A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

There's this guy I really like but I've no idea whether he feels the same way. I'm really scared of rejection because I'm shy and have really low self esteem, so i really don't know what to do.

Danielepew agony auntI say, when you close the door to pain, you also close it to love. Loving someone means taking chances. Eventually you'll get rejected. But, that won't be the end of the world. At some point, you'll have something wonderful going. Cheer up and get moving!

AngelofLove agony auntWhen you say you know this guy, you do not mention how well you know him.

Has he given indication that he likes you? Perhaps he is a friend and enjoys your company.

You could try spending sometime with him and get to know him better. Find out if he is looking for a girlfriend, does he make lots of eye contact whilst smilling at you?

The only way to find out is to just tell him you like him and see what happens. What is the worse it can happen, he is not into you?

Whatever you decide to do, don't let the fact that if a guy does not fancy you put you off.

Everyone goes through rejection at some point in life, it is inevitable, accept it as a part of reality and learn from each experience as a challenge presented to you.

When the time is right, the ideal soulmate will come along.

Your priority should be on building your self esteem, learn to love yourself for the unique being that you are, this confidence will give you positive energy and make you look more attractive as a person.

It is easier to like a happy bubbly person than a person who needs reassurance.

I am sure you have more to offer than what you give yourself credit for.

Take care and good luck

Angel of Love
