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 ????

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!
