Alright Guys, so i have seen alot of those girlfriend topics on this forum. So i decided to give this a try, so anyways here is my story. I am currently 16, grade 11..I am into this girl she is grade 10, problem though.. She knows that i exist because when i walk down the hall and i see her, i catch her looking at me. But unfortunately, i am one of those shy kids that are afraid of what they would say to a girl. My friends are saying don't think of anyone when you are trying to make friends, just think of yourself on how to make the impression because if i care what they think of me. It will make me look like me trying to be their B@$%&. Which is completely understandable, but i just like to keep a good impression on someone. Now here is where i need some help, i need the confidence to get to meet/know this girl. One of her best friends is friends with me, her friends bestfriend' boyfriend's brother is pretty close with me. I have all of these connections to her, but i just can't seem to man up and talk to her. So here is my desperate attempt in trying to see what people would do in my situation, thanks PUA! Don't know how to approach then continue the convo! HELP IM REALLY INTO THIS GIRL

I was in your situation once, the shy guy type in high school I look back in frustration. It was all about social value. The trick to mastering social value anywhere is internalizing that you do not care what other people think. So what if she rejects you? Yes you have a crush on her but it's not the first and not the last. If a girl rejects you for who you truly are do you really like her anyway. Force yourself to talk to her, you have the connections now act on them. In my opinion once you really internalize this quality, there is no first or second impression, just you. The impression of who you are will leave a greater mark then anyway you try to act or be. You are not shy, your actions are shy, separate yourself from this idea. As a person I am sure you are passionate about many things, let this passion show and she will be attracted. As for confidence join a club, intramural, or student council. Get to know everyone and show them you do not care what they think of you, because in the end its only you that you have to make happy.
