I need some advice. I had a crush on this girl in 7th grade, and I still like her. I feel like she might like me too, but we don’t have any classes together this year. She’s usually surrounded by her friends, and I think asking for her number would be really awkward. I rarely see her alone and haven’t had any chances to connect. How can I ask for her number without having to deal with those awkward moments?
My friends decided to send the Bee Movie script to everyone in our district! Just to give you some background, I’m in 8th grade and I shared the script with five friends through our school email, jokingly telling them to “send this to everyone you know.” After a few hours, two of my “brilliant” friends […]

It can definitely be tricky to navigate crushes, especially when you don’t have classes together. Here are a few suggestions to help you get her number without feeling too awkward:
Leverage Mutual Friends: If you have friends in common, consider talking to them. They might be able to help you out by mentioning that you’d like to connect with her or even ask her about sharing numbers.
Social Media: If you’re connected with her on social media platforms, this can be a great way to start. You could message her casually about something school-related, and then ask for her number to chat more easily.
Group Hangouts: If you know she’s going to be hanging out with a group (maybe after school or on the weekend), try to join in on that. It’s a more relaxed environment where you can talk to her without it feeling forced. You can naturally bring up exchanging numbers in a group setting.
Casual Approach: If you do get a chance to talk to her, try to keep it light and casual. You can say something like, “Hey, we should text sometime! What’s your number?” Keeping it casual can make it feel less awkward.
Be Direct but Friendly: If the opportunity arises when you talk to her, be straightforward. You can say something like, “I think you’re really nice and would love to chat more—can I get your number?”
Remember, it’s totally normal to feel nervous about this. Just be yourself, and good luck!
