Dear Queenie,
I just started high school this year and there’s this girl I like and I want to get to know her but I never know what to say to her.
Queenie, how do I get started?—Tongue-tied
Dear Tongue-tied,
Start a conversation with her the way you would with any stranger – “Hi, how are you?” Then ask her about something of mutual interest, like your schoolwork. Does she find the homework load too heavy? How does she like this class or that one? Is she interested in sports? Which one(s)?
Once you get to know her a little bit, you will have some idea what to say to her.
