We're both shy. Options

[sweetdreamsx3]

There's this guy I really really like. Thing is, we're both really shy. Yeah, there's lots of eye contact and looking away..Obvious thing would be "Go up to him and talk to him", but I can't do that without turning red as a tomato. -.- This really sucks. Then whenever I do want to talk to him, he's always around his friends. *backs away*

And the other problem is that I don't know him at all. I don't know any of his friends because he's a freshman and I'm a junior, but we're both 16. I really want to tell him how I feel, but iono. It's hard when I have no classes with him, when I barely know him, and etc.

This sounds so stupid...

[Just_Dream]

... Just wondering... how many grades did he fail, if, in fact, he did fail..


But okay back tot he situation. One way or another, you haev to talk to him... Maybe he feels the same way too. Take the initiative. Make sure he's alone though.. Sure, you might blust, but it just shows that you really do like-like him, which is really cute :D Try to catch him off guard without his friends clinging to him, that way his friends won't influence him or make fun of him and keep him from telling you how he truly feels.. that is, IF he feels the same way as well. Get to know him better.. introduce yourself. You've got to talk to him.. It will only kill you (well, not literally) more, the more you wait. Do any of your friends know him? Maybe ask him/her to introduce you to him.

[sweetdreamsx3]

I'm assuming he failed twice because when he was in 7th grade, I was already in high school. *shrugs* None of my friends know him. And he's always with his friends..and when he's not, he's walking really fast, that I can't even catch up to him. -.-

[Shattered_Hope]

if he likes you alot...he'd get over his fear but if he doesnt then just forget about him...after all why should you be the only one putting up the effort[he doesn't even try and pretend to slow down when he's walking...]

[bad_girl]

u are 16!! if u cant even get over talking to him, then there wouldn't be anything u could do.

[nlgrl]

loll i have plenty of friends that r 16 and freshmen... one of them is cuz he failed twice, and the other is cuz he failed once, cuz his bday is at the end of the year :P

but ne ways, one of u should make the first move cuz if u dont, nothing will happen... have a friend come with you to feel more comftorable

[inthemudhole]

Can you talk to him online first?
That would ease some stress if you could IM him first.
But you can't just IM him forever.
Once you get to know him a bit and he knows who you are, then it shouldn't be too awkward when you go up and talk to him.

Hopefully he has a screenname.

[sadolakced acid]

yea, the internet does a nice buffer. can't blush on the net.

anyways: get your friend to go talk to him... and get him to go to you.
basically, use a wingman.

[Levy2k6]

i'd try and get his SN like Despise said.. and just talk to him there, its way easier to talk to people online and after a while, suggest you go out somewhere and hang out and yeah..

[silver-rain]

yeah, try to talk to him online first and then see what happens.

[lilJdawg]

Why are you going out with someone that you barely know. Bring your friends over to his group & make frineds. It's better that way. Or meet him afterschool & talk to him about it. Don't be shy, your 16, you can do it.

[sweetdreamsx3]

He doesn't have a computer...or so he says. Something about him moving ..iono. *shrugs* So that's pretty much out.

[kciv17]

16 year old freshman? thats.. crazy lol. but you should definitely ditch the shyness, get some courage and just talk to him. anyway if you don't talk to him then how are you guys going to get together? and if by some miraculous non-talking way you guys get together how would you stay together? don't be shy or embarrassed.. its just a boyyy.

[sweetdreamsx3]

Read it. I never said I was going out with him. I said I LIKED him.

And yeah, kciv17. I know you're right, but ehh....

[xtreme_<3]

yeah ..i know what its like being shy too ..i get extremely red when i have to talk in front of a large group of people or basically ..people make me really shy and nervous .. i dont know when i'll get over it but ..i know that being shy is definitely not a good trait to have .. that sucks that he doesn't have a computer though, it would be so much easier to talk to him later in real life ..well ..you can start by sending him notes and just use your friends as a messenger

[mz anita xP]

well, you shouldnt like him when you dont even kno him and never even talked to him. how you so sure hes a nice guy? well i understand the shyness really ruins everthing, but well turning red shouldnt be stopping you from talking to him lol try overcoming it

[sweetdreamsx3]

Lol, I only get shy when it's him, but other things such as dancing in front of hundreds of people or talking in front of a crowd, I'm good with that. No blushing or sweating. None of that stuff. It's just him...It's different.

Yeah, I should really talk to him...when he's alone.

[emalim]

Go for it. My last boyfriend and I were really shy too. But I told one of my friends who sat right next to him in my Advanced Math class, and she told him, and then we just kind of hooked up.
The shy guys are the best. They are a lot more suprising than the average joe who gives you all kinds of signals. But, I hope that this helps!

[mouse_3k]

throw a apple at his head. that will get his attention. might start a..strange relationship

[sammehmyst]

Well, if you go for it now, you'll be happy.
If you wait, he'll probably wait for you to ask him if he's shy, and then eventually like another girl figuring you don't like him.

[sweetdreamsx3]

*brings apple to school tomorrow* :P Hahaha.

[mouse_3k]

^ now remember, hit for the forhead. then go up to him and kiss his forhead

[sweetdreamsx3]

Lol girrrl! My AIM is bad! It'll probably land on the floor and be smashed. :P

[mouse_3k]

hahaha

go 4 feet away from him then just give the apple a little..just a little chuck. it should hit his face area...well you can hit him lower if you want then tend to his aid!

[sweetdreamsx3]

I think I rather hit up then below. :P haha
Lmao, I should just walk up to him and throw it. Perfect AIM!..but then I like him so that's a big no no. :P

[blah1234567]

well... i cant really give advice because im in the same postion like yours almost... *sighs*

[vanish]

Try sending secret notes to his locker (you DO know his locker don't you? o_0) or something. Do stuff that would catch his attention. Say hi in the hallways and eventually pick up the small talk; you'll get there eventually.

[sweetdreamsx3]

Yes, I shall eventually. Notes aren't slippable in the lockers we have. -.- They don't have holes like the lockers in middle school anymore. =\

[mistaken_identit...]

I'm pretty much in the same situation as you are...except I'm in the same class as he's in so it's a little easier, still hard though.

But stick to the try and talk to him advice I think it'll work.

[lulu424]

[cewinee]

buy the best ice cream ever ^_^ it'll get his attention n get him jealous!!
AHAh jkk =) anyway.. hmm.. well i read that u cant chat with him or email him cuz he doesnt have a pc or sth.. txt him? listen.. if likes you too n u make the first move n he sees u go all red, he'll be damn happy either way hahah! who cares bout a tomato face!! it'll be SO sweet to see someone blush while talkin to ya, makes it also obvious that ya like em already =) i dunnno i suck.. =( gluck! =))

[travnewmatic]

be not afraid!

hes gonna love the fact that he has an admirer, and if you do get flustered or stupified in the process of confessing your love to him, hes gonna do everything in his power to squeeze out every last drop of compassion toward you as a means to comfort you, and to reassure you that hes not reacting in all of the ways that you had feared he would.

either (a) call him up, (b) get him buy himself or, © employ a friend to play cupid.

Thanks for the last two replies. I love reading it. I'm kinda not liking him anymore. Lol, *shrugs* I'm seeing less and less of him than I did in the first semester and since I don't see him that often anymore, feelings kinda change. =\ It'll be a matter of time until I completely stop liking him.
