I like a girl, but I'm shy.
 
Hey guys!

I'm sure you're rolling your eyes as I create another thread about my love life - my second thus far. The reason for this is because I like someone in some of my classes and I want to be better friends with her (perhaps move into a relationship as well). One problem thay I have right away is that I'm really shy, and I've only really talked to her when I'm talked to. I have nothing on my mind as a conversation starter, and sometimes it gets awkwardly silent.

We talk in our classes together, but that's pretty much it - no talking out of class. I also have reason to believe she likes me, because she drew a heart on my hand a few days ago and other flirty gestures. I'm not sure how to interpret this, as I haven't dated very many girls.

Exactly what part of this girl do you like about her?

We have similar interests, she's very kind (volunteers at various animal shelters), has similar political views, is smart and takes an interst in learning as I do, and many other things.

i'm a shy guy too, there is no shame in it, what i do is i use text them and slowly build up my confidence, because once you know someone better you can talk to them more openly.

for conversation starters talk about general things that may be similar in the both of your lives.

I'm exactly the same way and agree with Myst on this. Once you first meet a person, it can be hard to talk to them especially if your shy. But what I suggest is that you build your confidence up high enough so that you can talk to her and as Myst said, once you talk to her more and more, you will feel more comfortable and less shy. Just do any topics. Ask her whats are her favorite things to do. Just keep talking with her every day and I'm sure you will be alright. Build that confidence!

Marbs 12-20-2014 01:00 PM

Tbh I still never loved anybody :\ but you should randomly bump into her or something and show the inner you. Make her laugh , tell her funny things and she may say them back. Keep doing it until something.......different happens between you and her.

PS: This may sound like I'm exp but I never
Loved anybody and nobody loved me :\

That is your key to conversation starters, approach her act casual you are there to know her and learn more about her. Use the interests you both have and keep talking to her about it. Yes, you are shy and might find it hard to talk to her face to face. I was there once, unable to do anything but admire someone I really liked. I broke out of that. I believe you have the will to break yourself out of that state and enjoy your own confidence. Even a small act of saying hello and how are you in the halls or even in class is progress. The more you build up the relationship between you two the better it is to speak more comfortably about more than how she was feeling today. It's all on you to do what is needed and none of us here can do it for you. Don't just text here from afar get closer.

Tyler 12-20-2014 03:57 PM

I can't really give you much advise since I've had very little experience with love in my life. Try to be funny though and get her to laugh. That helps break the ice a little more.

Isaac 12-20-2014 09:55 PM

Use those shared interests to your advantage.

Ghettoicedtea 12-21-2014 03:18 AM

Im a really shy person too. Heres the basics,

Build a relation with her, learn what she likes, once you feel ready if you're trying to avoid the friend zone then go up to her, tell her how you feel and ask her out to something she likes doing and you can tolerate (winner everytime is wanna go to the mall or anything to do with food, bonus points if you cook it yourself).
Chicks like their men confident.

Thanks for the advice, everyone!

Talon 12-21-2014 07:31 AM

If you have her number, make texting her a nightly/daily thing. The key to starting a relationship is to interact with the person on a very regular basis, show them you're a good person to spend a lot of time with, because if you want to head into a romantic relationship, you'll both have to get used it.

Alternatively, if that doesn't work, show her your spar record.

BEH0LD iTz SAM 12-21-2014 12:12 PM

If you already talk to her in class and think she has an interest in you then you are off to a good start already. Just start off by saying hello to her if you happen to walk by her outside of class. You don't have to say anything else since you are walking past but it could lead to her asking you something, so that you don't have to be the conversation starter if you aren't good at it. Then you can ask her similar questions she asks you so you know each other better.
Then if you haven't already add her on facebook, just talk to her every now and then on that, easier to do in person so that you further establish her interests. That will lead to you becoming more confident talking to her in person and then you can step it up by inviting her out to the movies or something. It doesn't have to be just you two, you could start off by inviting a group and include her and some of her friends, and lead it into you guys going just together.
The rest pretty much sorts itself out so goodluck

10/10 advice,

I always just act like I am the best looking guy in the room at all times, really helps with the confidence part. Just tell her straight up how you feel, if you try to slowly work your way in then there might be a chance another guy will come in and sweep her away. If the problem is your confidence then focus on that before focusing on her. Girls don't like guys who have low confidence.

She's in my programming class so that'd actually be a kool idea

Talon 12-21-2014 06:46 PM

There is a grand total of one female in my entire programming class.

Alpine 12-21-2014 07:06 PM

I think she likes you, bro.

If you ever get in awkward silence again, ask random questions.

Like:
What's your favourite vegetable?
If you could be any animal, which? And why?

Stuff like that. She probably either laugh at the random-ness or say "that's a random question" and then answer it.

BOOM! Conversation started.

Oh and don't be too shy to ask her out. If you don't, someone else probably will. It's happened waaay too many times for me.
Oh, and if you get friendzoned, then it's been valuable practice.

Good luck dude.

Half of our programming class is females, it's great to see that so many women take an interest in programming.

Only 2 girls in robotics class, we learn programming there and 95% of the class is programming so i guess you can say its a programming class.

-Get a cool intro and "hack" or whatever her computer and do something funny

-Be publicly funny and interesting

-Show her you like her too! (If of course, you can get up to that point :))

-Entertain her

-Be relatively helpful

-Be yourself, you will never feel comfortable being someone you aren't and trying so hard to be interesting and stuff that she digs.

Do not show her graal.

Also, if your a bit shy on the asking part, then you can do it elctronically, like people said, build it up. Make like a heart or something (I don't know haha) on her computer who knows.


-Overall, just be yourself and be cool. Play it nice and try to do some things interesting and see if she feels the same way you do! Good luck man! :)

What's your favourite vegetable?

If she says children, marry her.

OT:

To get someone to genuinely like you be calm, a gentleman, prepared for commitment, open, and yourself. You need to find the perfect balance of self esteem as well. Too little or too much is a bac thing. Be funny but don't try hard. Text her now, if she personally gave you her number. Finally, know your boundaries. Girls have their moments but dont let them bother you too long.

Godspeed my friend.

Edit: DONT ASK OUT OVER TEXT BE IN PERSON OKAY THANKS
