Hi RPW, I’m posting this on a throwaway.
I’m 17 and a current junior. There is a guy who I really like and want to talk to more, but I never have any alone time with him, nor does he really seem to notice me.
He’s a brilliant possibility in my head. I’ve never really pursued anyone before, and I’m not good at it. He’s incredibly smart and we share an AP class. We are on the same sports team and we share the same lane, so we see each other every day before school. We both do this sport for a club, and Is really like to date someone with the same dedication to my sport. He’s masculine and very attractive but sweet and seems really down to earth.
The problem is, I can’t get him alone. We have different friend groups, and in the class he sits across the room with his other male friends. He says hi to me every day, but it kind of stops there. Sometimes on the walk between buildings (we have a class at the college that is literally next to the HS) we talk. That’s really it. Even in practice, he’s very much “in the zone” and quiet in the mornings, and doesn’t really want to talk then to anyone at all.
I’m a solid 7, 8 on a nicer day. I am frequently told pretty/thin/nice. I’m friends with a lot of people and only had one real incident of petty drama, which he isn’t even aware happened. I’m seen as very approachable and helpful. I wear dresses or jeans with a nice shirt and necklace most days. I do minimal makeup. I don’t really think the problem is that I’m unattractive.
I think I lack the time to really actually talk to him. We haven’t ever discussed interests, hobbies, etc. He seems like a great guy, but I just want to be able to talk to him.
How do I get time alone with him or plant myself into his mind so he’ll seek out time with me? I’ve only known him more closely for a few weeks, so I’m not in a rush, but I feel like I’m not making a good enough impression.
