Any guy shy on here... this advice would really help me.
This guy never speaks to anyone let alone smile, when he's on his lunch he listens to music or reads some book, how do I talk to someone like him?
I approached a guy like this once back in high school and was surprised to find that he actually really appreciated that someone wanted to talk to him for once. He loved to listen to his music on the bus, and sometimes he would just sit there quietly. He had long hair that covered his face, so it was kind of intimidating and uninviting, so I was pretty nervous. One day I worked up the nerve to say "Hey, what's your name?" He nervously and quietly told me his name, and he acted as if he expected me to make fun of him or something, it was kind of sad. I just said "Well I'm [my name]" and he reached out and shook my hand, and then turned back around. That was the furthest I ever got, but he seemed really appreciative compared to his reactions to prior situations. He was usually made fun of a lot and I felt really bad for him.
Two things you'll need: Boldness and patience.
Try to find an opportunity to talk to him. It doesn't particular matter what about. Like the other guys have mentioned, you could start it off with music or books. A lot of people tend to link shyness or anti social behavior with being snobbish, but that's not the case most of the time. They just don't know how to connect to other people as easily as others, and some may not want to, but they do make exceptions. If that's something you're worried about, I don't think you should.
He's not going to open up to you immediately, so you'll have to keep trying. You'll eventually break through. So, if you aren't bold enough to start talking to him and you don't have the patience to keep trying, you should probably look elsewhere.
Im bold enough just not to the "extent" to what other girls do. I have respect and morals for myself and I also have a lot of negativity in my mind when it comes to talking to him.
You need to talk about stuff he likes. Ask him he'll definitely open up. And don't multitask when talking to him, he won't like feeling ignored.
Anti-social is someone who hates order and norms - those are vandals, criminals and rapists
Someone who's shy is not (necessarily) anti-social
How to talk with someone shy? You'll have to be very assertive, taking the leader role as you'll be doing the most of talking, find out about their interests, likes/dislikes, exchange contact information, arrange hanging out... then they might open up to you, such people got trust issues, whether or not they're aware of it, their shyness wards off strangers, yet around the people they have accepted and they know they are no longer shy

I myself am very anti-social I wouldn't talk to anyone. My advice is to first homework questions. Then say some mildly funny things then actual jokes. Tell people his name and maybe get a little emotional. Show him that you trust him. Then he will talk to you and maybe start a conversation this is a big mile stone. Ask him about his book and the premise and make sure to keep his trust.
I'm a shy guy and I would love it if a girl approached me and started taking an interest in me.
I suggest you approach him slowly and calmly, you don't want to scare him away.
The best way to find out about his interests and stuff is to ask for his number and then you can start texting to him where you can ask the questions.
Hopefully, the dude will start feeling comfortable to speaking to you and might start opening up to you in the open.
well how do I not scare him away?
Just strike up a conversation with him. People aren't going to flat out ignore someone speaking them. Ask him about his musical tastes, what he would recommend, who are his favorite bands...just talk
Simply talk to him.
Ask what he's reading, and give you an overview of it, then you can talk all things under the sun with him.
maybe he is nt comfortable around people so I think you should start by texting him
