I'm really shy around girls, especially the ones I like. I don’t like to admit that I’m shy but recently I found out how bad I really am. A few weeks ago I went with my parents to help move some furniture from a ladies house into our car. The lady was selling her furniture. I heard she had a daughter around my age but she wasn’t home at the time. Well the ladies daughter came home, I was waiting for my parents by the front door to leave, when the daughter walked in. I went into shock, heart in the throat; I wasn’t even able to say hi. Is there anyway I can fix this shyness that I have?
I also have the problem of looking about 2/3 years younger then what I really am for my age, mostly in the facial area. My Height and weight are fine (I think). I'm about just over 6 ft in height and I'm 163lbs. should I try to make myself look older? Most girls my age don't even notice me b/c I look to young for them and I don't do anything about it b/c I'm too shy.

Thank you everyone for the help, some of you suggested making some female friends before I start dating. I agree, sadly right now I can't name a single female friend that I have. :/ I'm also going to ask two of my guy friends for help, seeing that from what I can tell they are not shy around girls like I am. Also hurleygu thanks for the suggestion but I think if I talked to random girls at walmart I would blush really badly.

To get more friends and feel comfortable around people you need to start associating yourselves more with them. For example join a club or a sport. Your self-confidence will boost up on its own, try talking to a girl that you think is just a friend. Then you will get more comfortable around girls work your way up till you like one and date her.

If you're that tall, I think you look your age. Some chicks dig a "childish" face.
Just try to get yourself out there and start talking in general, then build yourself up to the girls (lastly, the girls you like).
It's high school, man, no one knows what they want or they want what everyone else has. None of it will matter in the end-trust me! Just do your thing and be happy with yourself-you are not there to impress anyone!

I think hurleyguy has a good idea aha.
If some guy came up to me and randomly said hi, I would be intrigued :). You wouldn't know the girl most likely anyhow.

your height and weight are fine... maybe you should go out with girls younger than you, try to find some friends to hang out with that are girls, once you get confortable talking to them you'll get comfortable talking to all girls. all you need is a confidence boost

for the shyness----i think that you should go to a store (like walmart or a store that you wouldnt see people that you know in) and go up to random girls and just say hi and start talking to them. most of them will probably be a little freaked out by you but they can get over it because you dont know them and you will never see them again.

Just be yourself. Try to practice talking with your friends until you feel confident enough to talk to a girl. And your height and weight are just fine.
