I really like this boy, but I'm too shy to do anything about it.?

Question

I really like this boy in my math class... he's really cute and smart which is a drastic difference from the other guys I've seen at my school. I'm so shy, and I smile too much and am completely passive so I don't see myself approaching him. I'm also a complete dork because yesterday I was having trouble on a class assignment and he leaned over me to show me where to graph the equation on the chart and I broke out into this huge smile!
I wore that smile for maybe.. fifteen seconds, followed by random giggles...
I'm just too shy to do anything, but I'm trying to break out of this little shell I've been woven into.
Advice?

Answer 1

I'm pretty shy myself or at least I was. People say I've opened up a whole lot since a couple of years ago, but I still shy away from certain little situations. You have to understand though that your voice will never be heard by this boy you like if you never open your mouth and speak to him and see if maybe he feels the same about you as you do for him. You have to find that confidence and have that feeling that you have to express yourself to this individual before something that could have sparked into a happy relationship disappears.

Then for some reason say he doesn't share the same feelings you do, what did you really lose? The answer is nothing. In order to have lost something you would have had to have taken a step forward in the first place. Just open up and let your voice be heard and tell him how you feel even if it doesn't go how you wanted, be proud of the fact that you went after something you wanted. All you can do is try and if you want something so bad, you have to go after it before someone else steals it from under you.

Good Luck.

Hope this helped a little.

Answer 2

Easiest thing is to approach by little things. Like little joke that makes both of you laugh, or things that will make the atmosphere feel easy, and comfortable. Then you can talk to him that way, should make you feel easier. Or try pretend that you don't know how to do certain hw problems and approach him that way. Use that as an excuse to open conversation, then turn the subject to something else when you guys are done. Make the first step or you'll never know what's coming. Maybe he'll be interested in you as long as you're willing to start the converstaion. Good luck

Answer 3

well.. technically, you should just be yourself. so just giggle. i don't think ppl will think your weird for being happy. and for math, maybe you should ask him more questions instead of reaching across the room to a friend. who knows? maybe you can start with sumthin like "hehe sorry can you help?" and give him your all- famous grin [try to look a little innocent if you have no idea how to do it, and tone the beem down a little]. Yeah, so turn your disadvantages [in this case, smiling] and make good use of them! hope that helped! ^^

Answer 4

Compliment him on his brains, and communicate how much you appreciate/admire that. You can probably find the guts to do that.

Don't start out by commenting on his cuteness. That's for a more advanced level of courage. ;)

And by the way -- smart and sweet is a nice combination in a girl. :)

Or if you're HOPELESSLY shy, you could find some kind of gifts to bring for the whole class, and make his three times as nice as anybody else's. :)

Answer 5

try to keep that smile in check so its not TOO big, make sure he's not intersted in some one else. play with your hair only a little though.
