I'd swear I have a phobia of girls or something. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but I just can't make myself talk to them. Specifically, this one girl that I've had a really big crush on since last year. I've never talked to her in person, but I do have her on MSN -- she doesn't say much, and seems really uninterested, and I feel like I just prob her with questions.

If you've ever read Gossip Girl, she's Serena and I'm Lonely Boy. Everybody knows who she is, and I'm just plain old me.

Well today, was a football game. Earlier this week I mentioned she should go to the game, and that I'd introduce myself to her. Well, she was there, I was there, I have no idea if she knows who I am, but I didn't say a word. I spent the entire two and a half hours standing there, looking like a fool, beating myself up inside finding any and every excuse not to talk to her.

So I don't know what to do. I told her I'd say "hi," but I didn't. Whether she knows who I am or not, I bet I look pretty pathetic.

used to happen to me. sometimes you just gotta let loose and abandon all your worries and just be like "hey! whats going on?" because that'll get a convo going. if there's interest it'll flow and if not. you didn't look like an idiot b/c all you did was say hi

no don't think like that lol your just nervouse its natral i've met plenty of guys that are like that  in fact my bf is like that still lol which dosn't bother me at all because its my thing to make the first move but still if you like her you should give yourself some time to prepare....i mean if you get used to the idea then go for it and if she turns you down its her loss ok? so keep in high spirits

just talk to her, stop worrying about how it goes. DONT plan it just go with the flow, say hey or talk about things around you like about the game and ask questions so it keeps HER talking
also dont worry about how you look or what she thinks of you so much just go for it

One thing ive learned is never let anyone make you feel bad about yourself even if she more popular than you or whatever she is still just a person. She might be shy and thats why she seems unitrested...talk to her in person and see if you have any chemistry..if not move on.

I know how it feels to be nervous around people you are interested in. I've done that so many times. It's the hardest thing to do to come up to somebody and talk. I've been in situations like you many a time. You aren't alone, dozens of people feel this way.

If you like this girl, then you have to do something, but getting over your shyness first is crucial. Think about it like this: She gets nervous too. She's probably shy about talking to people she likes too. It's not like it's a weird thing that only you do. EVERYBODY gets nervous. She'll understand. But not talking to her will just annoy her. She'll be thinking, "I know he's nervous, but come on."

So IM her about something interesting. Ask her if she saw a certain movie, or what the homework is, or what she thought of the game. Talk to her some, try and get to know her better. I find that asking a totally random but open ended question usually works to get a conversation going. It'll be easier over MSN. Then, when you feel more comfortable, talk to her in person. Once you know her better, talking will be easier.

PM me to talk.

Don't worry about it. You'll get over it soon enough. :-)

if shes not interested, shes not interested, you know? but it could be the fact that youre so shy and stuff.
