FunnyCide answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 1:44 pm: Confused,
This is totally normal! I'm this way too. If you want a boyfriend, start with a boy - friend. Just a guy who is your friend. You'll get more comfortable around him, you'll hang out, you'll start to like him.. he'll like you.. and presto - easy made pizza! Well, maybe not pizza, but it's about that simple. Just be nice to them. Guys are normal people! (most of the time.. lol) As the cliche says, "To have a friend you have to be a friend" I suppose that's true, but in ways, it's not. If you're too shy to say something, smile and nod, smile and nod. Laugh at the jokes, smile and nod. Stop focusing on having a boyfriend and focus on having boy - friends. Guys are awesome people, and they really know how to listen. They don't have as much drama as girls do, and most of them wont hit a girl! (there are acceptions to this) If you do end up with an abusive boyfriend, ditch him. I have a great-grandmother who physically abuses her husband... and he's 93 - he can't defend himself. It's sad. If you end up with someone like this - get rid of him. Most guys are nice, and want to be your friend - but they're as shy as you are. Sometimes you have to 'make the first move' and say hello. That's all it takes. Remember: smile and nod, smile and nod. Laugh at the jokes, smile and nod.

Courtney answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 1:21 pm: Yeah this is normal and you'll just have to learn how to get over that . I go through this with certain guys that I feel are special . Here are some tips :
a) avoid uncomfortable situations and if you there is a uncomfortable discussion or topic, don't freak out over it . Guys can't stand girls that do that . That's taking things too seriously.
b) Try to joke around and things but don't do jokes that are geeky . That means that you are trying too hard AND YOU NEVER WANT TO APPEAR AS YOU'RE TRYING TOO HARD .
C) If you can, affiliate yourself with sports and other things like wrestling .
D) Don't be girly yet, don't be too tough because they'll either think you're gay or that you're too girly . NEVER SHOW FEAR OF THEM . JUST BE COOL ... AND DON'T TRY TOO HARD . BE LAID BACK AND COMFORTABLE . RELAX . YOU'RE TRYING TOO HARD AND YOU'LL DO FINE . I hope I was some help . Let me know how it all went for you . Have a lovely day .

OrionsFire answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 1:12 pm: Yes, it's normal. Why do you want a bf? Just so you can say you have one? Wait until you meet a boy you really like and feel you can be open with before you make a decision that you want a boyfriend. [ OrionsFire's advice column | Ask OrionsFire A Question ]
