how to start?

[rasha]

First off, i have been single all my life, and im looking to change that, and second, i just dont know how to begin. everyone is like "oh just be yourself and you will find the right girl!" but thats just the problem. im a passive person, and i dont know how to change that. facebook chats and flirting is all good and well but in the end, you need to man up and talk to that girl. thats just the problem. i feel as if it will be really awkward if i just get up and move during study hall to her table.
P.S. im that kid everyone loves making rumors about, its actually quite annoying and really gets to me when they say im going out with a girl secretly that i dont even talk too. (as you can probably guess, trying to find a girlfriend/flirting while supposedly "having a secret girlfriend" doesnt really blow over too well.

its hard to build up the gut to talkto anyone i kno wi cant talk to guys i liek so there nothgin wrong wtih being scared just give your self tima instead of jsut goign right up to the girl try leaving hints or somethign. and about the rumors ppl spread you shouldnt worry btou them and if th egirl askes explane to her the truth . oh an di knwo how you feel im going through high school with eevryone thinking im prego wich they all will find out im not in about 4 months you just have to ignor them and fight them dont let the rummors rule oyur life

What I would do (to make sure you're not imposing yourself on anyone) is try to make everything seem like coincidences or circumstance. For example, if you know the girl sits at a particular spot, sit near and pretend to lose your pencil. Ask her for one and bam! you've gained access to at least a small conversation with her!

Afterwards, you can say hi or whatnot and be nice to her. The hard part comes afterwards when you ask her out.

As for the rumours, stand up for yourself and talk to the people making the rumours. This doesn't have to be violent or loud, just let them know you're not appreciating it. Be very serious and don't make yourself look like a pushover. If done well, the people will feel intimidated enough to back off. If the girl you ask out is curious about this, simply let her know it's not true and that it was a rumour. Hopefully she understands! Hope this helped!

the problem is we have assigned seats until attendance is over, then we can move. So i dont want to just go over and sit down with her and her friends

Talk to anyone you want, screw all the people that are "making rumors." Let people make up their minds about you after they meet you. If one girl doesn't like you, move to the next one. Assert yourself and take what you want. You won't get points by sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You see a hot girl, go up and talk. Flirt, touch her arm, get her smiling, make a fool of yourself... IT DOESN'T MATTER. Just have fun with it and don't put so much pressure on yourself.

Yeah if people are saying rumours just let them know it's not true whenever anyone brings it up. If you tell anyone that yeah you do have a "secret girlfriend" that's probably going to find it's way to a girl somehow and that girl COULD be one you want to get to know better.

As for talking/confidence etc. if you have a really good friend that is a girl you can always ask her for tips cause yaknow, she's a girl. If not perhaps read up on body language and stuff. That's a great start, because body language can tell you instantly if you have a shot or not with a girl. It's not 100% accurate of course, humans are incredibly complex, but it's a solid foundation on which to build your own confidence which only you can build up to be honest.
