What can I do?


Question Posted Monday August 15 2005, 7:44 pm

There's this guy I really want to get to know. He's new to out school, he's cute, he's shy, and sits alone at lunch. He barely ever talks.

The bad thing is, that I'm shy, too. I'd love to get to know him, but my shyness is holding me back. How can I get over this?

Go up to him and break it. Just do it and expect the best. Break your shyness for him, because he would likely do the same for you. He just doesn't know anybody there and doesn't want to make enemies. If you approach him friendly, then all should go well. If you think it would be easier to get to know him, bring in a list of questions so you could ask him, and that he could ask you - would be a good way to start to get to know each other if you don't know what to talk about; then just take things from there. Good luck.

If you think you like him, sit next to him at lunch and introduce yourself, maybe you can ask him what his hobbies are, and maybe you will have something in common! Just do what you think is right. Hope i helped.

Thanks,
Jenna

Well, you and your friends should go sit with him!! He might not be that shy. If he's new he probably is just nervous. Go over with your friends at lunch and just ask him casual questions and make conversation. Like, where'd you move from? ohh...neat i had a cousin that went there once. whats it like there? cool i heard that too =P just everday conversation. Have your friends with you at first so it's easier for you and not as ackward.

send me a message and lemme know how it goes.
Hope i helped =)

This is an opportunity you just can't pass up. Is he in any of your classes? If not, MAKE an excuse to talk to him. Listen to music or ask him about his favorite music. Talk about his hair, complement him if you have to. But to start small, just SMILE. It ALWAYS makes people feel more comfortable.

If you would like to get to know him you should sit with him at lunch! Even if your shy you can overcome being shy and sit and talk with him. And if that goes well you should ask him to do something, tell him your shy as well and you know how he feels! You can easily become friends because you would be trying just try to overcome your shyness and start talking to him

just think about how bad you feel for him i mean...you like him a lot and there he is lonely its the perfect opportunity sit down with him at lunch say hi, introduce yourself, and ask him about his schedule or somthing...it is easier than you think it is once you get there and he will deffinantly appreciate it and odds are...if you are the first girl that notices him...he will like you more than the other girls...so get there before they do!!...hope i helped!

sunnyville answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:43 pm:
You could get over your shyness,first try to understand the problem.By being shy you let opportunites and friendship go.Second is overcoming it by stop worrying about whether the person is evaluating you.Try to think about good things,learn to judge others fairly there are other ways like wanting to change or knowing how to relax,cope with anxiety or rehearsing a situation before hand,relying on the help that god gives,gaining confidence by progressively sucessful experiences,etc...You must talk to this boy and it's much easier since he's shy like you!

ChOcOLoLo answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:29 pm:
Hey there! Don't be ashamed! =D Because he's new to the school, what about volunteering to show him around and help him accustom to this new school of his? Also, what about walking over there and starting a conversation with him? Like, which school he came from earlier, what sports/clubs he may be interested in, the classes he has, you know? If its kind of hard to just start talking to him on the spot, try saying "hi" to him when you guys see each other on your way to your classes. That will kind of loosen the nervousness. =) Never be ashamed and don't stop trying because of being shy, because you never know, you know? Hehe...I feel the same way too about being kind of shy to talk to guy I like, but really, DON'T be ashamed because you really never know. And lastly, try to work on being friends with him first, because you'll get to know him more that way. Not taking your crush too seriously will help you be yourself when you're around him and get to know him better.

I suggest hitting him in the groin with a claw hammer, it's an amazing test of commitment and your raging lust for his penis.

azngemini answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:14 pm:
if you want to get to know this guy as much as you say you do, then i know you'll be able to approach him no matter how shy you are. in 7th grade, i was in a new class that didnt have anyone that i knew. and i'm a pretty shy person when i'm in a place where i dont know anyone. there was this girl though, and i could just tell that she felt as shy and isolated as me, so i decided to start talking to her, and we've been good friends ever since. so if this guy is really shy, then there will only be a small chance that he'll try talking to you or anyone else. you have to be the bigger man and try talking to him first. that's the only way for you to get to know him. think about it, is it really that hard to go up to a person and say hi? just pretend that he's someone that you've known for a long time, and you'll be more comfortable around him. and inside he'll be so glad that you've decided to talk to him, since he's new and he doesnt know anyone yet.

hope i helped :)

BDeezy06 answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:02 pm:
It's not exactly something you can get over. You need to find out if you have any common interests, and then talk to him and stuff. You can also ask him if he wants to hang out wit your friends and stuff if he hasn't already found a group to hang wit.

FRiGGUNxAWES0ME answered Monday August 15 2005, 8:01 pm:
Hey, well i answer all my questions in a way that has God in it some how. But see you need to pray about it! And if he sits alone then you defiently need to talk to him. Because think if you were him, your new and your shy. Kinda SUCKS! But like God made you to be shy and its not neccasarily something you can GET OVER. Its not like a disease or anything that goes away. Maybe as you mature it will go away eventually. But just BE YOUR SELF PLEASE!!! If its a GOD THING ( or in other words a "GOOD THING" ) you will be yourself around him. And like dont rush things into a relationship. Get to know him and i can see you have a crush but just be friends for a bit because its the best like that. TRUST ME I KNOW!! Whenever i rush relationships.. usually they end up being garbage ( bad ). So just dont rush and be yourself and pray!! GOD LOVES YA , hope i helped

Well, unless you live in Florida, school should be starting soon. Try to sit next to him in one of your classes, become his friend, ask for his e-mail address, and if you need to make a move, e-mail him like I did! It worked for me, and it should work for you. Hope I helped, and good luck!
