Hi, can you give me any flirting advice for SHY people? Because i really like this boy (people have told me he likes me too but I don't know). It's just that when he looks at me I immediately look down in case he sees me blushing or looking at him, and when he touched my foot under the table I pulled it away. I wanted to keep doing it, but I dunno, I just got nervous I guess. Help please? Thank-you xo

Flirting can be very difficult for those who dont do it often, but there are a few things you can do to flirt back. Physical contact is the most important part of flirting.
1. For instance when he touched your foot, GENTLY (notice the key word) nudge him back (make sure you smile through this next part) and turn with your back to him and occasionally look back at him.
2. If you ever see him in hall and you walking with your friends glance up at him and smile but make sure its not for a long period of time.
Ok heres another thing, from playing footsies it may end up in holding your hand so if you were freaked out about the feet thing you may want to brace yourself, but if you really like this guys(which I'm guessing you do) dont pull away from him when you know he's flirting with you. One last thing before I go. You have to remember to breath. I know when people get nervous they tend to hold their breath, but dont. Count in your head if you have to.
I hope I helped and good luck. [ CaNdiShOpQuEeN's advice column | Ask CaNdiShOpQuEeN A Question ]

Everytime he looks tell your self you need to look back. Don't let your self put your head down but don't exactly stop and stare.
If he touches your foot under the table again look at him and smile.
I know it's hard conquering your shyness because I'm VERY shy too and it's really hard for me to communicate with anyone I don't know and feel comfortable around.
You just need to try your best to get over it and realise that if you don't you're never going to have a chance with this guy because he's never going to know that you like him.
Good luck

angelinluv6767 answered Monday March 21 2005, 5:47 pm: i hate it because im shy just like that. But when i liked this boy and people said he liked me too, i was so scaed and shy i didnt know what to do. I think that when he looks at you, instead of looking down, smile at him nad when he is touching your foot under the table, just keep playing around instead of pulling away. When yall talk, dont giggle all the time, unless somethign is funny. Because some girls just giggle the whole time adn that gets annoying to most guys. Talk to him alot, get to know him and become close with him. Hope this helped. if you have any more questions, just leave it in my inbox!
