Then I think your problem is being humiliated in front of a group.

Fear of rejection, actually. You're afraid that you'll get turned down.
Being rejected is possible, but here's a hint: approach her again. If she sees you walk away from an "I'm kinda busy right now" she'll just think you have no determination to reach a goal in life. Even if you get waved off, try and try again. As long as you don't become her shadow and nag her day in and day out, it will work.

I think you guys are giving the wrong advice. From my perspective his problem is not that he wants this girl and is in bad shape over it. His problem is that he is depressed as hell and hanging all his hopes and dreams on this girl he likes but has never approached. Fix the depression first, then go for the girl.

So dashing looks really is all there is to it?

She is a fairly nice person...

How can you tell, if you never talked to her?
If she really is, then there shouldn't be a problem.
And if not, at least you can stop glorifying her and get on with your life.

I concur with this.

You can not be a good partner to someone else, or even be good company to someone else, unless you can happily be with yourself.  Basic self-worth required.
It is a bit cliché, but true.


Have you considered some community service?
Volunteering at a soup kitchen (and elsewhere) did wonders for me in my senior year of hellschool er, highschool.
I felt like there was no point to anything, that no one could ever possibly want to be with me, that nothing I did mattered in the world, that I didn't matter.
Then, after a while there, what I was doing did matter.  Just a little.  Made the world a slightly better place.
Bringing a small light to bleakness made my own world brighter.

It's hard to get motivated, hard to get started, hard to see it as worthwhile, hard to care.
So just get up and F'ing do it.

Community service might work for some people by bringing a grander-than-self altruistic purpose/meaning to their life, but personally, I have a feeling you actually need more of a pure Ego boost.

If you really think your social 'position' is the cause of your inability to approach her, lets see: Bottom of the social ladder? So fucking what, who even decided on such a ladder? I seriously doubt your peers posted a ranked list of who's on top and who's at the bottom on the school's bulletin boards or some such, so this "bottom of the social ladder" thing is wholly based on YOUR whole perception of a "social ladder". If your peers ignore you, its because you aren't actually trying to show yourself to them, you are actively trying to hide yourself, most probably to, as mentioned above, avoid any possible rejections by your peers/crush. To avoid being hurt.

Well, lets go on to analyze why you'd be afraid of being 'hurt'. Even if you are rejected, mocked, and then ignored by peers, what would you have lost? This is high school. Would you lose a hard-earned reputation? Your ability to join a good college? Your chance to have a decent job and life in the future? "Street-rep"? What? There is nothing your peers can possibly do to inflict lasting harm on you. Or any actual, non-imagined harm. They have a problem with you? This dislike you? Fuck them, why the hell would YOU care about what such people think about you? And this also applies to your 'love': Ask her. Talk to her. If she rejects your best attempts, then she never was meant for you ANYWAYS. If she accepts them, good for you. The only way you can screw this up is doing NOTHING and thus perpetuating your self-deprecation, perpetuating the perception your peers have of you, AND being guaranteed of not getting the girl.

I honestly can not give you precise steps to follow to get the girl, but none on this forum can, simply because WE ARE NOT YOU. We do not know the exact situation, your exact likes and dislikes, and the girl's exact likes and dislikes (and if you truly 'love' her that much, YOU better now her likes and dislikes). What I can do is assure you that, once you develop some proper egoistical self-appreciation, it will all just "come with the flow". You'll be able to care properly about YOURSELF, and thus be able to set some proper goals for YOUR life, disregarding others. And I guarantee you, unless the girl is sadistic, she's far more likely to accept a confident and independent person that obviously knows what he is doing and where he is going, than some person fawning over her uncontrollably and seemingly existing solely to worship the dirt she walks on. Plus, that way you'd have, you know, somewhere to go to in life whether she ends up rejecting you or not. What's the point if she DOES accept you and then a few months later she graduates and you have absolutely nothing to look forward to in life? Do you really think you'd get to keep seeing her then, even from afar?

So pick up your act and FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF. You are you, you are awesome, fuck those who say otherwise.



Yes, I get very angry at self-loathing people, especially in the middle of the night.

You want advice on what to do in regards to this girl?

Forget about her.

Yeah, yeah, I know you'll think and say that it's impossible, that she's the only one for you, all the standard stuff. I can tell you it isn't true, never has been, and never will be. I can tell you this because I've experienced what you've experianced several times, and from that experience I have gotten to the point where I can consciously identify my infatuations as being such and push them out of my mind untill they go away. You can learn to do the same with relative ease, and then your infatuations will never be a problem for you again.

All you have to do is to try and not think about her for, say, twenty or so days, and the infatuation will die off. You don't even have to particularly succeed at not thinking about her, trying will be enough to get the idea across to your neurochemicals. That's the hardest part. Afterwards, she'll be nothing to you but another face in the crowd unless the infatuation pops up again.

I ask you to trust me on this because the kind of things you are saying are very familiar to me, but ultimately it's up to you to take or reject the advice you're being offered.

You keep saying you are in love with her, but that word means jack shit. Really describe how you feel. Is she just very hot and catches your attention? Have you actually talked to her enough to have experienced who she even is? Does she really give you any reason for liking her? Believe it or not, but the Hollywood "I get married to the first hot chick I stalk" stuff ends up in restraining orders.

The whole point of threads versus IM's or face-chat is the ability for delayed correspondence.

You want to ruin your life, for someone who might not even like you. Love is best ignored when it makes you suffer.
