Oh that's perfectly normal. That doesn't really have much to do with confidence, it's kind of akward to start conversation with a random person in general, let alone a hot guy.

But just look your best, when you look good you feel good.

Oh my gosh that happens every single time. What I would do is take a deep breath. Think you can do this. Maybe your friend could do all the talking you could just stand there and stare at him. lol. Just talk to him, think of it as like a normal conversation, there's nothing to be afraid about. He might like it and is probably a lot more embarassed as you are. Or you could just try to get his attention for him to talk to you. The more you talk to guys at the mall or where ever the more you will be able to do it. You might even become a boy magnet you'll get so used to it. Dont be scared just keep your head up high, wave say hi, hows it going? stuff like that, its simple. Be casual. I do it all the time. He might like you after that. Try it, think confident. :)

Hey Hilary!
Heres what you have to do, you just have to think about it this way, its a win win situation. If you go up to him and you make a fool of yourself, then it'll be something you can laugh about with your friends, and it will help you learn what to say to the next one, so you dont make the same mistake again, and you'll probably never see him again, so he wont go off and tell all your friends you're an idiot or anything (not that you are :P )
If you dont mess up, which is actually more likely than the other one, then you win again, you get to go out with an awesome guy because you were confident and faced your fears.
It's tough to get over shyness, but I know you can do it, so dont worry about it. Just think positively, and try and think up some conversation starters before hand. Plus your friend'll be there when you go to do it, so you'll be able to lean on her to help you out.
Good luck, and I hope you answered your question!
Love ya,
Angie91

hey

well, first you gotta be confident by yourself. like when you are alone. look at yourself in the mirror naked & be proud of what you see. when you have a high self-esteem, you'll be more confident around cute guys.

just be yourself. be outgoing & don't mind the fact that he's hot. just think, "oh he's just some guy i'll never see him again in my life so i'll flirt with him!" that's what i do! in the mall & stuff i just smile at them & make eye contact & they do it back. just think, "well i'm never going to see him again" & that will make you feel better about talking to him.

& think to yourself, "if i make a fool of myself & act like a moron, there are SO many other guys out there. this guy doesnt' even know me!" & if you doo make a really big fool out yourself, he'll probably forget about it in like 2-3 weeks. seriously. guys have terrible memories lots of the time, espeshh. little things like a girl making a fool of herself.

just be yourself & be outgoing. pretend it's one of your guyfriends. i tend to get wobbly knees when i make eye contact with a really hot guy & then i start talkin gibberish. just stare at his nose. then he'll think you're making eye contact but you're really not . or his forehead [ incase your eyes go inward when you stare at his nose. ] smile a lot. don't look down at your feet cause it means you are nervous & he will know it.
