I'm currently in high school (senior year) and I got a crush on someone a grade below mine (same age though). However, I've never really talked to her at all because of two main reasons:
1. It would be way too obvious for anyone with half a brain.
2. It would be extremely awkward since I have no idea what to even start talking about.
What do I do? I can't get this off my mind.
Alright, I'll tell you one thing as someone who's had to take a number of adolescent psychology classes for my degree.
First of all understand that at your age you are wired to think everyone cares about you and what you do far more than they actually do.
Forget about #1 there, it's not as obvious as you think and people do not care as much as you think, I promise you. Listen to an old fag with experience on this, 5 years from now you'll get it too.
as for point 2, find some sort of mutual thing. You go to the same school, that's a good start, find something in your school environment to break the ice. Talk about classes, talk about teachers, talk about school clubs and activities, talk about colleges since you're both getting to that point. Let conversation flow naturally.
If you don't take a chance you're guaranteed to miss out, just do it anon.
And if she shoots you down, I know right now it'll seem like a huge embarrassment but you know what, this would even be a good experience for you. The more you try and fail now, the better you'll be when you're older. Getting shot down isn't that big a deal, you just move on to the next one.
