are in the Jazz band but not to me.
All of the jazz band people are kind of automatically friends but that doesn't include me, and I guess what my question is how do I get to know this girl and become friends for a shy person like me? I get kind of nervous when I talk to her and I just feel really awkward.
