CRUSHES

Advice

Saving a Shy Sistah

Hey y'all! I need your HELP! I have a guy that I really like but I'm afraid he doesn't like me back. I'm one of those shy girls who gets really nervous just talking to a guy. My hands will shake and my voice will tremble. He sits diagonally from me in math and I'm nervous just to look at him. And even when I do, he looks at me back and we make eye-contact but I just blush, look down, and turn face foward. Sometimes, I think he likes me, but I can't be too sure.

Sometimes in other classes, I catch him looking at me. We make eye-contact for a second and then I drop my gaze. I don't want to be afraid to look at him and actually try to make his heart melt instead of him always melting mine. So, PLEASE respond because the end of the year is coming fast and so is his birthday. A month after his birthday is mine. Thanks.


Sincerely,
Shy'

Dear Shy,

If you haven’t seen it yet, watch the movie Sixteen Candles. The main character, Sam, has the same problem you do. She couldn’t even see her crush without freaking out, but she gets over it and things work out in the end.


But back to real life… If you don’t know the guy very well, eye contact is a good place to start. When you catch him looking your way, try to hold his gaze for a few seconds. Just a few seconds, though otherwise you might look a little weird. If he holds your gaze, he might be interested. If not, don’t freak out. He might be shy, too. You really should just talk to him. He is in your classes, so you aren’t a total stranger to him. Ask him to be in your group for a group assignment in class. Talk to him in class.


If he seems interested, invite him to your birthday party. Get a big group of girls and guys to go to the movies or out to dinner to celebrate your big day. That way it won’t be weird for either of you.

Love ya,
Lara
