Well there is this guy at my school that I have a crush on. He is a senior and I'm a junior. My friend knew someone that knew him so told them that I thought he was cute (she didnt tell him my name, thank god), but he wanted to meet me. I'm super shy. When she called to tell me I felt like I was going to throw up and my stomach started getting that sick nervous feeling inside of it. He is shy like I am and so its really hard to spark conversation. It's been three days that we've been talking via the phone and internet and its getting a little bit more comfortable. I had one of my best guy friends on the phone with me during the chat. It was awkward and the guy I like didnt talk much. Its been three days so far since we started talking and he is starting to open up to me. I feel scared and I like moving super slow. I'm in no rush to date anyone. I've never had a boyfriend so this is frightening. I don't know what the hell I'm experiencing. These feelings are unknown territory to me. I haven't met him at school and he has no idea what I look like. I'm super self conscious, so i don't want to meet him. I pass him in the hall and he doesnt know its me. He seems accepting of me and my weirdness. He is actually really sweet. I cant stop thinking about him. I really hate this. Who knew falling for someone could be difficult??? I'm too scared to actually come up to him at school. I just can't do it. Any advice?

You have to have more confidence in yourself :) I think you should personally introduce yourself to him, I know it is easier said than done, but if he is accepting of you and your personality from the talks you've had over the phone and messaging each other online then I'm sure he can accept the irl you. Maybe even tease him and ask him if he can figure out who you are at school and that will show that he is determined to meet you and get to know you.

I did that lol he said he would be on the lookout for me. My friend that told him about me said she saw him in the hall and they made eye contact. I think he was trying to figure out if the girl next to her was me.

Angel, if you're both shy, I do agree it would be hard. My suggestion, if you're willing, ask him to meet you somewhere for dinner... He's a senior, so he should be able to get out to what ever place you choose... Don't go too big, but at the same time, don't go to McD's... Go somewhere where you two can sit down and chat, get to know each other without prying eyes (such as friends).

The current girlfriend and I agreed to meet up at the movies, we watched a movie... Nothing really came from it until we decided to have dinner afterwards... Sharri's (another version of Denny's), I know, it's almost like McDonalds but it was the only place open past 11PM and it is a sit-down place. Apparently she's shy, but as soon as we started talking, she opened up in seconds. One thing I noticed that I pointed out, are her eyes. Her pupils opened up when she was looking at me, I made mention of it and she laughed. I told her, "when someone looks at something they like, their pupils dilate, trying to take in more of what's appealing."

She responded with, "They also dilate when there's low light." So I moved the light on her and her pupils remained the same on me, so she admitted that there was an immediate physical attraction... There's a lot more to this story, but I won't bore you further... Back to you :P

What really is important is getting to know each other... Once you two are alone, you can see how he'll react to you, without all the games such as, "find me amongst my friends." Idk, maybe I'm too old, to play games, but if it works for you two, then by all means.

Be prepared though, my idea is direct... You'll get to see if he feels the same way or not... On the flip side, you may also not like how he is.

A great way to get to know a guy face to face and be in a more relax and comfortable setting is to go on a group outing. It is perfect because you both have mutual friends. This way you can see if he finds you attractive without actually telling him who you are, though I would tell him pretty much right off the bat because you don't want him to think that you are playing games with him. But if you are really shy about it at first, you can wait a little while to tell him. So, yeah, you should ask one of your friends that knows him to ask him and a few friends to hang out at someone's house or the movies or the mall or something. Then after you both are at least semi-comfortable with each other, you guys can go off alone and hang out together just the two of you.
The only reason things worked out between me and my boyfriend in the beginning, at least I assume this, was because we were both surounded by friends who we could be ourselves with and not care about what we thought of the other. Our first date started off as a group outing to the mall and then we left to go back to his house and talk until it was time for me to go home. A few days later he asked me out to dinner and it all sort of fell into place from there. Of course, your situation is a little bit more difficult, however, because you have had a crush on him for awhile now. Crushes always make it harder to be with a guy that could potentially be a great boyfriend because they make you over think things and get really nervous. But don't let that discourage you!!! You just have to tell yourself that he could possibly also have a crush on you too, and he is, more than likely, just as shy and nervous about meeting him as you are.
Whatever you decide to do, believe in yourself and don't go against what your heart is telling you. Don't ever assume that someone you like won't like you back, because if you are too afraid to try then you have already lost. Best of luck!

Wow you're lucky
just meet him it is going to work or it won't
period

Take it slow, then you should finally ask him in a joking way if he likes you, or imply that he likes you and maybe he'll tell you the truth. I like plan 2 better. You should try at least one of those. Although, I think you already know that choice 1 can ruin your friendship. Although, you also should think about your future if you go with him.
