So i like this guy, and he likes me. We text pretty much all day pretty much everyday. We know eachother from a class we had together, well we dont have that class anymore. When we had the class together we were just friends and did nothing more than casual flirting because he has a crazy ex girlfriend. Well the other day we talked for the first time in person and it was kind of awkward. I dont know if it was because all these friends of mine kept coming up to me and hugging me or if it was my friends always coming up to me or people continually saying hi.
How can i make it not awkward?

but yeah, your friends doing those things definetely make it ore awkward, especially if its kinda the first time youve both talked in person in a long time. it just takes some getting used to, yuh know ?
well, you can make it not awkward by laughing it off and making jokes about the situation youre in like.. "our talking skills are soo much better over texting, i say we change that right now ;]" .. something along those lines, he'll laugh. it's kind of like an icebreaker, but youre flirting at the same time. it'd also be less awkward if you guys were talking alone, with none of your friends. so you guys could hang out ad just talk withut people racing around distracting you or interrupting you.
and another thing ive learned the hard way.. its only awkward if you make it awkward. and NEVER say, "this is awkwarddd" because it makes everything even more awkward than it originally was. the bottom line is, if you dont think about it too much, and just not make it a big deal by talking to this guy.. then it wont be awkward. im sure he feels the same way as you right now. you could apologize to him and e like, "sorry if this is awkward for you, my friends are very social haha." and just laugh it off, he wont care. his firends would probably do the same thing.
you could talk to him about it, but it just takes some time getting used to. so try to talk less on text, maybe call eachother more frequently.. so you can get used to eachother voices, because talking over text gives you time for a delayed response and you can think about what youre going to say.. which makes talking in person more awkward because youre at a loss for words.
but itll get easier. it just takes practice. it wont be awkward forever :] so, good luck and i hope i helped ! if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me, xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
