It sounds like a bit of one, but it's slightly true. When your young, and with certain company, it's easier to experiment with your personality without trouble (everyone sucks when you're young =P and certain company are far more forgiving than others) - but you can always observe others and copy what things work. And really, the first step is to loosen up and not care as much - there are plenty of people who will accept you no matter how many there are that you bump with, realize this. Until you learn to be less bothered, less anticipating of, and less anxious about those awkward moments - you're only going to be intensifying the ones that are there, and even creating your own. It's better to start out a loser than to become a loser - and being a loser isn't so bad if you learn to enjoy it =D Thanks though.
psst....you know what i always found REALLY flattering? when men get nervous and awkward around me; it's kind of an unspoken compliment. just keep talking to her, she probably likes it. and if you're being uncomfortable and she still insists on talking to you, she DEFINITELY digs you. it may be painful for you to continue to supposedly embarass yourself, but eventually you'll be able to compose yourself (and she probably thinks it's cute).
