Your Question:
Dear Experts,
I like a girl that goes to my school, and I think she likes me too. I dont get to see her to offten, just in the halls and stuff. I say hey to her everyday, give her a hug, and she writes me notes, but thats basically it. I really like her, but dont know what to do or say to take the relationship to the next level. Im not dating her, and I dont know what to do or say. What would I do to get to see her out of school, or say to her to let her know that Im really interested and such? What is something I can do to spend time with her and get to know her more without feeling akward or uncomfortable?

The Answer:
Dear gibsonman2,
Although getting to know someone — whether you're crushing on her or not — might seem really difficult, it's a lot easier than you think.
Here are a few pointers to get you started:
Think about some things you have in common with the person you're interested in. Do you know if she likes a certain kind of music you like? Do you have any mutual friends? Once you've identified something you think you have in common or want to talk about, try to find a time when you can be alone or have some privacy. You may even want to give her a call or send her an e-mail or IM.
You might want to consider asking her to do something with you and your other friends that could be fun or interesting, like going to a movie, the park, or a concert. This way you have some time to get to know each other without being alone with each other — which might make it a more comfortable way to start.
Hope this information helps!
Take care,
