Today is the day I speak to the guy i like. I'm so shy. And it's gotten to a point where I dont even look at him when I have to pass him. 😭 Just need some encouragement ❤️🍄. Thank you guys☺️

Edit: I did it guys, i talked to him and was pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much🥰🥰

Sorry forgot to say what happened 😅. Very overwhelmed with excitement. So he works at the library I frequent as the security guard. Today I walked in and seen him but he was in the lobby at his station and there was a lot of people there. I didnt say anything then because it was way too much people and I was too scared. I passed him again to use the bathroom but I knew I could not infant of others. I was at the library for quite a few hours studying so when I went to see if he was still there he wasnt and I assumed he left. Stricken with grief about not being brave enough I was in a shifty mood and ended up leaving the time I had to vs staying longer which I normally do. While I was packing up I seen him walking between the book case. I ended up behind him walking and going to the second floor to return a book. I seen him finally by himself but was so nervous and went to retreat to the bathroom. Called my younger sister who gave me a pep talk and went for it shockingly. Was so nervous I felt like I was going to throw up. But after I got off the phone I walked right up to him and told him he was really cute. I was going to walk away after but he wanted me to wait so he could talk. He was in the phone but ended up hanging up and telling me thank you. And that he thought I was cute. He even asked for my number and we talked for like 15 min. He was so sweet and even cuter close up. Im so proud of myself i never done anything like this before and was a bit hesitant bcs of my own insecurities.

He asked for my number just waiting for a text. If not I will see him tomorrow. Thank you again guys I appreciate the encouragement. ❤️❤️🍄

Hey, this is for people who are scared to make a move or approach their crushes first.

So for some context, I recently had a crush on a guy who was quite shy to make moves and all. I was making most moves, like texting him, asking for his number, etc. One thing I did worry about when I was making those moves was "what if I regret?" "what if he doesn't feel the same way?" and how embarrassing it could get. This situationship kind of crush ended a few weeks back (I stopped liking him) so I just have some advice for those who are questioning their decisions.

I thought I would regret when it came to an end but I don't at all. Like I genuinely feel proud of myself, who could make all those moves. So whatever you have in mind, just go for it. Expressing your feelings is not embarrassing! Life is too short to wait for the other to recognise your feelings before you do anything. So just keep these in mind.

Imagine being liked by someone. Even if you don't like them back, it can still be a nice feeling. So they won't mind. And them not liking you back is not the greatest problem in your life.

Next month will become next year and next year will become never. So just do it. Like anything you feel like doing. You don't need to play games to get the people you want. All you need to be is honest and open up.

I knew my crush liked me back, but me only making the necessary moves became tiring at some point. So if someone reached out to you and you're also into them? REACH OUT AS WELL! especially if you know when they like you, like what do you have to lose? So like stop testing the waters or expect them to be making every move, and just make yours. It's a two-way thing you know.
And you turn up being the only one making moves and feel exhausted? Then quit it. You won't even have to try to quit at that point, you'll just lose it naturally.

Make moves so that you can check their feelings as well as your own. You're getting to know each other, remember? if you don't feel the same way you did at the start of things and lose the romantic interest, that's still okay. Emotions can come and go. But there is only success if you try. This is not even risky; this just seems risky, but really, there isn't as much risk as you thought.

There is so much more in life! You can do this! Again, life is short.

comment if you need more encouragement or need advice.

This post is to encourage anyone with a crush, please go talk to them, it doesn’t have to be a confession but small talk is already a good step.

Wondering for months if they like you back is a waste of time and I’m talking from experience. If you’re open to talking to them or you want them to approach you, take the first step. It doesn’t matter if they’ll reject you or not, if you don’t try talk to them you’ll regret it and keep asking yourself why you didn’t just go up to them. (I wouldn’t approach them tho if you know they don’t like you/avoid you)

I also have a crush on a guy from school and he never talked to me but sadly he’s almost leaving school. I wasted months on trying to figure out his body language and trying to talk myself out of it, but now i finally realized that it isn’t as bad as i made it seem to be. I wasted alot of time and he’s almost leaving school and i still haven’t told him how i feel, idk if i’ll ever get the chance to do so before he leaves

So if you read this and you also have a crush on someone and you’re interested in getting to know them. Make the first move ! Putting yourself out there is already a big step and something you should be proud of ! Believe in yourself and try to tell yourself that everything will be okay, approaching someone isn’t a big deal and you can learn from it

I'm a girl in my mid twenties but I don't have much experience with dating and guys. I'm more on the shy side but when I talk to guys I like platonically, I'm really natural, calm and am able to say interesting things.

When I talk to my crush, I'm the complete opposite. I often start conversations with him but I get nervous, my mouth dries up and I end up speaking too fast or saying boring stuff. Then I get even more nervous as my crush will answer me and ask questions to keep talking but turn his back on me or take a few steps away with his back turned to me most of the time we're talking, so I feel like he's only keeping the conversation going to be polite. I'm not sure that he can actually tell I'm nervous, but he probably feels that the atmosphere isn't comfortable.

How can I become more confident when I'm around my crush so that I'm less awkward to be around and he enjoys talking to me more?

Does anyone know how to get confidence to talk to your crush

I am afraid that I am boring. I don't know how to maintain the intensity of a conversation. I often doubt myself that I am not able to be interesting with guys, I am always like "should I ask this or not". I am also constantly scared about small things that will make the guy not like me or think I am a creep of some sort. Ik I am thinking way too much when I talk to a guy. My heartbeat gets fast and I am unable to think properly. I wanna be more confident and a smooth talker.

What should I do, please help?

Recently in my youth group, this really cute girl has started coming. I got to know her a bit, had a couple late night text conversations where she basically told me her life story, things like that. The problem is, whenever I see her in person, I freeze up and get really... awkward? Like, I'm usually a really loud, jokey kinda guy, but around her my heart RACES and I watch everything I say way more closely. Despite me being nervous on the inside, I become irrationally calm on the outside (I guess as a way to make me seem less nervous???) This bothers me a little more than it should, since I haven't been like this since I was a child and only liked girls cause they smelled nice. What are ways I can brush off the anxious feeling I get, or just ways I can trick my mind into thinking it's no big deal?

TLDR: how to stop being shy and dumb around POI

I’ve always been a shy person especially to guys. But I’ve been catching feelings for a dude and decided to shoot my shot. I was actually surprised to be the one to initiate with my crush and have a chat with him. But I just like feel if you actually like someone, you will go and actually want to get to know them. Don’t be scared of rejection. When I went up to my crush, he rejected me but I was totally cool with it. I’m just glad I was able to conquer my feelings and achieve actually going up and striking a convo with my crush. x

I have been admiring him from afar and I'm ready to talk to him. Any tips?
