act like a complete idiot around the guy i like!


Question Posted Friday August 7 2009, 2:26 pm

i'm 19 years old, female.

i guess i've always had it easy, in a way. i've always been told i've been a pretty girl, and i do have confidence but i think it hurts me a little bit when it comes to guys.

i've been close with this guy for a couple years now. and i still never have the courage just to text him and say "whats up" or anything like that, i always try to come up with a reason to text him.

for example. last night me him and my cousin were watching a movie. he took up the whole couch and i was like okay well i'll just lay on the floor then. and he was like no we can share the couch. and so his head was on one end and my head was on the other end. well i was on the awkward end where i had to turn my head and my back was starting to killl after a while so i asked him to switch spots with me, he didnt. hes stubborn like that.

anyways late last night when i got home i texted him and said "i cant go to sleep because my back is killing because of you!" and he was like "i didnt do anything to your back" and i was like "you didnt switch spots with me when i asked you! whats up with that? i thought we did things for each other" and he was like "you asked at the end of the movie" and i was like "no i asked in the middle, but i'll remember that for next time" and he was just like "lol alright"

just things like that when i look back at it, i look SO stupid for saying that???!

why cant i just act normal around him. i feel like i whine alot around him, because in a way i think its flirty but i know its annoying but i cant help it.

how can i stop this!? suggestions?

Well, I'm not too sure about your taste in guys to be honest. Most of the guys I'm friends with would trade me spots the second I asked them to. It's just the polite thing to do. Stubborn is just another way to say he's a jerk.
He seems like a guy that's hard to talk to. Typically when you make a joke like that, guys will play along and joke about. If, for whatever reason, they refused to switch spots with you when your back was hurting, they would apologise for it if you brought it up in conversation later.
How close are you and this guy? If all he said was 'lol alright' and the conversation just died right after, it would seem that you guys aren't so close.

Anyway, I don't think that's such a stupid thing to say. Most people wouldn't think that's stupid, I don't think. He probably just doesn't have a sense of humour or didn't understand that you were messing around. It is sometimes hard to tell those things through text message.
As far as acting whiny, I wouldn't do it. I can't say what guys would think about it, but if any person was whining to me constantly, I'd be fairly annoyed with them. It's flirty-ish to do it every once in a while. But doing it often is probably a bit much.

Good luck(:
