    Extremely normal. When the right girl comes along, and she will, you won't even worry. Just relax!

    I think it's really sweet when guys are shy, but you have to remember the worst they say is no or words to that effect, and you just think 'well you clearly aren't worth my time' and move on to the next one.... You just have to put yourself out there, I know that's easier said then done, but once you've done it once it becomes a lot easier :)

    hahahaha everyone goes through that. You think it couldn't possibly change, then in time you find yourself completely over it. What you are doing is fine, instead of shutting yourself away, you try and start talking to the ones you know there is no pressure with, because they will expect you not to try anything so it's all fine. Another important step is to start talking to girls online. Before you realize you'll have found how to speak to them in order to be seen as a man and not just as a friend. Then it's all downhill from there.

    I'm like that. part of my college course involves work experience and there's a woman there I like. We've been talking for a bit but I wasn't going to try and get her number because I thought she was out of my leauge. A friend tried to convince me she wasn't and build my courage. I walked right up to her with the intention of getting her number and produced what i can only describe as a muffled gargle remenicent of the language of Cthulhu, cleared my throat and said that I was going on lunch break and i'd be back in a bit. I'm still cringing over it.

      alright listen. this isn't the 50's anymore. and your 19! get to know her, flirt with her, transfer that sexual energy to her through body language and your words. be like, "hey you should come over and have a drink sometime, your boyfriend wont mind." and see where it goes from there. and you dont have to do that with one girl!!!!!!! life is about giving a fuck about the things you should and not give a fuck about the things you shouldn't maynne.

      I think I may be single forever too haha it's a shame that confidence is such an attractive quality. I'm 20 and I've only had one relationship which was just fucked up, never had sex either, after I told the course i was a virgin (everyone was asking each other and i'm not a liar)a girl on the course said it was a shame she had a boyfriend cos she wanted to show me things and that i was handsome but she also said i wasn't fat so i think she was just trying to make me feel better about myself. (so sick of writing in replies to avoid wall text now. next 1'll be a min)

        The annoying thing is that i'm really shy, at first. That combined with the fact that I have mild anxiety sometimes, don't like sports, like shopping for converse, dc's, plaid shirts ect always gets people telling me that i'm sensitive (or worse gay. not that there's anything wrong with gay people i just don't want to be a girl i like's gay friend). Which is great for a friend but not for a relationship. I don't even classify myself as sensitive before IIN i never talked about my feelings ect and i'm only a little bit more open now. I wish I had the confidence to well appear confident it would help

    Shyness is normal, but you have to start to come out of your shell. Just talk to girls as friends, and put picking them up out of your mind until you're comfortable enough to be yourself.

    One of man's biggest fears is simply the unknown, and talking to girls is unknown to you, and you are afraid. But you'll never really know unless you try.

    I meant to say gay friend again. A girl i liked before thought i was gay, I didn't realise and asked her out. didn't go well. Anyway i've rambled on enough, trying to use iin to make me be a more open person but i've been drinking and might have been too open and gone on too much my bad haha. good day people ;)
