LIFE

Dear Carol,

There is this guy in my youth group who I think likes me. He is really shy and is too nervous to talk to me. I’d talk to him, but I’m shy, too! What should I do?

- We're Both Shy

Dear We're Both Shy, 

One of you may have to take a deep breath and say hi. Or “I like your sweater,” or “That was fun, wasn’t it?” or “See you next week.” Then meet his eyes for an extra nanosecond. Why not? Enjoy!
