Why is it so hard to talk to your crush?

[Anonymous]

Typical story, I like this girl and I have a real hard time to approach her. My friend said just grow some balls which is what I tried to do. I psyched myself up and tried to get the ball rolling, but when I came up to her, bam! I just shut down! I don't get it either, when we are in the same group of friends and everybody is talking, I'm not afraid to crack a joke or ask her something.

So why is it so hard talking to her one on one? And are there little things I could do to give me more confidence one on one? I'm also afraid that she thinks I only want to be friends because I am afraid to show that I care.

So, tips on this would be appreciated!

Agree with Cali. I have the same problem. Perfectly fine talking with my crush via email/text/phone. Get me in person, I'm mute. I'm lucky if I can muster up an "uh-huh". It is so frustrating!

Be yourself. Ask her a question about herself. Let her know you're interested in her interest/life. Take it one step at a time. Before you know it you'll be having a conversation with her.

And don't forget to BREATHE!

your nervous because you like her. Just be yourself and ask her a question, that will lead to random conversations and then she will realize that you like her because you will most likey flirt, right? Right.
