Teachers love to hear from students, especially those they have taught in the past.  It makes their job more rewarding!  As a teacher, I love getting e-mails from students telling me how they are doing, where they are at, and all that jazz.  \nYou can always write them a letter and send pictures (they would love to add a new pic on their bulletin!).  I always liked going to visit my former teachers at school when I was in town .  I even e-mail (IM too!) back and forth with a few former teachers!  I can tell you that teachers have had a huge impact on my life, and of course the reason why I chose the profession.  And I know they don't get tired of hearing that.  It would definitely make their day!

The only dating I have done as an adult has been from on here.  I usually kind of know the person, have talked on the phone and online for quite awhile before we meet.  I have usually dreamed about the meeting for some time.  I tend to live a bit in a fantasy world.  I think about will we have as much fun together laughing, will he see me and think that I am not what he expected, etc.  I don't worry about how I will see the other person because I have already formed an emotionally satisfying bond from talking for awhile.

You either think about them quite a bit during the day, you already have a relationship with them...\n\nor you barely know them but would like to "get to know them better."\n\nBasically.

Ooops! If it closed then you lost them. Now is the time to start making new friends. When you do, make a hard copy of their addresses this time so you will not loose them also. If you know your friends other than just in cyberspace, just ask for the addresses again. Good Luck!

i had one guy actually say to me, "so you like me right?" and i was absolutely stunned. I DID, but it was just very awkward. see if you cant spend some time with her one on one and get a better feel for her.

Make it a point to be more interested, genuinely interested in the people around you!  Focus on who they are, what they are saying, with no background noice or thoughts from your head.  Stop worrying about what they think, because as long as they're talking about themselves, they wont be thinking about you!  And once they've invested things about themselves into you, they'll naturally feel closer to you, and like you!  Then, hopefully you will feel comfortable enough to share something relevant as well, otherwise, they we'll feel foolish for opening up to you and withdrawl!  This is how intimacy is formed.  Since you are shy, take the receptive role first, and then the giving role.  Try it!  Remember, Ask and open ended question, such as, "Where are you from?"  ..." oh, how is it there, I've never been?"  keep them talking about themselves until you feel comfortable enough to enterject something about yourself!  Remember to listen to what they are saying, not your self concious voice in your head!! Focus!  Good luck! ;)

As a matter of fact, I have the same problem. But I don't really mind as those people aren't even my type, so i just regard them as not even worth it. I don't know if that helps for you though. You sound terribly shy and lonely, so perhaps you should socialise more and if you do see someone you like, make the first move.\n\nBut don't try too hard though, I know this girl who was really desparate for friends, so much that it showed and she was ostracised by her classmates (who were a really mean bunch to begin with).\n\nDon't look for online friends, it's only a way to meet perverts who prey on lonely young people, and even if they aren't, no on e is sincere about online relationships because on the internet, you're just an avatar.\n\nTo be honest, if you haven't got friends, you cannot do very much about it. I suggest you just find another hobby for yourself to take up your time and sit out this awkward period in your life.

Hey!  That's just like me a couple of years ago!  Really, this past year I've become so much more open.  I think it's because I've made some new friends.  They are good friends, the kind that you don't have to feel self-concious around and you just have to be yourself, and they'll love you.  That's them all right.  I've gotten really close with them because I've realized a few things...\n\n1)  They don't care what I look like, only what I act like.\n2)  They care about me when I'm upset and will always be there to make me feel better.\n3)  They really can relate to what I'm going through, and if they can't, they'll try their best and listen anyway.\n4)  They do not think I'm too stupid or too smart.  They don't care what grades I have, only that I am a good person and always try to do the right thing.\n\nI'll never understand how I really did it, but I just began talking more... saying what was on my mind really.  I think it basically started whenever I had a few crisis in my life that I just couldn't get through on my own.  I needed them.  They knew this and were determined to get me through everything and make it out on the other side in one piece.\n\nI would advise you to just speak up.  Say hi to a stranger.  If you are in a group/club at school, talk to the people there.  You will most likely feel really stupid at first, but you'll realize that people are more open to new friends than you think.

So the power of suggestion works on you?\n\nYou never noticed this friend until this other person suggested it, honey, I say leave it alone and look into broadening your horizons a bit more -- have you thought whether it's worth losing this friendship if the romance doesn't fly?  Seriously, consider other options -- like picking the one you would like to hang with, not because someone tells you to.

I would say you could just speak to them. Who knows they might even speak back. If you're feeling brave you could try starting a conversation,but don't flirt or try to get their number right off the bat. Try to develop a friendship. Hope this helps:-D

Just hang out and be patient. When you see them again it will that much more fun to see them.

Well, I think it's probably the small child in them that craves attention- OF ANY KIND!!! They probably lead very shallow, boring lives- not many friends- etc... You know, somepeople will also just do or say ANYTHING to get a rise out of peole, too. The enjoy the shock factor- in some sick kind of way - they think they have had an impact on, or altered other's lives: they love it that you will be thinking of them - probably for several days to come! It's just all about them.Try not to let it get to you- don't respond at all- it's what they want- AND, it allows them to win!!! :)

You know what... just sit down with them and ask them how the evening out was... and just be interested in what they have been up to... not to find out what rules they have broken... but to understand what they actually like... trust me, in most cases they would have been up to harmless fun and talking to you will make them comfortable... next time they will tell you where they are going... the trick is to evolve into a frined when children grow up... hope this helps!

Yes...and I have, but not usually with strangers.  But I think you could get away with it. If you said a big "HI!", and wrapped people up in your arms they would probably hesitate trying to figure out if they know you.  Then you could say, "You don't know me, but I thought one of us could use a hug!"  But I'm stuck after that. I'm more of a long term relationship person.  I think I would want to invite them somewhere to talk and get to know each other. Random hugs probably wouldn't do it for me. Maybe just a nonreligious/nonpolitical social club would work: The Hug Club!

She was gone and you found a new group to socialize with. I am sure everyone at school was like "wuz up with her skippin' school"? right? So maybe you judged her as well but now things are too weird between ya'll because of your new friends. Ya'll need to talk you can work this out if you truely miss her. Call her up and just start chatting. Before you now it things will work themselves out and ya'll will be hangin' out again.

I just helped a friend with this actually. Two simple pointers:\n\nBe mysterious: This doesn't mean be so vague it's annoying, it just means don't leave yourself completely open to everyone. Be outgoing, but don't give away your life story. If you pull it off correctly, it makes it look like there's a lot more to you than there really is.\n\nListen: Become their friend, ask them how there day was, and pay attention. Don't interject with your own stories too often. (If you do, make it brief to show you empathise, but don't try to out-do them.)\n\nAnd for anything else, I would recommend the dating game articles on outpostnine.
