Dear Miss Molly,
I’m a freshman girl at Fairfield, and coming from an all girls school, the last time I interacted with a boy was 5th grade kickball. There’s this boy in my English class that I can’t stop thinking about, but I don’t know how to approach him without creeping him out. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Hopelessly Lovestruck

Dear Hopelessly Lovestruck,
I feel your pain, as I also went to an all girls school for most of my life. But don’t worry, there are a few simple steps you can take to get comfortable talking to the opposite sex again. The golden rule to any good lasting relationship is to be you. Boys are very simple creatures, and they can pick up right away when a girl is trying too hard or not being genuine. If he doesn’t like you for who you are, you don’t want to be with him anyway. Second, all good relationships grow out of friendships, not from a 2 a.m. make out session.
My advice to you is to be confident and talk to your crush just like he’s anybody else. See if you can scoot your seat closer to him in class and strike up a conversation. Ask him if he understands the readings or if he wants to study together, or maybe get Barone after class. But don’t play dumb and act like you’re failing the class, girls. Playing dumb can be a major turn-off to guys. After spending a little time together, the two of you will either hit it off, or maybe not. Who knows, you may find out he’s a total bore. But, don’t dismay, there’s always Spanish class.
