Question Posted Thursday November 20 2008, 8:56 pm
Hi, I am 14/F
I am a veryyyyyy confident person. I hang out with guys allllll the time, which is part of the reason I am currently single. (I swear they think I am one of the boys. Plus they are intimidated by me being Student Body President) ANyways, I act completely chill around all of them, except for a certain boy named Don. I have had the biggest crush on him for 2 years. I get really nervous around him and I can't think of anything to say. His friend, however, is also someone I like. I have known him since 4th grade. We have been best friends ever since. I have a HUGE crush on him, and I don't get weird around him at all.
I guess my question(s) are:
1. Why am I nervous around Don and not his friend?
2. What can I do to not be as nervous?
3. Do guys really find being Student Body President that intimidating??
Please help me woth any of these questions.
Thanks,
Lys
Being nervous, unfortunately, is inevitable. No matter how much you try to avoid it, it still happens and it sort of relates to having butterflies in your stomach. All I can really advise you to do is stay relaxed and calm about everything.
I think most guys would find it intimidating that you are student body president because you have so much power over your peers. Being president shows that you are a real leader and that you have potential to succeed. If I were you, I'd find it flattering:] [ forgetregrets's advice column | Ask forgetregrets A Question ]

Well to stop being nervous you have to make yourself believe that you really like DOn and just start talking to him more treat him like you treat your guy friends at first and then start making him realize that you like him and treat him like you would treat a special person in your life so basically talking and hanging out with him is the key to getting confident around him.
And lastly most guys dont care but some do get intimidated because they feel that a student body president is a little more tough and smart and so that kind of makes them feel a little less confident compared to you but im sure that your guy friends will stop feeling that way once they get use to the idea that you are student body president.
