ok, well i'm REALLY bad at showing my personality at first,i'm mostly shy until you gett to know me. soo, my semi-friend is asking me to hangout with her on saturday(sleepover) but idon't know,because i'm scared its not going to be fun and i'll bore her! i'm not good with just hanging out with one other person, how do i get out of my shell? should i go? any tips on this?
ps-i've known her for awhile only from school. i don't know if i should go for it? thanks!
Alilash answered Wednesday July 25 2007, 11:30 pm: OF COURSE YOU SHOULD GO!!! You shouldn't miss out on a new friendship chance! Coming out of your shell can be hard, but accomplished. First off bring a couple of things to the sleepover. For example some cool teen magazines, a movie, maybe makeup. What kind of stuff do you like? I once did a makeover with my friend and we did before and after photos. The makeover probably took over the whole night. This girl invited you to her sleepover for an instance, she likes you and wants to hang out with you to become closer. Talk about school, places you like to go, family, friends, and all kinds of stuff. Go to google and put in sleepover tips. I hope i helped! = ] [ Alilash's advice column | Ask Alilash A Question ]

Obviously this girl likes you for you since she asked to hang out. Just be yourself. Be outgoing dont hold back. You will come to find that people like you more when your outoiing. trust me i use to be that way to and then i stopped because i hated being shy and i have made a ton of good friends.

phatdopelove answered Wednesday July 25 2007, 6:04 pm: You should go, this can help break barriers.
A friend invites you, you should come because
if you don't she might think you don't like her
and will not invite you to another outing again.
++ Your thinking negative things already, like
"it's not going to be fun" think postitive.
You maybe nervous to go but don't be, if all the girls are nice I'm sure you'll be fine. It may take you awhile to adjust but it will all come natural. If they're telling stories you should tell your stories too, like something embarrassing that happened to you, don't be scared to tell it, they may laugh but they're laughing with you not at you. People will get to know you better, and think you're a cool person to hang out with.
People love a person who has an outgoing personality, or a really good sense of humor.
Use it. You can also come out of your shell by creating your own fun. If your more comfortable at your house, call some friends and invite them over to your house or something. You can be a host too. People are attracted to people who have an outgoing personality and they attract people like bees are to honey. Hope this helps! [ phatdopelove's advice column | Ask phatdopelove A Question ]
dancedance42 answered Wednesday July 25 2007, 6:02 pm: You should definitely go! This is a chance for you to show her who you really are. If you think things might get boring, bring a movie. But don't worry, as the night goes on, you'll start to come out of your shell. Don't be scared. Even though its only one on one, it'll be a chance to get to know her better, too. She asked you to sleepover, which obviously means she likes you. (as a friend, haha.)Good luck!
