Ive gone out with girls before, been through all the relationship stuff. But ive noticed this girl who is on my soccer team always says hi to me in the hallways. Shes pretty shy, and im not sure if she likes me or if shes just friendly. Id usually feel normal asking someone out in this situation, but shes in 8th grade and im a freshman. So, advice please?

Just play it by ear. Don't majke any sudden moves, and just let it all play out. You say hi first. Talk to her if you can at practice. Text her if you want.

Age difference isn't bad at all.

I love how nowadays we all assume everyone has a cell phone.

I don't know the age gap between 8th grade and freshman since I live in the UK, but age difference isn't all bad.
Just see how it goes for a while. Try to make more conversation with her, get to know each other a bit

I think she likes you but as you said she is shy.
you must first talk to her and you'll see is there something deeper

Yea were friends but itd be weird if I asked her out and she really just wanted to be friends :s

Oh and at my school middle schoolers dating freshmen isnt really socially acceptable.

I would worry about getting to know her FIRST before you start caring or thinking about what other people are thinking. Cuse hell if YOUR happy they can go fuck themselves =)

haha
But really, I would first just start talking to her. Don't ask her out yet, get to know her a little. If she is shy she wont really like just jumping into a date. Another way to look at it is that if she doesn't like you more than a friend then you cant lose anything by just talking to her.


Good luck!

Just talk to her and make an effort to chat everyday then you'll know whether or not she's interested that way.

So you're gonna pussy out and let her be alone and maybe feel left out?
Approach her slowly, be nice, pay her attention and try to get some conversation going. Show her that you're interested.

You seem like a nice guy, wouldnt you rather see her end up with someone like you rather than some douchebag just trying to get into her underwear?


Go for it, I say.

And I know I'm saying this like I am some kind of profesional, but I must tell you; I was quite afraid of talking to the girl I liked, and I actually spent months just being afraid of what would happen if I asked her out. One day I mustered courage, and in a week I had quite the good relationship with her, until she moved to Denmark

Good luck mate
