Wow, loads of tips. I've not read it thoroughly, but I don't think anyone's mentioned poetry..........does no one here think that writing poems or quoting Byron time to time will help?
I have heard the whole act unintrested line 1000s of times, maybe someone could just explain how you pull off this whole unintrested thing and make it successful. Let me clarify, Grizzy has partially gone past caring so im sure i walk around with a permanent air of distintrest, i have never asked a girl out, initiated a conversation or physical contact with a girl (bar simple requests like borrow pencil, where do i find the magazines) it even got to the point where one girl who im friends with decided i was gay.
So with my permanent air of disinterest they should be queing around the corner *stares with disdian at empty street corner*

Now, the problem is, my roommate spilled the beans and now the entire school knows I like her. That blew everything I had in mind. For some unknown reason, I haven't been able to talk to her at all (unusually shy - something odd at Mr. Big Mouth).
Now, what should I have done?
This summer i'm taking off my glasses, which make me look like a stupid nerd, and I will seriously work out so I can be proud of my six pack when I swim. For sure I will go for her when I come back to school, so I'll suffer a bit for 2 months while I'm on vacation.
But what should I have done before? How detrimental is when someone spills the beans and she finds out about it? And how do I get to the point where she starts taking me seriously, because I'm afraid of overdoing it and I'll end up being the guy who's gonna console her when somebody else dumped her!
Thank you.
I want an edyzmedieval for my birthday. Maybe he unintentionally did you a favor. Wouldn't be too agressive if she already knows you like her, sounds like a baby-steps case watch for signals. If you have to make a move buy a new pear of shoes and convince yourselve it makes all the difference in the world wearing them.
Man... Summertime is the perfect time to have a girlfriend. Go for it!!!
Girls like attention and she now knows you like her. If you ever had a chance with her, now is the time to act.
If there were some magic that could transport me back to my late teens, I would not hesitate a second. I would act on more of the opertunities I had. Not that I never acted on any. The confidence and knowledge of someone in the 30ties would have been priceless in the body of a 18 year old.

I'm only 15 and look back on my chances with girls when I was around 13 with great regret, if I had gone for it then I would have had so much more experience...
Edyz, ask her out now. The worst that could happen is that she says no. If she says no then it will be over and everyone will have 2 months to forget what a complete loser you are.

Can't wait until uni when I'll get a fresh slate
When I was 15 I was playing with lego and starwars dolls you'll be fine
and yeah Edyz, staying quiet is the worst thing you can do, she might even be offended if she knows you like her but you're ignoring her. Listen to W&Fs.

Well, there are a lot of married people here...
Anyways, yes, I do have a girlfriend. Almost two years.

I feel your pain brother... (not just once either... Gah!)
If your interested in my saga:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Well...
In particular, I have a really good friend who happens to be a girl, more because she has a boyfriend and I found out before it was too late (no thanks to her, her mother told me). However she spends a fair amount of the time, not really complaining about her boyfriend, but criticising him. Now I pride myself on being as fair as possible, but eventually it comes down to the fact that I genuinely think she deserves better. Seen as I have less than zero confidence, (and this guy is twice the size of me, I'd kill him at any competitive sport, but he's big), I haven't said anything, yet.
Now just to complicate things she's going to Europe for at least a few months, maybe longer if things work out for her. Excellent, and good for her. Her boyfriend is going with her for a few weeks and then coming back here to 'await developments'.
So pretty much I don't know whether to tell her what I think.
And apologies for being off-topic.
If not to the point at hand. Talk to her ASAP. It's all well and good saying that your taking your glasses off and working out and you're going to look like Adonis in a few months... not going to happen. If she doesn't like you for who you are then it's not going to last.
Things are going well over in my neck of the woods...just check a few pages back in the family photos thread...
But yea edzy, just ask her out and if ya get shot down. Work out alllll summer and get some muscles then tell, "look at what your missing out on," should work...at least only in theory but go for it before summer hits.
I did my head in to day, mind boggling circumstances. I went out with a friend today. He bumped into a guy he knows. Pudgy, actually obviously overweight, stupid and arrogant. And guess what, he has this absolute stunner with him. How!
What you need to do is slick back your hair, wear a real nice suit, have a gin and tonic in one hand and smoke a pipe. Then when she enters the room, act nonchalant like she doesn't exist until she comes within conversation distance. You look her up and down, and let her know you're checking her out, looking for any possible flaws. Stand up, and move to her really elegantly, and whisper into her ear "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you take your pants off and dance around a little?"

So true
Go for it edyz, really. Don't believe the "act cool and disinterested" crap. Smile at her, be friendly, if you have the opportunity, behave like a gentleman (open the door for her, help her carrying something). Try to make some jokes about the gossiping going on about the two of you. Let her know by your behaviour and witty remarks that going out with you will at least be fun. And once you get her smiling or laughing, ask her out.

Ehm, the events are taking place in a school, not in a striptease bar

I thought that line went more like: "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"
