17/F I feel as though I scare people off. Like, I really want to get close to some people, but they just back away...they'll mention we should hangout & I'm one of those people who needs a date and time...I just hate when people talk about doing stuff, but it never gets done...so when I want specifics: that's the point where people never respond.I can play hard to get with guys...however I get so thrilled when It seems like I find a person I'd be able to relate to. How can I be a little calmer in such situations?
If somebody suggest that you hang out, ask them for a day only and not a time. This isn't putting as much pressure on them, and it's also helping you have a solid date. Then, call them a day or 2 before the day you're scheduled to hang out and then figure out a time. This way, you're still setting up a date and time, but just not right away. I think this will help you keep people around more =]

You don't need to be calmer or anything. Just the next time someone says "let's hangout or chill" or whatever, just be like yeah sure. just let me know when. This way you don't "Scare" them off.
