fragileheart Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 There is this guy that I met that I would like to get to know better. I am the shy type, so it's very hard to talk to guys that I am attracted to. I am actually scared to death of guys, and don't really know why. I'm not sure of what to say to them or how to act, unless they come up to me and strike up a convo. My friend think he might have the same feelings for me, but I can't tell if he does or not. I thought he might up until the other night. He must've said a total of 10 words to me the whole night. He used to find some way to get my attention, whether it be by pulling my hood over my head, kicking my foot, writing on my shoe, brushing up against me, imitating things I do with my hands, and the like. I guess what I need advice on is how to approach this guy. I get all tense and nervous when I am around him. He gives me those butterflies in my stomach that I haven't felt for a while. I want to be able to go up to him and have a conversation to get to know him better, and actually show I'm interested in the person that he is. But I'm stuck back in high school mode when if you talked to a boy, they automatically thought you liked them. I've been rejected a lot, so I guess that is where my fear stems from. But I know if I continue to shut myself down around him and not talk to him, he'll just move on and not even try to be my friend anymore. Any tips would be appreciated.

Darkangelism Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Just walk up to him and say hi, if you like him then that is the message that you should want to send to him, cause if he doesnt get the feeling that you are interested then he won't ask you out. Guys are nothing to be scared of. Link to post Share on other sites
faux Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 As for this guy suddenly becoming untalkative around you... Possibly he saw himself trying to get your attention -- To show he's interested -- And when you kept shying away he decided to himself "Sigh. I guess she isn't into me." Only a possibility. Just start talking to him more. You don't really have to say much about how you feel right off the bat. But if you like him feel it out Link to post Share on other sites
Author fragileheart Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Thanks for the replies. It's always nice to gain a guy's perspective on things. I know there's nothing to be scared of, I don't know what my problem is. But I am going to make myself go up to him and talk the next time I see him. Link to post Share on other sites
