my friend is going to hook me up with her guy friend.
Question Posted Thursday September 13 2007, 7:30 pm
AH! 15/f...I have this guy that I FELL IN LOVE WITH at the beginning of the year. Just infatuated though, lol. I never talk to him. Because I'm too shy. But I really really really like him. And he always makes eye contact with me and smiles.
So yesterday, my friend comes online and tells me "I'm going to make it happen for you and [his name]. for sure. I got your back ;) I can make the connection between you two because you both are my friend"
And, of course, anyone would get SUPER excited. And I was. But now I'm beginning to doubt this. Has anyone on here ever been set up by a friend to be with a guy? I really want to be with him. It's like killing me inside. Self-confidence is a big issue here though. I'm not ugly, but I don't know how to look at myself/what to see in myself from the side. I don't know what guys think of me.
How can I better the chance of this working out? =( Thanks so much in advance.

So if matt didnt like you he wouldnt make eye contact with you them smile. He obviously likes you for who you are even though self-confidence is low. Some guys like girls like that. When you are out with him just be yourself. The worst thing possible you could get yourself into is a situation when you pretend to be someone you're not. Have fun and opportinities will be streaming in.

Honestly, you should trust your friend with this & the fact that it'll work. She knows your good qualities [the ones you don't see] & she can brag about them to him, and she can do the same thing for him. Trust your friend. She said she has your back, so believe her. She does. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

But don't you think you should be the one to come out of your shell and ask him out?If you have some confidence issues, don't you think this could bring you out of your shell? Its ok to get rejected EVERYONE DOES!It's ok, and don't be shy. Sometimes boys can admire a girl that can speak for herself, and be bold enough to make the first move. You have to start learning more about yourself, it may be an online personality quiz or zodiac signs. But don't be afraid. Makes sure that he treats you with respect and makes you feel good. You can do it! Deep down inside, there's a great interesting wonderfull girl who's just dying to tell that boy how she feels. Should we keep her locked up any longer?
