I think I like this guy...and I can't help getting nervous around him
Question Posted Saturday March 24 2012, 1:52 am
There's this guy...I recently realized that I do like him. I kind of have this feeling that nothing will ever happen for a few reasons, but I still get super nervous around him. Sometimes, we'll walk and talk together in the mornings before and after 1st period. I used to have no problem keeping up a conversation with him, but now I'm struggling to keep up my side of it and it turns into an awkward silence. I can never think of anything to say and I feel like I mumble on sometimes. I'm always afraid to approach him in the hallway when I see him so I wait until he comes up to me. I think he thinks that I don't want to talk to him or that I don't like him. How can I overcome my shyness/nervousness and be a little more flirty when I talk to him? Thanks in advance for everything :)

Ifyou want to be with him, not telling him will just make you want him more. Be honest. Spend some more time with him. try to approach him first so he knows you want to talk to him. be yourself around him. if he doesn't like it, then it is his loss and theres plenty of fish in the sea. Would you rather take the chance and there being a possibility of u being with him..or not take the chance and regretting it? go get him gurrrl! don't be afraid to take a chance.

Like if he says something about why you don't come up to him first just say that you are shy. If you do really like him, try to get over it as best you can so you don't miss out. Conversations and approaching people are a two way thing and if he thinks you don't like him because you aren't doing that then he could stop. If you explain to him that you do and you're just shy, he'll understand. [ xomegaroni's advice column | Ask xomegaroni A Question ]
