One way to get them to realize that you are breathing next to them is to say hi as you walk in. This is one of the simplest things to do. And if you say hi as you walk in they will most likely watch you as you sit next to them. If you see them looking at you, you can simply smile and tell them your name and ask for theirs. That is the first way for them to notice that you actually exist.
Another way for them to notice you is for you to ask them for help on something you do not under stand. Do NOT pretend that you are stupid so that they will help you. That is one of the worst things that you could do. Lindsey Lohan’s move on Mean Girls for Eric Samuels is No WAY to peruse classmates you are interested in.
Yet another step you can take is when a group project comes up you should ask him or her if they want to be your partner. This is a great excuse to give him or her, your phone number and get theirs. You can even plan a trip to the public library to meet up and work on the project. This is a great step to get to know the person you are swooning over.
Then, after the project is over you can still see if him or her would like to study together for the class you are taking together. This is a great way for you to get to know more about this person and see if it looks like he or she likes you back.
Is it a good decision to date your classmate? It depends on if the classmates make your grades suffer. If you cannot handle a boyfriend or girlfriend and your school work at the same time you so not need to pursue a relationship with classmates.
There are things that you need to watch out for when you are dating in school. I know that most of you have taken sex ed. I had to take it in freshman, ninth, grade year. It may see like a bunch of kicks and giggles, but it is all true. You need to keep these things in mind as you date classmates, or anyone for that matter. Those things are real and they do happen! Just keep those in mind. Do not let them pressure you into things that you are not ready for.
Dating is a great experience. It gives you a chance to get to know other people. For your first date it is best to go on a double date. It keeps things from getting hairy and uncomfortable. You can get your friend to come with you and get them to bring a date. In doing this can eliminate those uncomfortable silences because their being more people with you, you will not have to be the only person who will have to talk. And if it gets to where your date is pressuring you to do things that you do not want to do, your friends are there to bail you out.
Dating a classmate can be a great thing too. I know plenty of people who have married their high school sweethearts and are still together. Dating classmates can lead to many happy things. It can give you someone to talk to. And someone to help you make it through your stressful, dramatic, and sometimes traumatizing high school years.
