i've never had a boyfriend, but everytime someone likes me and i feel like they are leading towards asking me out or anything i get really nervous and uncomfortable and i just wish i was out of the situation...i'm hoping it's just because i haven't really liked any of them, but is this normal??

I'm the exact same way. I tend to think it's a fear of not being in control. You trick yourself into thinking that if you go out with someone, you might lose control of your life and stop doing things you love, etc. But the truth is, you really are in control of your life- you can break it off whenever you want to. Inexperience is kind of overwhelming when the media makes it seem like everyone is dating at all times. They aren't. The world does not revolve around it and if you ask around, the people you thought were always dating either haven't or aren't/haven't dated in a long time. It seems like a big deal, but really it isn't. Have some confidence in yourself and be willing to take a risk...*reads pep-talk back to self* [ Fish's advice column | Ask Fish A Question ]

selectopaque answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 3:44 am: It's completely normal. It might not be so much that you haven't found anyone you really like, but it's that you haven't found anyone your really comfortable with.
I've always been really shy, but once you get past that first boyfriend you'll feel better and more confident with yourself. It's really just a matter of time. You have to learn to be confident and eventually you wont be nervous. Instead of worrying about making them like you, think about what they need to do to make you like them. Go through life thinking that they already like you, and they're the ones that should worry and be nervous! [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]

Everyone needs to take chances in life.
Lizzy answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 1:48 am: Well, it probably means you are still not over something. Sometimes it's a boyfriend, sometimes it's watching relationships go down the drain, but you need to get over whatever it is that's scaring you. Try to think back, do your parents fight a lot, have one of your friends gotten hurt, have you gotten hurt? Think about this and tell someone, get it off your chest. If you have nemore q's, you can IM or email me the continuous question, it's on my page. Good Luck
