So I have a crush on this guy at school. I'm pretty sure he likes me back because I see him looking at me a lot. I also volunteered to read for the part of Juliet in English class and he quickly switched from Benvolio to Romeo. But there are 2 problems. First off, I have trouble talking to guys. I'm fine when it's just in my head, but I always get so nervous. Second, one girl that I'm sort of friends with also likes him. I would say I'm more advantaged. I'm more social and (not to be mean) would be seen as more physically attractive by most standards. I just don't want her to be mad if we started dating. So, anyone have tips on how to start conversations with boys?

If you really like him but your friend likes him too the best thing would be to talk to her. Imagine if she didn’t know and you guys started dating and she saw that. It wouldn’t end well. It’s not very nice to say you’re prettier than her and then add “not to be mean” it’s kind of like saying “no offense” then you say something offensive. It doesn’t matter what’s on the outside and even though that seems untrue it matters what’s on the inside too. Being social though does help because he can probably know more about you. Just try to become friends with him first and take it from there. Ask him about homework if he’s smart or if he’s on a football team go to one of his games. Just try to start a conversation on what you think he’ll be interested in. Also don’t try to focus on how you look constantly I know some people do that instead try to show that you’re comfortable around him. I hope everything goes well but try giving the girl a heads up.
ReplyIf you have trouble talking to guys, maybe, try and practice with friends and or yourself in the mirror. I know sometimes that helps me. If you really like the friendship you have don't waste your time with a guy. If you could live without the friendship and be happy? I'd say to try and get with the guy.
ReplyThe best way to learn something is to try them. If you have trouble talking to guys, then start talking to one, start with someone you're comfortable with, it can be your brother (if ever you do have one), a cousin, a neighbor, anyone as long as you find comfortable to speak with. Whenever there is an opportunity, let's say a group of your friends or classmates, a mix of boys and girls are talking and laughing, grab it and try to join the conversation if you can. Sometimes jokes are what people use as a good defense mechanism. I mean if you don't want to be awkward when talking to a guy because some classmates of yours are really good at teasing, try to make fun of it. I don't know if all of this makes sense to you, but the truth is if you don't want things to get awkward, find a way to make the other person laugh. And if you could start to get to talk with him, try to ask some of the things that he is interested in, because people always like to talk about what they like. Just try to talk to him, you'll never know if you wouldn't try.
ReplyAs for your friend, if she's really your friend I'm sure she would understand, but make sure that you talk to her first, it's best if she gets to know it first from you instead from others or from social media.
