A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hey guys, There is this guy that i strongly like and I've known him for almost 2 years. He's more than a friend but less than a best friend. Sometimes it looks like he likes me and other times it doesn't and i'm so confused right now. I can't handle this any more so i'm just gonna tell him how i feel but in a few short weeks. My question is I am terrified that he'll say no, or i only see you as a friend, or i'm trying to get with someone else. How can I learn to be more confident and get over the fear of rejection. Please help i will appreciate anything.....thanks (:

Remember that it's all in your head, it's worse than it really is. Think about it from another perspective- if he says no, will the world end? It may feel like it, but you'll get over it and move on to another guy. You're still so young and have your whole life ahead of you and there are plenty of fish in the sea! So give it a try, maybe he really wants to ask you out and is terrified as well, so you will be doing him a favor! Worse comes to worse and he does say no, have a sleep over with your girl friends, listen to music, eat junk food, watch movies, laugh until you cry, and know that time heals all wounds. Go for it!! (Good luck!!!)

smile all the time. be comfortable in any situation, talk yourself confident. tell yourself you are a damn sexy girl and you'll believe it, then you can act like you believe it. you'll be much better.

try flirting with other lads (boys), nothing promiscuous please, just smile and talk to lads to improve your confidence. it works.

I've been in your shoes before and i know that it's not easy. Ok, you have to understand this- rejection is a part of life. You're probably thinking well duh, i already know that but it is true. He can either say one of two things yes or no. So, just walk with your head held up high and let the mantra 'i am the hottest girl in the world' or anything that works for you in your head as you are talking to him. Trust me boys can feel when a girl is confident with herself.
