You see, I have to go over my friend's house everyday, because my mom has to work overtime. My friend has this other friend who is a guy that lives across the street. I really like this guy so much. But the problem is that I don't that he likes me. My friend and him always jump over a fence to go to a ditch on the other side. And when I was with them, I did too, but I was really slow. I feel really "girly" around him, and I don't think he likes me--not even as a friend. What should I do? I like him a lot, but I don't enjoy the things he does and if I ask him out, I am AFRAID of rejection.
Mousetower answered Tuesday October 26 2004, 10:25 am: Being afraid of rejection is horrible. It's actually much worse than being rejected (I was there once). Talk to him and see ehat happens. At the very worst, you'll feel terrible for a couple of days, but you feel terrible now, so what do you have to lose? [ Mousetower's advice column | Ask Mousetower A Question ]

Read your post, you know you should just forget about him. Also, talk to your friend about it and maybe have her ask him if he really dislikes you as a friend even.
You'll be fine, there are more boys out there.

What you have to remember to do is to laugh at yourself. In doing so, it will in essence show that you are comfortable with yourself enough to make it a point to show your imperfections. No one is perfect. Try to talk to him at least, don't be so shy. Talk to him about sports, movies, school... that kind of stuff. When I met my boyfriend, we had like nothing in common. He played soccer, he skate boards he likes baseball... all things I hated to do. I started watching a game of soccer and baseball and I got really into it. I went to the skate park with him and watched him skate for a while and found it quite intresting. You have to try to expand your hobbies. Also, about the rejection part of it, rejection is part of life. No one likes to be rejected in any way. Whether it's with a boy/girl you like, not getting into the college you want or getting turned down by a job you really wanted. It's just part of life. At our age, we are all afraid of rejection and getting hurt like that. Just try to talk to him some more and open up about things. Even talking about your likes and dislikes can help. Try to smile too when you're around him. Not one of those cheesey HUGE smiles but just a little smirk. Guys love a nice smile. Good luck and I hope this helped.
