Any advice on how to talk to my senior high school crush?

[Anonymous]

So I am a senior in high-school and I have a crush on this guy that I see around the school on occasion. We don’t have any classes together this year but we did have a zoom class together last year. How do I talk with him? My brother has his snapchat but I don’t wanna seem obsessive by adding it. We seem to have a lot in common and I know a couple of people that know him. I’m just afraid cause I’ve been through a lot of unrequited scenarios. But if y’all have any advice on how to talk with him it would be much appreciated! ☮️🧡

My brother happens to have his snapchat

I was in your exact same situation sooooo I asked my friend to tell him I’m attracted to him in front of me. Then I’d act embarrassed like she wasn’t supposed to say that. He was a total jerk about it and we never ended up dating.


That was back when I was 18. 5 years later he’s tried to date me twice since this happened. I definitely left a mark on him lol.


So yes take my advice or leave it up to you!

I don’t have a friend that knows him but I talk to this girl in my History class that knows who he is so maybe I can get her to say something but I’d prefer for it to genuinely come from me

[Alyssa11]

Sure. Do what you feel is right for you and reflective of your personality! This is just mine :)

My point was go for it. Life is too short!

Just talk to him. Compliment this will start a conversation.

[TravisOfOregon]

Why not just tell him you're into him and ask if he wants to talk to you?

Admittedly, I am not a great resource for dating advice seeing as I'm autistic and have yet to date anyone.
Maybe there's a reason why neurotypicals make romantic stuff so difficult and complicated. Laying your cards on the table always seemed like the best way forward to me. 🤷‍♂️

It’s simple if you like someone let them know & in life if you never try you will never know & if your crush happens to be in a relationship simply move on.

[Asker]

And how would I do this? Over snapchat? Cause realistically the halls are very crowded when I see him but my brother does happen to have his snapchat

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If you really like someone who gives a fuck if the halls are crowded find a way to talk to them FACE TO FACE & not this phone to phone bullshit people do nowadays that makes me want to vomit. If the guy doesn’t have a girlfriend walk the fuck up to him & take a fucking chance.

If you & I were in the same school this very moment & I had a crush on you I would walk up to you & say the following. If covid doesn’t take you out can I? On the flip side if you like him turn the table on him & say the following. If COVID Doesn’t Take (ME) Out Can You?

[Asker]

Thanks for the advice mr static! Going for it today!! I’ll let you know what happens ☮️🙏

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If it happens it happens & if it doesn’t at least you tried & there will be plenty of opportunities in your future.

[Asker]

He said he’s glad I got the courage to ask and he thinks I’m attractive as well !! 😌 so we’re talking now but I don't know if it’s gonna go anywhere

[Static_In_The_Attic]

In life every journey starts with one small step & as for you I’m proud of you because you took a leap. As for me I live by a few rules when it comes to life. In life you should never give up, you should never give in & most of all you should keep moving forward no matter what. As for you & your new friend both of you are talking now & communication is the key. For the time being take things show & don’t think about where things are going think about what is happening now & as long as you are happy that is all that counts. As for you my friend I wish you the best & I wish you the best on your every day journeys & so much more. Cheers & chow for now.

Trust me, just talk to him and he'll accept you, guys don't get asked much so are always happy to be asked

[No_biryani]

Add him on snapchat. See where the conversation goes

[Asker]

I can make a snapchat and add him I guess. Mine was deleted a while ago cause I didn’t want it which is why I was hoping to get his #

[No_biryani]

Just make a new snap and see what happens

[cloud9vortex1234]

Go talk to him. Many guys are still figuring out the cues and signals women give at that age. Some like myself had no clue. Guys are very direct.

[Wise4myage]

Bump into him and make it look like an accident. Or make your own Snapchat account and add him.

[Asker]

You don’t think this would look desperate or is it fine? My brother has his snap and he knows a girls that’s closed to him

[Asker]

I mean realistically.. this guy probably doesn’t even know who I am

[Wise4myage]

No, not at all. Or just make eye contact with him and smile a lot.

[Wise4myage]

Then make him notice you.

[Nightwing778]

Approaching him & talking to him is probably the best bet, you will never know if you don't try

[SenseiSeptred]

Do what you need to do to get to know him.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

should not be dating, at your age

[anylolone]

Just go talk to him.
