I've heard that he hung out with this girl but shes not very pretty (or skinny, just saying) I also heard he asked my friend out on a date but shes not very pretty either. Im not saying im pretty cause thats sort of conceeded but I feel as if I may look better somewhat, i know thats an awful thing to say. But I'm also kind of quiet and shy when it comes to cute boys. I was told to stare at him anad smile some whenever i see him and i did and one time we made eye contact but i dont feel its enough to get his attention. I really like this boy. How do i get noticed by him. I would love to start off as friends and geet to know him better, i just dont know how to do that...What do i do?

I'm probably one of those "quiet and shy" boys.
In the last couple months of High School, a girl let it be known through some girlfriends of hers, who happened to be in my classes, that she was interested in me. They made arrangements and invited me to share group activities - school and church events - with them so I could become more comfortable, and start having conversations with this girl. They made it seem fairly normal and natural, which it was. We loved each other and dated for about 6 months.
About 4 years later I hadn't really dated anyone much less had a girlfriend, through all of college. Friends occasionally set me up, or invited me to join them for various events or activities, to make the M/F ratio even so I won't say that I was totally "dateless". I happened to mention my disappointment to a much older friend - actually, the mother of some of my High School friends. About a month later, she gave me the address of her niece, and suggested I write, compare college experiences, future plans, etc. I did - the letters got to be every 2 or 3 days - they became progressively more serious. After 3 months we finally met face-to-face and had a date. In retrospect, writing to each other was a great way for two quiet-and-shy people to get acquainted and fall in love - though her aunt had recognized the compatibility of our personalities. One year plus two weeks after we first saw each other, we were married - and still are, almost 38 years later.
I don't know if those comments are helpful or not, but they give you ideas to consider.
