Hi there, I'm a 15 year old girl falling for a guy... I met him over the summer on the Internet (we go to the same school but never met before) and I fell for him fast. He's basically all I could ever ask for in a guy. We talk constantly all the time on the Internet, but at school he is very shy around me. I'm not a very shy person, so I try to talk to him as much as possible. On the Internet, we talk like we're best friends. But at school he acts sort of mean to me (I think he is just kidding and just tries to act 'cool' in front of his friends :P) But yeah, I can tell that he never really means it to act that way around me because he always glances at me and smiles :) Is this a sign that he could like me? Please help!!! Thanks so much

mikeyblue81 answered Wednesday October 20 2004, 1:03 am: Yeah, I'm sure he likes you. He just doesn't know how to be comfortable with himself while being with you around his friends. This is an issue, but mainly for him. If he can't get over it (and it's NOT gonna be a quick change, mind you), but you like him still... remove him from the situation. Go to the mall or the movies or whatever and get him more comfortable being around you, but without his friends. Keep talking with him on the net. Get him comfortable with the idea that at least he has a girl that likes him (unlike his loser friends... (well... don't call them loser friends to his face :p) ... otherwise they would have girls hanging around with them too, right?). Anyway, just remember, if it doesn't work out, it's not the end of the world.
--As an afterthought: maybe he's just not that used to you being around him. You may want to take a small step back and approach him less often. Change affects people in different ways, and may just be him not knowing how to deal with all the attention. Give him a little space, and he'll probably come around ;)
Good luck! [ mikeyblue81's advice column | Ask mikeyblue81 A Question ]

Okay, I have plenty of experiance with the internet. Guys DO act differently in front of their friends, but if he's worth anything you should be able to just simply ask him why yall never talk at school or something.
Kinda calmly complain to him that you're completely different at school. He'll probably end up giving you a lame excuse.. perhaps "Im Busy" "We dont have classes together" or "My friends blah blah"
if you REALLY like this guy (And DO NOT fall too quickly! I know from experiance fallin too fast on the net never ends up good), then just casually talk to him via net.
If you dont like that idea.. at school go up to him and pull him aside or somethin.

Make sure he knows that he hurts your feelings when he's mean. Good luck! [ jazz82289's advice column | Ask jazz82289 A Question ]
