I Like Her But I Never Talk to Her :-( Posted: 10-03-07 14:46pm
Theres this girl i think i like and i go
her school and i never ever speak to her,
all my mates talk to her but there is
something stopping me talking to her. We
text eachother all the time but we never
actually talk. I was going to invite her
round when i have got a free house but is
this a good idea ????

Go For It! Posted: 10-09-07 18:23pm
as the saying goes, "no guts, no glory".
there's no point of beating around the
bush. . . let her be your friend by
actually conversing personally. talking
through texting is the easiest way out
because you could freely say whatever you
want to say since it's not awkard the way
communications are done personally.
Now, if you like the girl, then start
befriending her. Don't rush things! Take
some time to know her better. Texting
might be a good start, now start gearing
up and take it to the next level. just
don't remember to be friends first because
you don't want the girl to be shocked.
good luck

In in a similar position. I like this
girl and apparently she likes me but I
dont have the guts to talk to her. I have
the guts to do like 120 on the highway and
all this precision driving and stuff from
fast and the furious movies but I cant
talk to her I'm too scared.

Don't invite her to your house so suddenly
if you rarely even talk to her. It kind of
gives the wrong impression, unless that is
what you are going for, and that is what
she wants. Befriend her, make sure you get
to know her, vise versa, then see how
comfortable you are then.
As for greekjohn, if she likes you, you
are losing out!!! I had that issue in haha
8th grade. Well, it was more like I had a
sudden crush, she didn't acknowledge my
existence, I was too shy to let it be
known, but I talked to her online one
time. Then it became online every day for
a few hours, and we talked in class all
the time and she liked me too after all
that talking.
Beat your fears guys, unless you have some
issue with saying the most offensive
sexual comments whenever you open your
mouth, just stop thinking, smack yourself
in the face, walk and don't stop and hide
your tail between your leg, and talk about
something that pertains to the situation.
None of that silly "nice weather" kind of
stuff, I use visual cues which would make
her agree with whatever it is you might be
discussing. Psychologically people tend to
be more friendly and interested if the
first impressions they have of the person
is that they have something in common. For
instance,"Oh man, you got the Chocolate
phone too? I HATE this phone." Since I
know everybody pretty much hated it, I
knew she'd have something to say back,
which she did. "Omg yes, it loses calls
all the time, and its slow response...
yada yada" Then after she told me how to
rectify the situation and change phones,
we went to talk about how cool this
teacher is.. blah blah blah. Then she
tells me to sit next to her in the next
class. But normally I don't do this, I
only do this when things wouldn't work out
otherwise cuz of the surroundings. Usually
I just barge in there and introduce
myself. Don't really need pick up lines,
just cordiality, sign of good intentions,
and something you two can correlate with.

So how Mikolas would me and england be
able to talk to these girls we are posting
about here. Like obviously we are scared,
like we don't have the balls to do it.
I'm scared to talk to her and stuff
because I did a similar thing in the past
and I got hurt because the girl wasn't
interested. So I don't want to get hurt
again because I will be beating myself up
on it because I didn't talk to her sooner.

Everybody else can ignore this little
story about myself except the two guys
here. It is not really relevant.
HAHa man, I know too well how you feel on
the word REJECTION. Oh man few things
hurts your pride, dignity and self esteem
more then that evil word. I had low self
esteem for as long as I could remember
because I was made fun of all the time
since elementary school about everything
to my name, how ugly I was, my race, etc.
Especially during high school I was quite
quite depressed and didn't have a care in
the world, didn't even know how to by
shoes because I never bothered with
fashion or anything because I assumed
nobody would like me nor care about me in
that way. Then senior year high school, I
realized how much time and life I've
wasted being like that, and at my 18th
birthday I decided to start trying to
change myself. I got my ear pierced (which
my parents weren't happy about, haha my
mom screamed and called me gay), got some
brand name clothes, actually have a hair
cut (I used to be mostly shaved during a
lot of high school) and decided to try my
new style out. A lot of the people I knew
in high school were shocked at my change,
and I liked it. So I decided to put my
looks to the ultimate test, my first
clubbing experience. Uuh yea everybody
reading this is probably expecting some
sort of a struggle/rising kind of story,
uuh no that didn't happen. 7 rejections
from the girls I asked to dance that
night, the last one of which tells me that
she is lesbian so she can't dance (after
which I saw her dancing with some guy).
Yea OUCH big time. Haha for some time I
would not let the rejections go and
blurted to the world how I must be that
blasted ugly, and how racist these white
girls are. It stung man, oof, I mean you
think a guy should get a break after high
school depression and a huge attempt to
change himself. With all that and past
experiences, that was almost 2 years ago
and I still have trouble with self esteem
now and then. But anyway, so after
graduation, I slowly changed more and more
of myself physically and socially, and
then I got hit on for the first time (that
I know of, on the last day of school. Yea,
I definitely didn't know how to accept
that so I just gave a sheepish smile and
said thank you. Then I got hit on more and
more, and I started college orientation
with a bang. On those few days, I decided
not to think about my fears, and only what
mattered, which was to prove to myself
that I can be social and not to start
college like I did high school. I met more
people in orientation alone then I did in
my high school for all 4 years. I created
a little ring of people following my
original posse haha. I had a number of
girls that had crushes on me during first
year, most of which I was oblivious too, 2
gay guys that hit on me (that is a diff
story lol oh man). So, your probably
snoring by now from reading all this junk,
but I just thought it might make yourself
feel more confident seeing somebody who
was worst off from just fear of women.
To summarize, I knew I had social issues,
as do you with your fear of trying to talk
to her and get rejected. But I had to keep
trying, I had to know whether or not I was
worthy, whether I can do it. Rejection,
despite the prick of pain it might bring,
is just telling you to move on to the
next, so that you don't waste so much
time. If you don't ask her now, you are
going to linger and ponder that question
for how much longer? Wasting all that
time, and never knowing because you were
too cowardly. If you ask her now, hear her
say no, take the pain, then take however
long to heal, and move on to the next, its
better then not knowing at all and just
being a dreamer. If she says yes, then
your efforts were worth it and you will be
happy that you had asked. This happens
often and I can imagine it sucks, where a
guy liked a girl, too scared to ask her,
moved on with their lives, met one day
randomly and talked about it and told her
that he liked her waay back, and then
finding out she liked him too.
It has been said that Thomas Edison has
failed ten thousand times before bringing
his inventions such as the light bulb into
fruition. Where would we be if he had
decided to let those rejections get in the
way and quit? In the darkness pondering
what should have been done.

talk 2 her, don't be shy. i've had this
same problem in the past. just talk 2 her
about random stuff, like anything
rele(well just not sex cuz then she might
just think u want some) lol. girls like it
when guys just talk 2 them, trust me i
kno. it either tells them that ur
interested, maybe a friendly person, idk.
any way just get the guts and talk 2 the
girl. the worst thing that could happen is
that yall would become friends and then
who knows...maybe more
good luck!
