I'm too shy to even look at him?!?

[Mango]

Hi.

Let's just jump to this topic..

There is this sweet guy in my class that I have been crushing on for about one and a half year now. I don't even know if I should call it a crush anymore. It's gotten so severe that I (being a shy person already as it is) can't even get the courage to just LOOK at his direction. If he's sitting behind me, I won't turn around. Can make me do it.

The funny thing is, I know he likes me. In fact, both of my two friends (I'm the type of person who is happy with whatever she gets. Two is more than enough to happy-fy me.) know it. They drop little hints here and there once a while, and the look they give me while they do it just makes me go red.

The crush started when I first noticed him looking at me pretty often when I was about 3 months new in the class. And so it went on and on and here I am. I try so hard to get the courage to do anything. I do,from time to time, try to get really close when we happen to walk beside each other or sit close to one another. I strangely find that easier to do than looking at him. He, on the other side, won't stop staring and walking REALLY close, and I'll be honest here, I love it. But the thing is, when I notice him staring (through the side of my vision) I start acting like an idiot. Can't help it.

I'm quite surprised he hasn't lost interest yet. I have heard that guys don't like too much of a hard-to-get type of girl (although I'm definitely not doing this intentionally..). In fact, his advances have gotten more frequent and obvious as the months went by. Whereas I am turning wackoo. I'm more scared than ever to lose him because we're finishing 9th grade soon, and everyone will have to move on to another school. Yes, I'm foolish. All this time and I have been looking like I was ignoring him like an asshole? Dumbass

And now to the question, PLEASE give me some tips and push me a little to collect enough pieces of courage to dare do something before time runs out. I don't want to take the chance of waiting for him to make the move since we have such little time and he probably doesn't know what I feel for him I'm a quiet person in class due to goddamn shyness and I can sometimes come off as an antisocial asshole because of it, which is probably why he seems hesitant to talk.

Please, no mean comments! I really need your help.

I use to be extremely shy in the beginning of highschool too what helps is to try to talk to him on facebook or some sort of social media if you can. Start small just simply saying hi to him. You are in control of your emotions and your nerves try to take some deep breathes and think of an actress you really like and pretend you are playing her role when you talk to him. Idk if this sounds silly to you but it helped me to channel someone elses strength and confidence. If you can simply show him you think he is funny, he will gain some courage to try and be your friend. Just remember everyone feels shy sometimes, everyone gets insecure sometimes there is nothing wrong with you. He is probably just shy too, especially when it comes to his crush! Hope this helps! Best of luck! xoxo
