Do you overthink your "crush situation"?

[Anonymous]

This applies to girls and guys. Anyway, my friends keep telling me I'm overthinking on how I should act towards my crush. I just can't seem to build the nerve to make the move even though I want to (typical I know) they are convinced that he likes me too because I told them he acts different as in nervous/quiet around me compared to everyone else (he is able to talk to any girl just fine) and I catch him staring at me a lot and then looking away fast as if he didn't want me to know. I'm not jumping to the conclusion as to whether he likes me or not so I don't know what to think. Anyway, so have any of you ever over thought how the outcome would be when talking to your crush instead of just simply going for it? Thank you for your answer if you answered xoxo

This applies to guys and girls in exactly the same way. If you're talking with someone who is just a friend or colleague, the conversation is very calm and relaxed, because there is no fear or anxiety about saying something wrong and losing the connection with that person.
When interacting or talking with a crush, everything is totally different. Nervousness is generated by thoughts of getting it wrong and scaring the person off, excitement and arousal generated by thoughts of what you'd like to do with that person, and what you'd like them to do to you. Thoughts of that crush will almost definitely be in your mind 24/7 creating even stronger feelings of nervousness and excitement each time you interact with them. Hopefully the feelings are mutual.

I have gotten over awkwardness in life in all situations. So I usually end up becoming friends with my crushes, but then I over think about asking them out. don't know why, I just can't do it.

In the fabulous words of Tina Belcher, "I have logged over 3,000 fantasy hours on my relationship."
An exaggeration, but the girl speaks the truth. <3

I think it's normal. All of my friends do too, guys and girls. I do. It seems natural to be curious.

Who doesn't? It's something you learn to fight against with experience and maturity but it's always there, whispering in the background.
