    Hey, i know this is cliche and has been asked a couple of times, but listen up :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    So, today we (the school SRC(Student Representive Council)) were running a saussage sizzle and the canteen at the athletics carnival. Usually only SRC members come in and help out, but this time one of the other SRC members friend came in and helped out. His name was Josh (wow, just like me), he is in year 10 (year below me) and he is gay (wow, just like me) and pretty cute (wow, just like me XD)

    Anyway, it turns out that i fancy him quite much, but i dont really know how to get to know him or whatever. I am rather... not good at socialisation and stuff like that for new people/people i want to get in bed with, so i dont know how that would go.

    Also, the fact that he is in another grade and another clique and i hadnt really seen him until today kind of makes the whole situation harder.

    So, what can i do? I would like to at least get to know him better...

    There are two rules for conversation.

    1. Find common ground.
    2. Start talking (and asking questions) based on the that common ground.

    What's your common ground with Josh? He goes to your school, you both know this other SRC guy (Bob), and he helped out with your...sausage sizzle. (I have no idea what that is, but it sounds either fun or painful.) So when you see him again, use that common ground.

    "Hey, Josh. Just wanted to thank you again for your help at the sausage sizzle. That was cool of you to help out."
    "I'm glad Bob got you to come. Bob's always good at making things go smooth."
    "You're in year 10, right? Who's your math teacher?...I didn't have him, I had X. But I hear he's pretty tough."

    ...see how that works? :slight_smile:

    What lexy said :wink:

    You can talk about teachers, the news, the weather (actually a great topic, don't underestimate it!), and common interests and passions you already know about. You're both gay, talk about your coming outs for example.

    Thanks guys, the whole 'thanks for helping out thing' is actually quite good.

    And by the way, a sausage sizzle is like a BBQ. We cook sausages and put them on a bit of bread and sell them for $1.50 each :slight_smile:
