Im afraid to talk to a boy that I like because of nerves or something, like im afraid of messing up or embarresing myself. Even when we were going out I was afraid to talk to him in person. I would only talk to him on the phone because he is usually with his friends, and I easily get shy. He usually has a lot of girls around him because everyone thinks he is so hot and amazing. I need help with this... How do I get over my fear and go talk to him without it being through a friend or something?

Just remind yourself of things that you talked about on the phone and bring them up again. It should be easier to talk about things that both of you can relate to. Once you start getting a few good conversations going in a row and you both feel comfortable around eachother, ask him to go somewhere with you one on one. Just boost your self confidence and think of more things to say to him. [ sp4rklingr4in's advice column | Ask sp4rklingr4in A Question ]

The only time I didn't, actually, was when I met my current boyfriend. He started talking to me, so it was hard for me to not talk to him. The only thing to do is to know that if he likes you, he'll have to like you for who you are, and not who you pretend to be. So don't worry about acting cool, etc. Just be you. I mean, it's okay to be a little klutzy, lol. God knows I am. I can't even count how many times I've tripped while walking with my guy...lol.
As for not wanting to talk to him when he's around his posse, talk to him while he's alone. If he's really never alone, just open your mouth. Good luck!
