How am I supposed to talk to this guy in my class?

[Wonsungideuri]

There's this guy in my college class that I kind of have a crush on. He seems really nice but I have no idea how to talk to him. He sits directly in front of me so he's not ever facing me or anything and I don't know how to bring up anything to talk about with him. Even if I do talk to him, how do I let him know that I'd like to talk to him a lot or that I'm interested in him? I've been feeling really anxious for the past few days and I'm really stressed out and I don't know what to do.

 

Edit: This guy also sits next to his friend every day. Is it okay to talk to him while his friend is there?

the easiest way to start convo with someone in class is "do you know if we had hw due today?" then just go on from there 

[_Joo]

yooo we're in very similar situations rn (except I've talked to the guy in question outside of class before but since the class we have together is HUGE it's super hard to sit by him and I don't see him around much besides that) :(

just say hi every day, if the interest is mutual, then he will try to strike up some conversation too, also, stalk him on social media and discover about his personal interests, if you have some interest in common then it's something more to talk about.

i go to an all girls school so i cant relate but just say hi to him

GURL you gotta 'drop' your pencil ;) right in front of his face!

yes and then if he says yes like groan or be like oh no or something cause then he'll definitely ask 

"why you didn't do it?" 

and then you can be like I was doing so and so on that day and blah blah blah

Please excuse me for sounding like an old person, but here's a story:

 

Near my apartment there's a street which is nearly impossible to cross due to constant traffic. The particular intersection at which I find myself occasionally needing to cross has no traffic lights. I often wait an excessive amount of time before I am able to cross the street. Several times now, someone else just plain started crossing the road, forcing cars to stop (not in a disruptive way). I joke with my brother about this, "The most important step to crossing the street is crossing the street."

 

I'd like to argue that maxim applies to this situation: "The most important step in talking to someone is talking to them." A couple months ago there was a person with whom I desired to converse for a while. When I finally opened conversation, it was mostly just because I put out the effort to actually talk. Attempting to find an ideal situation is futile. There will never (or rarely) be an opportunity in which they look your way while not busy and while you are not doing something else. Just start speaking words, and you will magically be talking to the guy in your class.

 

But also, the asking about homework question is fantastic.

Ask him but wait when he is alone ....

i mean Ask something not hit him

You can try sitting next to him and being very friendly from the start like introducing yourself and talking to him as soon as you sit next to him. If you let more time pass you're just gonna feel more anxious so you just gotta do it without thinking about it too much.

preach sis. or just any class subject related stuff. btw, talking with him while the friend is sitting beside is fine. you can talk as if you're starting the convo with both guys

[minassi]

Talk to him like he's any other person, i mean you might get jitters at first but i'm sure you'll get over it. If you really like this guy, I don't see why not. He seems like a very decent person.

[Ripiaoppa]

Talk to his friend and then eventually he'll join in.. that way you're not as nervous and obvious

[BLINK(Sone)ONCE]

Just start a convo & ask him if he's interested on going on a date with you. Cause remember Confidence is sexy

[JiMiJu]

Start slow and build up over time. 

[arineunha]

ask him if you could borrow a pencil (even if you have one) then try to be all friendly and thank him. then ask for his number for class updates and go from there :3 be open

[yumenoriver]

If you're shy, try getting a friend and talk to him while in a group of his and your friends. That way there will be less pressure on you both to keep the conversation going. To be honest, I actually would recommend talking to while his friends is there, just remember to speak up and make sure you're not shut out of the conversation.

 

Seeing you're in the same class, any subject related to that should work. Just be sure to steer of it as quick as possible, so he doesn't just associate you with school. Making the first move isn't very easy, but I think you can do it! It's alright to be nervous, just don't play coy or disinterested. Sure, no need to shout it in his face, but make sure you show that you like him, as a person, in a friendly way to start off. Make him like talking to you!
