Hmm.. What kind of advice can I give? Any kind you'd like. Advice on relationships (all types) Getting out of trouble(my specialty) Sarcasim is always fun.
Giving advice is something I do best, I'll awnser any question you'd like, unless they're stupid and extremely pointless ones.
About me?- I like playing basketball, I'm still in Highschool, doing things that will get me in trouble, but always being good enough to get out of it.
My friends mean the world to me, without them I don't know what'd I do.
I could go on, but I don't think I will.
Anyways, if you do ask me questions, try to hold back on tYpInG lyK diZ N sTuFf alright. Other than that Anything you want to know I'll do my best to help with :)
advice
okay... I'm a fourteen year-old female in my freshman year of high school. I'm also an advicenator, but I suck at giving good rational advice to myself. Now here's the problem: I have trouble talking on the phone, even with friends, but especially with guys I like. I have lots of self confidence and I'm really talkative online and in person... but the phone? I will admit that since I've moved I've become more shy, but I've always had this phone issue. I know that often in conversations I use things around me and improvise... so it's harder on the phone. What should I talk about? Why am I *nervous*? Any advice at all would be much appreciated because I have no clue how to not to be like this and I know this guy is going to call my sometime... I'll rate or comment if you want... thanks!
I go through the EXACT SAME THING. I'm not really as nervous talking on the fone to my friends, but when I'm talking to a guy I like, I get so nervous that there's going to be one of those akward "silent moments" that there ends up being a bunch. On the computer and in person it's no big deal to me what-so-ever. I think it's just becuase you're talking to someone you really like, you don't want to say something stupid. You might not ever get over your fear of talking on the phone with someone you like, I probably won't either. But overtime it gets better, and pray that he's a conversationist. Thinking of things to talk about like a good subject that you could go talking about forever is good. Also, try not to be distracted by other things, it makes it completly harder. and don't forget that most of the time he's probably feeling the same way.
(Rating: 5) thanks for your advice... :) he called me yesterday and there did end up being a couple awkward silences but... it's all good.
