I really liked this guy. for 9 months) I was at a school dance two days ago, and I really wanted to talk to him, but I was too scared and I'm too shy. I actually think he likes me a little more than a friend, but what can I do to open up and not be so shy? I'm 13 female/

But now i've found out that you can just be yourself around guys and it isn't that ackward at all. Sometimes it helps to think of topics you guys can talk about BEFORE you know your going to see him/ or talk to him. like a class you have together, or anything school related really is always a good topic. if the guy is normally funny, then it will be A LOT easier to talk to him if you have something funny to say to him that way you know he will laugh and most likely make a another joke about it with you. But don't try to hard, or sound rehersed. And sometimes talking to a guy at a school dance can be harder than talking to a guy just in class. So try talking to him in class first then you won't feel as nervous talking to him at a dance or outside of school.
since you guys both go to the same school try to sit near him in school/lunch. guys tend to talk more to girls they sit near. if you can pick your seat in class try sitting next to him. but since you said you were shy, sitting next to him might be too hard for you, then sit next to your friend in front/back of him or at the table next to him, so you are still in talking distance. I know that always works when you sit near the guy.

Like maybe you don't like being around him or something. Go somewhere with him that both of you like to go. Kinda like a date, but you don't have to call it that. Take a friend or two with you so if it gets awkward or anything, they'll be there to save you. Just be confident, smile alot, act happy. Don't over-do it though. You don't want to appear fake or anything. good luck!
