Well it would have been much more beneficial for you if he had been in your class; more opportunities to speak to him and it wouldn't seem that "weird" if you did approach him.

Any other opportunities for you to speak to him besides a cold approach?

He is in my class; he's in Spanish and AP Stats with me. The thing is, I don't know his name or anything about him. Wouldn't it be weird if I talked to him? Unless some rare chance comes up I don't think I'll have an opportunity.

He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd want to be friends with me though, let alone date me (which I won't even think about because I know what to expect).

Well, try to forget what he may want, because to be perfectly honest nobody knows until some form of action is taken.

I wouldn't know what to suggest; you could try a cold approach but that would be the slightly more riskier option. You should try and put yourself in a position where you can speak to him. Perhaps one day you can approach him asking about homework or something, then introduce yourself?

Maybe I can try one day, but I don't think any opportunity like that will ever come up. I'd be too nervous anyways.

I guess my best personal option would be to just do nothing. I don't think he'd want to be my friend anyways. I'm thinking too much into this and I'm just going to end up expecting something and being inevitably disappointed :"(.

Just take a chance before jumping to conclusions. You have a chance right here, just try and go speak to him. You never know what he'd say. and like I said, you don't know for sure how just because he's in the "popular" crowd that he wouldn't date you or be your friend. there are guys out there that is the most popular and do date girls outside of that. he might be one of them. Again, you haven't talked to him so you don't know that for sure.

I know I don't know for sure, but...I just don't know if I'll have a chance. I'm not thinking about dating, because I know that'll never happen, I'm simply thinking along the lines of friendship. He's a quiet person, and he isn't loud-mouthed or arrogant. He asks questions in class and does his homework, unlike a lot of people. He's attractive, but I think that calm personality draws me to him. But like I said, I doubt I'd have any chance of being friends with him. He seems popular, but I've only seem him hanging around two popular boys, so I can't be 100% sure he's part of that group. Still, I have my doubts :(.

That is the kind of guy you want anyways... A guy who is actually into his school work and gonna grow up and do something with himself. Again, I am gonna say this until I am blue in the face, it's all about giving it a chance and a try. You don't have to exactly go into his face and say, "Hi", if he happens to be beside your desk you sit at then just say Hello or something and see if he says something back. If that made any sense..

I don't know if I'll ever have an opportunity like that though. And I tend to get excited about things only to be disappointed. I don't want to end up like that, especially over someone I could never have.
