There's this guy I REALLY like. He goes to my school. He looks at me A LOT. Like, he's always starring. But, whenever we actually get to talk, he get's nervous, chokes up, and is REALLY shy. I don't know how to break the ice and get this moving along. I'm not trying to push things, but I know that he has a great personality. I just wish he would show it around me more. Any advise you can give me for the next time I see him?

The best way to make him comfortable is to compliment him or tell him a something about your life. Let him know that you like something he is wearing, that you would like to get to know him better, or that you think he is cute. If he knows how you are feeling towards him, he will be more likely to open up with you. Try having him in a place where its just the two of you. It may seem awkward at first, but if you tell him something about yourself or talk about something he can relate to he will be sure to engage in the conversation. Even a little funny story about something that happened to you can lighten the mood. You could also ask if he would like to go for a walk with you or out for a movie sometime.
Next time he is near sit next to him and rest your hand on his lap, squeeze his knee, or hug his shoulders for a moment. Physical contact such as this will tell him you are there for him and that he can open up and trust you. If you want to go for something bold, tell him you know he has a great personality, then leave him with a kiss on the cheek. Show him your personality! If you act comfortable around him, he will start acting comfortable around you <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
