theres this girl at school that I really like.but I'm a super shy guy when it comes to actually asking someone out because I'm afraid because it kills me when I'm rejected. soo I like this girl.and she's not dating anyone.and shes.awesome.but I'm over-weight and am afraid that she'll say no because "i wanna just be friends" even though I know she'll just go out with some guy in perfect shape. what should I do?

well, if she says no because of ur weight, she's not worth it! but if you really really like her, and I no that happens sometimes.just start by asking her friends. like play truth or dare with them and you can get clues and stuff =] also flirt with her and stuff

well it seems that ur not even happy with yourself so at this point, I don't think you could handle it if she rejected you.

Just lay low for a awhile and when you like yourself better, she will too =)

Don't be shy, because if you are then you'll have a tough time getting a girlfriend. I hate when guys are shy, because most girls wait for the guy to make the first move. Start out with saying hey what's up and then ask her questions about assignments or work and such.Talk to her at first and see what she acts like, if she seems to push away then don't put yourself up for disappointment, but if she makes eye contact with you, touches you when your talking, approaches you, sits next to you or faces you when your talking and you think she may be interested than ask her questions about what she likes. If you like taking a girl to the movies, the best idea is to ask her what movie is out right now that she really wants to see. Even if you don't like the movie ask her when she's going with her friends. Tell her that you and your friends were going to see the same movie, if it's a girly movie then forget about it, but you can always see another one, playing a little before she gets out of hers and then talk to her after that.You can always have one of your buddies ask her if she and her friends want to get an ice cream because that's where you guys are going. Also, I don't know what she does, not that I am promoting this activity but it is very social and guys have asked me to do it with them and I don't refuse like smoking pot, cigarettes or drinking, but if she does one of those and so do you, you can ask her if she wants to smoke with you or come over and drink with you and a couple of friends, so it won't be awkward, you'd have your friends and she'd have hers. Try that, if it doesn't work then it's her loss not yours. And if you feel overweight, then don't change yourself but try losing some weight if you want, but don't let that play into a factor. I am interested in a guy that is a little overweight, I am skinny, but he makes me laugh which makes him attractive and I don't even think about his weight, good luck.

First of all, if you are rejected because of your weight, the person who rejects you is the one losing out, since they don't care enough about themselves to get to know the person inside. You are a treasure that God has hidden in a field of fool's gold and fake jewels. The person God is preparing for you, and you for will look for the treasure inside and find the you that really matters. Remember, less than 20% of a healthy long term relationship is physical (appearance, affection and sex). 25% is mental (decisions, commitment and thoughts), 25% is emotional (infatuation, feelings, etc.) and more than 30% is spiritual (where the deepest levels of two people meet, meld and share without overt communication). If she is a treasure hunter, she will see the wonder that is you, otherwise, she can fall for the fool's gold.

Fear of rejection and approach anxiety is ubiquitous. Everyone has it. What I want you to realize is that if you approach a woman and she rejects you, she's not rejecting YOU, she's rejecting you approach. She knows nothing about you, so how can she reject you as a person? The good news is that there are lots of techniques you can learn to improve how others perceive you so that when you approach you can have a chance to show them how great of a guy you are. For that I suggest you check out David DeAngelo's products on Cocky Funny, and read The Game by Neil Strauss. Lastly I'd suggest getting ahold of Ross Jeffries' Nail Your Inner Game. They'll give you some insights into how to meet and attract women. It's basically about getting your head straight so you have confidence by being successful.

well, You should try to ask her out or wait for a dance and ask her to dance with you. But rejection isn't the end of the world. sure she might say no.but what of it. you could work out eat better if your not already.But you gotta try or else you won't know what could have been. You can try to impress her by giving her flowers or chocolate or something But no matter what happens if you keep trying sooner or later you will find the right girl that likes you for you.

It's going to happen. Now, maybe not with this girl, but some girl. There's always someone who's going to be better than you.

I've said before, I'm apparently what most woman would call "dry heave ugly." There's not much of a fix for that, besides maybe being wealthy. There's not much I can work with there. Now, you can work with being overweight (party animal type), or you can look into getting healthy if you aren't already, and depending on metabolism and all that, you may grow out of it, and slim down just naturally.

As for getting nervous about asking girls out, welcome to the club. For some guys, it gets easier the more you ask. For me, it got more and more difficult. It's to the point where the last time I officially asked out a girl, I threw up all over (I calmly made it to the bathroom, however), and then had terrible shakes for the rest of the night. I'm good at hiding it, but it still happens.

But as tough as it is, I still do ask girls out on occasion; I get up the courage, I ask her out in a good way, (without being wishy washy or indecisive); I get the nasty rejection, I get sick to my stomach, and there you go. Throw up in private, and eventually get up the courage to ask out another girl.

It may not get easier, but you need to do it when it's important to you and it seems like the best time. There's a quote (I'll be paraphrasing here) about the true test of a man isn't that he doesn't have fears, but that he can overcome those fears. Unfortunately, for a shot at happiness, you need to get past those feelings and, to quote the Nike tagline "Just do it."

Good luck.
