How do you overcome shyness when around a guy you have a crush on?

It seems you get flustered by voices and proximity, I know the feeling. I've never got past it myself, but I have an idea. Maybe make an effort to try as hard as you can in real life, and then in your text interaction, explain how you act, and why you act that way around him, and why you want to keep working at it.

Honesty can be intimidating and make some guys run, but it can also open the door to something great. You seem to be losing him as is, so isn't it better to make a gamble and have him know how you feel regardless? It gives closure and less regret that way.

I'm the same way. I have the hardest time talking to crushes when I'm around them and on the phone.

I find it easier if you think of them as a friend first. It makes everything just flow better. I used to have to repeat to myself "I don't like them. We're just friends. Friends". It worked too. I'm not shy around my crushes anymore and they actually think I'm fun now. Maybe you should try that?

There's nothing wrong with being shy. I used to be extremely shy during high school. I used to date this guy (my first love) for almost two years we talked enough to get to know each other, but we usually just made out and and . such.lol. I came out from my shell once I started to work as a waitress and eventually started to bartend. I made crazy friends and did crazy things (nothing illegal except underage drinking).lol. BUT I'M NOT ENCOURING YOU TO DRINK! I dated few guys after him but I ended up moving in together with my first love and we're so very happy right now. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. You're eventually going to break out from you shyness as you grow up. But right now, just go with the flow. Let him know who you are. Good luck!
