How to talk to this guy?

0

There’s this boy I’ve been crushing on since October. He knows who I am because we’ve gone to the same church since we were children. The only word I’ve ever said to him was hi. I really like him, but I don’t know how to start the conversation. A friend of mine tried to help by getting his number, then she proceeded to call him anonymously and told me that if I didn’t say anything to him she would tell him that it was me. I was too nervous to actually talk to him so I said a few words in German. The next day a friend of mine and his calls me and tells me that he’s really upset that I prank called him. So I’m scared to text to him, and he doesn’t show up at church as often. What should I do?

You can go 'apologize' for the 'prank', and that way you'll have a subject of conversation. From then you can engage on anything. "Sorry about the prank the other time, I know it wasn't cool.", "Oh it's alright...", "Nice shirt, fits you well, you look nice, wanna bear my children and soul?", "I diddly do!". Done deal.

While I won't say it will go as smoothly as DJ has put it... I will say that he has a point. Make the effort to talk to him at this point nothing is going to sound silly because you've prank called him.

Men and women are equally afraid of asking each other out. The only difference is that men have a societal pressure they feel to do so. Quick like a band aid tell him you want to hang out!

You'll only regret what you didn't do in life. Don't let this be the proverbial "one that got away".

To tell you the truth, that was not a good act of goodness by your friends. I believe that they need to tell him that it was them and not you and apologize. You don't want him to be mad at you for absolutely no reason right? I would also say that if they don't want them to tell him, you could and that would be a perfect convo. starter! You don't know, he could like you!!!
