Too Shy for Guy (Leah in Mesa, AZ)
dear jaqi,
i have a problem. you see there’s this guy at school that i like, his name is justin and he’s really cute and nice. but im too shy to talk to him. i tried messaging him online, but he doesn’t talk to people he doesn’t know. i get really nervous whenever he’s around, and the worse thing is, he’s friends with one of my old friends. it’s just a complicated situation. how do i get the courage to talk to him?
Dear Leah,
Sometimes it can be difficult to talk to guys. I can relate to that. It’s always harder to talk to the ones you really like because your worried you’ll say something stupid and that they won’t like you. The truth is that it’s best to just be yourself around boys because the only ones who are really worth liking are the ones that like the real you and don’t care if you say something strange because they like you for who you are. It’s very true that it’s hard to find guys like this, but it’s sooo worth it in the end. Trust me.
Try your best at talking to him. Just say hi and tell him who you are. If you work up some confidence to talk to him and get to know him a little, then maybe you could try talking to him online again.
I don’t quite understand how the old friend fits in to the situation completely, but it seems like this is discouraging you a little. Try to catch your guy when this old friend of yours isn’t with him.
Just remember to be yourself. Good luck with everything.
Hs&Ks,
Jaqi
