I need help :\

Let me give you some background knowledge… so there’s this really nice girl and I just feel so warm inside whenever I see her. I’ve known her for about 3 years, not personally, and I really want her to be my girlfriend. I’ve noticed she’s been looking at me in class, and quickly looking away, which makes me feel good inside :). This girl is so beautiful, and I really want to be her first boyfriend, or at least I don’t think she has had one… and I know she doesn’t have one now! I just have one really, really big problem :(, I’m shy. I’ve pumped my self up so many times, and it just ends up with me failing and walking away. Can anyone give some advice on how to be more confident? I feel like if I just say something simple like “hey (girls name)”, she’ll just look confused or even worse. Please… help me 🙁

Take a chance. Sometimes taking a leap of faith is required to in order to achieve a goal.

I agree with tsell, you just have to go for it. It’s never easy for anyone, and it never goes the way you planned. Also remember that no harm will come of going for it; you have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain by talking to her.

Good luck 😉

Be brave just start talking to her in person because then you’ll come of more confident and girls like that.

3 years is a long time! Have you paid her a compliment?

I agree. Go for it. Just say hello. Compliment her on something she is wearing – not on her attributes themselves. Hey Jessica, that is a nice scarf. Something like that. You have to try. If not, you will never no. A for goodness sake, try not to be too sensitive if it goes nowhere. There will be others.

Think about it, if you don’t say hi another three years might pass and you’ll never know whether she likes you. Just start a conversation with her! If she likes you back she will probably be more focused on not looking stupid herself then noticing whether you look stupid. Good luck!
