How To Get A Shy Guy To Like Me?

[Lizzie2000]

Okay, so there's this new guy in my class. Here's kind of quite around some people, but he's really sweet and nice, like he helped me in my Technology project during class. He sometimes talks to me, but it's mostly related to work. I don't know him really well, since he's new, and by new, I mean he's just been here for like 1 and a half week. All I know about him is that he's not that good in P.E, or sports, for that matter. He's kind of small in height, he's 13, he's from Texas, wears glasses, smiles and laughs a lot, likes drawing, and likes video games. And here's some other info if it's helps anything:
He sits next to me in Tech class (well, actually, he used to sit two seats farther form me, but then he moved), and he sits next to me in social studies (not that the teacher told him to).

Things about me (if it helps):
I'm not really that good with guys, and by that, I mean flirting.
I'm taller than him (awkward).
I laugh, A LOT!!!!!!
I talk A LOT!!!! (not with him, but with my other girl friends, not guys).
I've never had a boyfriend.
I SUCK at flirting (meaning I've never tried it, and I probably never will)
I blush A LOT while talking to someone I like.
I've already been rejected once, while in 7th grade (by someone else).
We're both in 8th grade, in the same class.

The thing about the shy guy is that you need to be more direct with him. You are going to need to get to know him better. Shy guys don't pick up well on flirting, any way. What works best is to become really good friends with him and then tell him that you really like him more than just a friend.

Thanks for answering mine! I appreciate it!

When you get assigned a project, ask to be his partner then ask for his number. Text him about the project, but casually start talking about other things.

Flirting doesn't have to be with words. Play with your hair, tilt your chin down and look up at him, bite your lip, don't cross your arms, and dress nicely.

He's sound like a good guy, just a little shy. For some people, especially young people, school can be a terrifying thing, then bring into the picture a cute young girl that likes you, it can be a little awkward(but not in a bad way). The fact that he's not a jock is a definite plus(nerds basically rule the world). You'll need to figure out how to get him alone somewhere some how. That way there won't be any added social pressure, maybe a project after school, or agree to meet him somewhere besides school, and if he is shy then this goes hand in hand with low self esteem so pay him some well deserved compliments(build him up) when you can and if he tells a joke laugh like crazy. The fact of the matter is, you sound like a smart girl and I'm sure you'll get this one hook, line, and sinker

Just try and be his friend first, talk to him on facebook, text. Just remember to be yourself. If you pretend to be someone your not he's going to like the pretend you, not the real you. After a while, he might start liking you, but if you can't tell. Maybe try to drop hints, he might not pick up on them well because he's shy, but blush when you speak to him ( which you already do) look really deeply into his eyes when you speak. Maybe get him a gift. Maybe just tell him that you like him. Give him a while though he needs to process it and figure out if he feels the same way. If he still doesn't like you move on. He sounds very cute though, I'm jelous. This might be useful http://youtu.be/KpOEJd5LRVQ it's very accurate coming from my expirence with shy guys
