Question Posted Wednesday January 14 2009, 11:07 pm
I like this boy and i liked him for a long time so far. And he knows i like him and stuff but thats not the problem. The problem is that now all these other girls are starting to like him and flirting with him, im not saying that they cant becasue we arent going out or anything. BUt you see i was the only girl that liked him that time and i had a good chance of talking to him but i couldnt because i was to afraid, NOw al these other chicks are getting at him and Im afraid that they might get to him before i do and i want to do something about it but im to shyy to. What can i do??
I know its hard. But break the situation down. Don't be scared of this guy, just remember he is like any other person. Just be natural with him. Talk to him. Start off conversations about simple topics. If there is chemistry the conversation will just flow.
You have to put being shy aside. As hard as it is! Just start off slow, simple conversation! You can do it!

Seriously, not because you "saw" him first will guarantee you an exclusive right with this guy. You have to "fight" and win your man fair and square.
I believe the first step you have to do is to shed-off your coyness. Sulking in one corner won't help you one bit on your quest. Try to build up your self-confidence. You have got to show this guy what makes you unique and the perfect girlfriend among these other gurls. Show him how fun you can be with, how smart, how talented. But not to the extent of creating another persona just to make him like you. I mean, he should fancy you on who you truly are. The key is stepping forward and letting him know that such an amazing person existed in his world. And that is YOU. [ an_injured_poet's advice column | Ask an_injured_poet A Question ]
