MsArtful Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I was at this school thing, and was walking along when I heard "Hi my name is Jack, what's your name?" It came from a boy standing in a group of boys. I had never been in this situation before and through automation or disbelief didn't acknowledge him and continued walking as if no one had said anything. There is no way I could not have heard, he was right there. They didn't laugh or anything - as I thought they would, but were quiet. I felt bad afterwards and I'm annoyed as I've been wanting a boyfriend. I didn't even look back to see what he looked like and I don't know what school he goes to. I do a similar thing with boys I like. I go all frigid and cold, as if in disdain. Which is what I do to people I don't like as well - so I'm in a bit of a bad situation here. Is there any advice you could give me, so I won't be an frigid ice queen around boys I'm interested in?
gemmab2020 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 You just need to try and relax a bit more. Don;t worry!!! It all comes with experience... you will loosen up eventually. Try not to worry too much about it.
Author MsArtful Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks for your response, it is comforting, I think you're right, hopefully with more experience I'll be more confident and relaxed in the future. Ta!
Guest Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 however, i was told u were looking great and looked relaxed...i usually get there much later now - traffic is brutal. no worries. what did u think of that butterfly, bear, and candle? no worries i won't do something like that again. oh yah, my new job started. and, for everyone interested, yes i did drink both triple triples!

I get it all the time...it seems they were in love with me after all and I thought I have vomit on my tshirt. At least try not to run away. Stay still and smile and try to write down the number.
littlekitty Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Approaching a large group of people - even when one has said hello - could be daunting for a lot of people! Don't worry too much. Try to maybe interact with people you like a little more bit by bit and I'm sure your confidence will grow. Take a risk sometimes! He called you over, so he must have been interested!
Author MsArtful Posted October 25, 2006 Author Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks for your responses littlekitty and Daniel, I will try to interact with the guys I like more. I think I do it as a defence mechanism, as I don't want to be rejected or hurt. But, in future, If someone calls me over (as littlekitty said) he's probably interested. Thanks again!
