Girl I have a crush on asked me why I get nervous. What should I have said?

[Anonymous]

So there is this girl that i have a crush on. I was eating my food and she had to open the cupboard and she was kind of close so i naturally moved back. She said “no it’s okay” when i moved back and then she asked me why i get so nervous. I didn't know what to say so just said “what?” and then she said “yes, why do you get so nervous?”. Her saying that made me even more nervous and I didn’t know how to reply so i didn't say anything. She then went away. Im not sure how she can tell whats going on because we have never talked, very little. So now the question, what do you even say when someone asks you that?

Tell her the truth. She obviously knows you're feeling something when she's around. It's better to just say it than look like an idiot and not say anything or lie.

I am not calling you idiot I understand you're very young and new to it. But that's how it goes. Adults don't like it when you avoid talking to them or lie to them. It's not like when you're a teenager when they care about you more. Now as an adult people when you bullshit around it makes people not want to be around you. It looks childish and makes people not take you seriously. People you respect you for having integrity and being honest or saying thing as honest as you can. Again not shaming I get that you're early 20s and new to this.

How should i say the truth?

Just say it naturally. What pops in your head. I think you're pretty and was hoping you are single. Whatever pops in your head. That's what I do and I get them easy.

I don't use any pick up lines. I don't play hot and cold. I just say "hey I am just looking for something casual" and she'll just say "yeah me".

She’s reading your body language and the vibe that you give off and so she can tell that you’re nervous. I don’t think it was meant as a comment at all. She just wants you to feel more comfortable around her, which is a good thing. (Not saying she likes you back, I would need more information for that, but she at least wants you to know that you have no reason to be nervous around her.)

There isn't really any more info to add tbh. We barely talk.

Ok! Then don’t worry and just see it as a positive experience. Nobody sees you any differently. I also realized a typo in my response—I wanted to say: I don’t think it was meant as a [mean] comment.
