I get nervous around a guy when I really like him and I always end up pushing him away because I'm so shy or I say something stupid,how can I get over this and just be myself? I want to be fun and outgoing but it's hard when I'm with a guy I really like, i don't want to look stupid around him. Any advice would help!

Stop talking and start listening. People love to be listened to. If he's active in sports, ask how his team is doing. You'll be so bored after 20 minutes of listening to his ramblings, you'll look really cool. Or ask him about his pet. A boy can spend half an hour telling you how wonderful his dog is. Keep pinching yourself to stay awake until he runs out of words. By then, your eyes will be a little glazed, but he'll think you're great because you two have such interesting conversations.
So remember, just keep your mouth shut and your ears open and you'll be adored.

You need to practice. Like at home, try to make a quick outline of what you want to say to the guy you like, practice it to yourself (alone since practicing will look really stupid in front of others), and then execute it the best you can.
I used to be really shy and I've done that. Now, I can barely stop talking...which I guess is bad... But it's better than being a closed book.

Just be cool. Act as if he is just another one of your friends and the 2 of you are having a good time and then maybe you will loosen up around him. If that doesnt help then smoking a joint or 2 might help calm your nerves.

Write down what you want to say on paper or on the computer. You will find that you can eliminate anything that sounds off when you write it down. Then when you go tell him you will feel more confident about what you have to say. Just remember that chemistry is born out of mutual attraction and after you talk to him its all on his end. If he blows you off its not your fault its his. :)
