They never seem to work out for whatever reason.I like a sr. guy Andrew. He is very attractive. He's on the baseball team. He is in one of my classes and we sit near eachother. He recently broke up with his girlfriend. I've liked him for a while but surpressed my feelings because he was going out with a girl who didn't go to our school.Does anyone have any tips for me? I really like him, he's funny, makes me smile, is athletic and nice.Thanks.

Well unless he tells you or really makes it obvious that he does, you probably won't know he likes you. Going to his game and going out to eat after as I mentioned before is a good idea and doesn't have to mean a date. Of course for you you would like it to be. But what I mean is it's not like throwing it out there that you like him, it could be a friendly hang out. If you both have fun you should do it more often, maybe say, "we should do this again sometime." No doubt if he doesn't like you right now this is a good way to get him to. Just keep talking to him, maybe even flirting a bit. If that isn't your style then just wait for him to let you know or flirt with you. If you get the courage and he still hasn't let you know his feelings, you can ask him yourself. Good luck !

The whole problem with this is that you won't know if he likes you until you try. But you don't have to be too obvious about it... when I was your age, there was this whole grapevine thing. You could tell the girl you knew was a big gossip something, and it would be all over the school by the end of the day. It's risky though, because the gossip could get out of control by the next day!
So, the gossip thing is out.
You're going to have to put yourself in his path a little, not too obviously, but try to attend his games, and if you have a practice with his team at the same time, you could look over from time to time and make eye contact with him. The eye contact not being like staring, but more like making a cute face if you've just dropped your catch...
Can you get a couple of friends to come with you to a baseball game and cheer on the boys team?
I know, it's hard and tricky to figure out if he might like you too. The thing is to catch his attention without being sooo obvious but still give him the chance to try to chase you...
I'd stick with being in his path, and making nice, shy, cute eye contact for a bit...
Hope this helps; and good luck with your own softball games!

How do I know if he likes me back before I ask him to hangout?
I really like the after game idea. I don't have school this week so I won't see him until next week. Unless we have practice at the same time.
Thanks.

Tisha's idea was cute. Also you could go to one of his games and cheer him on, or ask him to come to one of your games. Maybe afterwards go out to eat to celebrate or if you lose, to make you feel better :) Make sure you let him know you are interested but not to come on too strong. And I'm not sure how long he and his ex dated but if they just broke up you may want to give him a little time so as not to be the rebound girl. Good luck !

He sounds really nice! Why not ask him for some help with your catching and throwing a softball? A very simple question, and it gives him a chance to show off his baseball skills.
