Question - (6 February 2017) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 February 2017)
A male United Kingdom age 18-21, anonymous writes:

I've known that somebody in my school is attracted to me, and I have to say for myself that I am attracted as well. However, I and my ' crush ' are shy people (We usually talk to each other and get along well). It's difficult to proceed as I am notably shy around others and have a sort of fear about asking her out. How should I proceed?

Hey, im also shy too. Worrying i wont ever overcome this either.

However, with what you are saying, if you are both shy, why dont you maybe do something together as a way of breaking the ice.

I know it is going to be very daunting at the sound of it, but this could just be the thing that helps you both in considering startimg a possible future.

Hi

I'm a guy who has just turned 40. I've been very shy all my life and, looking back. my shyness has got in the way of many opportunities.

But, I am still shy- as a newly single man, I'm having to try to overcome my shyness again, something I didn't think I'd need to do at this age.

Think of it in these two way- you can't let your shyness stop you from trying to get what you desire. But, the shyness is part of who you are.

I'd suggest trying to combine both elements and talk to your crush about the fact you are shy and you think she is shy. And as part of that converstion, ask her on a date.

In any case, I really recommend trying to overcome your shyness- you're at a great age to do it and you'll be glad you did. Start with small things to boost your confidence and take it one small step at a time!
