A female United States age 36-40, *achel3288 writes:

Ok, so I've got it bad. I've liked him since sept. '07, We're friends and go to church together. We usually hang out in groups after church and stuff and he's not really shy but when it comes to girls...He is! His sister told me he's never dated a girl and this complicates things a bit. I love just being around him. My friend asked him if he liked me and he was shy but told her yes. I don't see him making a move anytime soon.

I see him looking at me sometimes out of the corner of my eye or if i'm having a conversation w/some1 else. I've tried to hint 4 us to go out sometime but i think he's not ready for us to hang out alone yet. He's 21 by the way and i'm 20 and i've dated a few guys but they have all been fwd. I'm shy too but he's worse!

My friend has hinted around a little but i don't think he caught on. I don't want to have to make the first move! I'm scared of rejection. Help please!!!!

Nothing ventured nothing gained! You are friends, so why not just ask him on a date to the movies, a nice scary one, then you can have an excuse to grap his hand or lean closer to him. Maybe he is also scared of rejection? Have you ever tried, when you are together to by accident touch his arm or playfully put your hand on his shoulder....little body language gestures, that will give you an indication too. Enjoy!

Tremor agony auntEveryone is scared of rejection - it's natural. If this guy is too shy to make a move on you, then you're going to have to suck it up and ask him.

Remind yourself that he likes you. He has told people that he likes you. He is probably thinking the same thing you are, and he is probably just as shy as you. If you ask him out it could well be a relief for the both of you - once it's done, it's out there and you don't have to fret about it.

And really, you'll never now unless you try, now, will you? The worst thing that can happen is that he'll say no, and if he does, then at least you know you tried.

Be brave, and good luck! =)
