I know this is probably a besharam topic, but still.
I should probably fill you in on some details. The boy goes to my school. He’s 1 year younger. Punjabi. (yeah, yeah - laugh all you want - life is full of ironies). A total nerd. Kinda awkward in the way he acts. Shy. I think he’s mildly conservative. I’ve talked to him a couple of times, but I don’t know if he gets my message.
Don't know if they're "tricks," but I would definitely be open and friendly unless he seems uninterested in keeping up the acquaintance. Honestly, I would probably also make sure I look pretty when I know I'm going to see him, but I am shocked that I would consider doing such a thing and cannot encourage such behavior :p
Anyway, just keep doing what you're doing. Find out if you have the same interests or world view or whatever. Get to know him better. And (I assume you wouldn't do this anyway, but I will state it just in case) don't pretend to be interested in things that you're not. Do you have friends in common that might be able to guage the likelihood of anything happening?
You gotta send the poor ******* some signals. Laugh at his dumb jokes, whatever you gotta do to make him feel at ease. Lot can be accomplished without saying it directly to the other party.
I think we need more men in this thread to tell us what worked on them. Can we stop laughing at the dumb jokes once we have bagged the guy or does it carry on? Poor Mrs. GJ
This is what you do. Instead of trying to impress him, be yourself. No need to go on shopping sprees and buy new clothes, or start wearing a mask of make up, just be yourself. Show interest but in doing that you shouldn't change who you are. Just so later on when your true side comes out, hes not shocked and scared away.
Just make an effort to talk to him, thats it..eventually you will figure out whether he is clueless or giving you the cold shoulder. I have been in both situations i.e. I am clueless that someones is interested..as well as someone is interested and I just give her the cold shoulder because she has not stated that she likes me so its not my place to tell her that I am not interested..sadly she took that stand offish attitude as shyness.
Oh PyariCgudia if you are really interested, please please do make the first move or at least somehow do let him know that you are interested. Otherwise regret for ever. Girls often don't do it as they are afraid of rejection.

Just want to get this straight. So in AAALL instances where the girl makes the first move, you think she is forcing the guy to like her? Couldn't it work the other way around - if the guy makes the first move, he might also be making the girl like him, when perhaps she wouldn't have liked him in the first place to begin with if he hadn't made the first move.
