Ah, the plight of two shy people meeting for the first time

So I hear this gal has taken interest in me. She seems like a cool person and everything, but we're both shy as can be. (at least, I'm shy in certain circumstances)

Bad part is that we only see eachother while enveloped in a crowd of people. One of her friends already told me that she wanted to talk, but she's too shy to approach me so I'd have to go up to her. The looks over at me often while I'm doing whatever, and I never notice.. a couple of my friends do, though.
That said, I suppose since I'm telling my story, I should also include the fact that I dislike attracting attention to myself **this is the big problem**. Now, this all adds up and I want to break the ice and get to know her for who she really is, in the process. Every day I write my phone number on a torn piece of paper and shove it in my pocket for that occasion when I finally say, "Hi, how's it going? I heard you wanted to talk to me? Here's my number if you wanna chat some time." Then when I hop in my car and drive home with the paper still in my pocket I get pissed at myself for being such a pansy.

I know this sounds like a pathetic teenage sob story, but I really feel the need for a femme companion right now (to share good times with! just go play frisbee in the park and enjoy life away from babylon! anything!) and I feel that she and I could have potential if I can quickly take action.

Now that you know how I feel, how do I react? I've been known to waste precious moments like this.

 

couldn't have said it better.

just tell her what ya posted up there.
honesty is always good.. even if you are shy.

i was shy in highschool. had a crush on a shy guy. and do you know what happened? NOTHING!

be brave. i'll root for you.

 

Ah, thanks so much! I know there are two ways out, forget the exists and move on, or go say something! Damn I gotta do it. I'll try tomorrow. but.. like I said, I tried bringing myself to it all last week and today as well. Three years since I've given a shit about women and now since I have all this free time, time to start dating again.

tres mal..


ugh, now I remember the tension in my chest from thinking about this crap.

 

whats the worst she can say? .. "no".

you sound like a nice guy.. so don't be so hard on yourself.

 

heheh.. she asked me to the homecoming dance. I guess that's what happens when you procrastinate.. yarg, I was just about to fail at giving her my number when it . I always seem so surprized but blank. hah. She's a real nice person, I can tell.. shy like me, though. aha I hope it works out.

 

sweet......i gotta feeling you two will have good days together....now that the ice is finally cracked

 

Thanks, bro!

 

Ah, I do always love it when two people get together.
Keep us posted. Make sure you look great for homecoming!

<3

 

Yaya, I will. I'm waiting to see what shes wearing so I can sort-of match. hope her parents don't freak out when they meet me.

 

glad to hear it

 

Ah, I'm so glad this was resolved because you sound like a doll.

 

..

 

Hey I'm glad it worked out for you

And as for the clothes, it's okay to match a little, very little... Matching clothes is so disgusting

 

I don't know what you should say to her but you should definitely say something. I missed out on something when I was your age because I was too shy to talk to someone that I had feelings for. Now I have no idea where he is or what he is doing, however, who knows what could have come of it. I regret it very much. I mean I'm happy with my boyfriend now, but I just can't help but wonder sometimes what could have been. Just casually go up to her and ask her if she wants to go get a coffee sometime. Trust me people aren't paying as much attention to you as you think they are. I used to be super self conscious but really everyone is more worried about themself not what you are saying to this gal. Good Luck!

 

Hey i hope everything works out for you dude cos ten it means there may be hope for me too...ive got the same problem except the guy i like doesnt kno i like him and i thought he liked me cos we spent the whole homecoming hanging out, but after he just pretty much ignores me now...so good luck with yours and i hope one of us can get it right!

 

Hey, everyone! Thanks for all the good vibes.

The homecoming dance was tonight, just got back. She was beautiful, and everything worked out well. Sure the music sucked and neither of us really wanted to dance, but we had a good time. Time flew by and it was the last song, one of the few slow dance songs they played (damn that DJ). I could tell she wanted to kiss me but we're both damn shy. So it never happened, and I feel like shit right now. I just want to do it all over again and act on impulse for once. When I see her Monday, I'll tell her how I feel and maybe make up for our shortcomings. She really is a great catch, and I'm going to get teary eyed now. heheh. feel bad still.

 

thats cool. i love hearing things work out for people..

 

I love hearing that things worked out too. Its ok that you didn't kiss her. It will make the first kiss even more sweet because you both held out. So when you feel it, it will happen don't worry about when you should. Good luck sweetie.
