I am not popular and I like one of the most popular guys in my grade what do I do?

There are several things to take in account here.

a) Few guys value popularity as a thing to look for in girls. What's important is how interesting you are. And eventually your looks, but those are actually not yours to judge (not yet anyway). Also, you may not be as unpopular as you think.

b) Most girls like the most popular guy, so you're not alone on that turf. You can start getting to know him better, to gain some ground. If you stay idle, it's likely that someone gets to him before you do.

c) Check your feelings and your intentions. Grades and school don't pass quickly, but they're over eventually. And there are always other interesting, likeable people who haven't come to your attention, yet.

Whatever you do, don't expect him to jump at you and tell you he's always been interested in only you. Also, don't try to be blunt. Popular kids tend to react rude if you confront them.

Opinions by other contributors:

• What you should do is maybe try to speak to him more and get to know him. Maybe it's just his looks and popularity that got you interested in him and in that case move on or look inside him if he's really the guy you want to be with. And the #1 rule is the not be shy! Guys hate it when girls are shy! Let yourself go and you will know if you guys are meant for each other.
