How can I seem less intimidating to my crush?

Question - (12 May 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 13 May 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm 16 years old and never been on asked out, gone a date, had my first kiss, or anything of the sort. I have a lot of friends, basically equal amounts of guys and girls, and consider myself a people-person. Several of my friends have told me that I'm quite intimidating, and I can understand why people would think that.

I'll go ahead and admit: I been told I'm pretty, and I've noticed some of my male friends staring at me multiple times. I'm also really smart- I have the high A's in the hardest classes at my school and legitimately plan on attending MIT. I'm outgoing and make friends quickly.

One thing you should know- I'm kind of a goody-two-shoes. I don't swear, I don't wear slutty clothes, and I plan on being abstinent until marriage. Compared to half the girls in my school, I’m Virgin Mary.

So apparently, I intimidate all these people and turn them off to me before I even can befriend them. My crush has a few classes with me, and I get the feeling he likes me back. I’ve seen him staring at me and even mirroring my actions. Being so inexperienced, I read up on some body language cues, and according to the books, he’s got the hots for me. The thing is that I can’t seem to hint to him that I like him back. Usually, I’m really open and outgoing with people, but I can’t help but get nervous and shy around him, so I come off as uninterested, which doesn’t help. I think he’s intimidated by me, so how can I give him enough confidence that I like him so that he can ask me out already?

Step one is try talking to him.

That is one of the best ways to tell him how you feel.

You can pratice what you want to say or just wing it

Once you have told him outright (most guys will not see that as imtpidating) than it is his move.
