AOL chat speak makes Shakespeare cry. :redface2:
Please, you're not in a race to post. It's much kinder to your fellow posters to take the extra .03 seconds to type out the whole word, and extra letters do not cost more.
Man, I would kill someone in front of their own momma if he typed "skwl" instead of "school" in front of me. My wife (head of a high school English department) would probably go right to the source and purge the dude's whole family line for the Earth, just to be sure.
Anyway, enough of my bitching about terrible, lazy grammar. You've got a girl problem. And at the heart of your girl problem, I think, is a courage problem. You seem afraid to approach the girl and let your interest be know to her. The problem is, if you don't nothing will happen and the whole thing will slip away. You'll be left never knowing if you had a chance with her.
So, don't talk on IM. That's impersonal, and frequently people get irritated when people they barely know start messaging them out of the blue with no real purpose to the conversation.
Try talking to her more often in real life. See how you do. If she doesn't shut you down, she probably doesn't think you're scum. That's a good thing. After that, try talking to her about stuff going on in her life (If she's in a sport, ask how the season is going for her or something like that). If she still doesn't shut you down, and smiles once in a while when talking to you, you might have a shot.
