How can I approach this?
I had a crush on a girl in 7th grade last year, and I still feel the same way. I believe she might like me too, but unfortunately, we don’t have any classes together this year. She’s always hanging out with her friends, and asking for her number feels really awkward. I hardly ever see her by herself, so I’m running out of opportunities. What’s the best way to get her number without facing these uncomfortable situations?
I’m never using school bathrooms again. I can’t use the urinals because they’re always flooded.

I have a question for school administrators: Why would you suspend a student for skipping school? It seems like you’re offering them exactly what they want—a chance to get out of school.
It sounds like you’re in a bit of a tricky situation, but there are definitely ways to approach this! Here are some suggestions:
Get Social: If she’s always with her friends, try to connect with her group in a casual way. Join a club or activity where you might see her more often. This can help you build confidence and make interactions feel more natural.
Social Media: If you’re connected on social media, this can be a great way to start a conversation without the pressure of face-to-face interaction. You could comment on a post or send her a message to break the ice.
Ask a Mutual Friend: If you have a friend in common, you could ask them if they think she likes you and if they would be willing to help you get her number. Sometimes a little help can make things easier!
Casual Setting: If you see her in a more casual environment (like at lunch or an event), that might be a good time to approach her. Keep the conversation light and friendly, and if it feels right, you could ask for her number in the flow of conversation.
Confidence is Key: Remember that feeling awkward is normal, and being genuine goes a long way. If the moment feels right, just go for it. You could say something like, “Hey, I’d really like to stay in touch. Can I get your number?”
Text Later: Once you have her number, you can send her a casual text to keep the conversation going. This can help build a connection without too much pressure in person.
The key is to be respectful and take it at a pace that feels comfortable for both of you. Good luck!
