<p>I flash my crushes and shake the goods in their face. </p>
<p>But thart usually permanently scares them away. :(</p>
<p>No, because I’m a wimp. 
Oh well.</p>
<p>^^ Why ?!</p>
<p>Why am I a wimp? I don’t know. That is one part of my personality (though not overwhelming) I don’t take pride in. I also am not a robust contender in the dating field…call it highschool, call it a high GPA, or just me, but I honestly think college will be more fruitful for me socially.
I guess the fact that I feel comfortable acknowledging my wimpiness is a first step. But many of my “crushes” are actually fleeting and ill-conceived, so I find out two weeks later that my hesitance paid off not only in terms of embarassment, but also in terms of sanity.</p>
<p>I think that she was referring to an alternative individual.</p>
<p>I don’t believe that I would feel compelled to do that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Completely agree. I change crushes far too frequently, and they’re not really serious. They’re just something entertaining to keep me occupied with my mundane life. No guy has really been that interesting yet tbh.</p>
<p>I have once. Things worked out at first, but I ended it.[he’s now my best friend]</p>
<p>She’s already found out indirectly through this short story we had to create for AP Lit. :/</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I remember this from the “shy girls” thread and thinking " this is exactly how I REACT"!!! It stems from my fear of rejection/ embarrasment" So acting like I don’t like the person will mean that the person never has to say they don’t like me. </p>
<p>Although in 6th grade I called my crush during a sleepover and pretended to be my friend who was really close to him. I told him that a girl in our class has a crush on him and to try and guess who it was. Since we only had 12 girls in our class he went down the list and when he got to my name he responded “Nahhhhhh…Collegestress16 would never have a crush on me”. Ultimately I told him, I was Collegestress16 and I knew he didn’t like me, but it wasn’t awkward at all for some reason, since he was so gracious about it.</p>

<p>Your college rejection wouldn’t go blabbering to her friends. So this analogy is flawed.</p>
<p>You guys…just keep in mind that so many guys are shy. How would you make yourself unique?</p>
<p>Just interact with a girl, and then…just go up to her when she’s alone and say “Hey, I like you. I find you interesting and I want to get to know you more. How would you like to go out with me?”</p>
<p>See? Its simple. If she doesn’t like you, then move on.</p>
