well i am a male and i am 15 i have a problem with my love life.... I am a tennis player and this 1 girl i was playing with i sorta like. I never talked too her... she seems nice... and she is pretty.. im sort of a shy guy though when it comes to me talking to a girl. I dont know y though. I am afraid of rejection. that is a maid reason i am afraid to talk to her. How do I get over my fear and work up the courage to talk to her?
jcpennypanties answered Thursday March 17 2005, 5:03 pm: Oppurtunities arent lost, their taken, if she is really pretty you better hurry someone else will decided their interested in her and might get to her before you do. Just dont be scared, rejection is part of life, and it happens to everyone, try it,you never know what will happen.Goodluck. [ jcpennypanties's advice column | Ask jcpennypanties A Question ]
4Gotten answered Thursday March 17 2005, 4:00 am: ok rejection is horrible, but what is worse getting rejected and making a good friend or never make a move and never get the chance, i know how you feel i am a guy and its the worst to get rejected but just dont start up with "i want to go out with you" just get to know her and most of all DONT GET NERVOUS if u get nervous you will trip and sound retarted one way is to think about the joke your going to say before you say it because if she doesnt think its funny you will revert to our manly instinct and begin to try to explain it in a wierd way that doesnt make sense and that will quickly make you "annoying" sorry if that wasnt to helpful. good luck [ 4Gotten's advice column | Ask 4Gotten A Question ]
some_girl answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 10:55 pm: Haha I'm the same way with guys. What I find works is you think up something really random to ask her, like I dunno, where the bathroom is, or where the vending machine is. Do that a couple of times, but make sure you dont ask the same thing twice then she'll think your an idiot. Eventually, ask her about tennis, it's a common intrest you already know. If the conversation flows keep going, if it doesn't, try again, or try something else
SugaHigh answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 9:54 pm: There are millions of us gals out there. Just realize that if one doesnt like you, someone else out there is better for you.
Get to know her, or have someone talk to her for you. Its better to talk to her yourself though. If you were playing with her, you probably get along at least a little bit. If you get choked up compliment her tennis skills, its an obvious thing you have in common. And its an awesome ice breaker
karenR answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 9:46 pm: She isn't going to have a clue you like her unless you say something! Start out with just a hi. Don't have to have a long conversation.
I know you are afraid of rejection but if you start small and work your way up to talking a little longer you should get a good idea if she will go out with you or not. If you aren't sure ask her anyway.The worse thing she can do is say no.
Little_Miss_Cant_Be_Wrong answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 9:10 pm: Come up with an opening line (NOT a cheesy pickup line) that you feel confident and comfortable approaching her with. You already have something in common, tennis, so maybe ask her something about tennis. Try something like, 'Hey, I noticed you have a really good (insert something tennis-related here)...would you help me out with mine for a minute?' Right there, you have a compliment and an offer to join you for something in one little phrase! Or, just compliment her. Girls love to be complimented, just say 'Hey, I just wanted to tell you, you're really good' or 'good game.' The more times you approach her and even just say hi, the more comfortable you will be, and hopefully things can progress from there. Good luck! I hope that helped a bit.
